For some time now, the growth rate of car sales in Europe has been slowing down. While we are not yet talking about a recession, it’s reasonable to expect this trend to deepen. It’s well- known that the automotive market indicators often act as a precursor to other industries. As a result, we should anticipate a slowdown in the broader economy.
In the automotive sector, this is influenced by the economic conflict between the USA and China, Brexit, and the instability of the Italian economy. Additionally, technological changes, particularly the shift to electric vehicles, play a significant role. From a manufacturing
perspective, this means simplifying designs, focusing on component regeneration, which leads to fewer new parts being produced and a narrowing of the supplier base. These factors compel companies to rethink their development strategies for the near future.
Currently, various system technologies are available that aim to reduce fixed costs, automate processes, and better adapt to the often very specific and rapidly changing demands of customers or the market. Solutions like SaaS, Cloud, Industry 4.0, Deep Learning – artificial intelligence, IoT, advanced APS (automatic planning) algorithms, and solutions on demand are simply not enough on their own. These factors highlight the need for a dialogue between service providers and customers. The question arises: how can the available tools, which integrate all these mechanisms, be used most effectively in your business? The automotive industry undoubtedly shows that this is now a necessity. The foundation for new solutions lies in the valuable experience of experts.
