Audi scales up deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in production

27 Jan Audi scales up deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in production

(Oilandgaspress) -] Audi AG is consistently rolling out artificial intelligence (AI) in production and logistics: the company is scaling up its own cloud platform for production and introducing new AI use cases and technologies for large-scale series production. In doing so, the premium manufacturer is relying on the expertise of strong partners. Decades of manufacturing expertise meet smart digital solutions.

Audi AG is putting the Edge Cloud 4 Production (EC4P) into operation across its production environment. In doing so, the company is setting the next benchmark in fully networked factory automation and at the same time laying the foundation for the widespread use of AI in production. EC4P makes it possible to combine conventional automation technology with flexibility and computing power from the cloud. This allows Audi to simplify processes, reduce the amount of hardware required on site, and introduce new functions more quickly. That makes processes more stable, reduces maintenance costs, and increases IT security.

In vehicle assembly at German plants, for example, worker guidance is increasingly being controlled centrally from the cloud: employees on the production line receive information such as vehicles’ specifications or regional versions from a central source in real time. The move to the cloud has already eliminated the need for more than 1,000 industrial PCs.
