Use Cases in the Automotive Industry
Here we demonstrate how cutting-edge technologies like AI, HPC and Big Data are transforming the automotive industry.
Automated Manufacturing
Using robots and machines to automate manufacturing processes. Automated manufacturing refers to the use of robots, CNC machines, sensors and computer-controlled systems to perform production tasks with minimal human intervention. It is a cornerstone of modern industry, especially where consistency, precision and scalability are critical.
Predictive Maintenance
Using IoT sensors and algorithms to predict maintenance needs before breakdowns occur.Predictive maintenance (PdM) uses data from sensors, historical records, and machine learning to predict when vehicle components might fail or degrade, so maintenance can be scheduled before breakdowns occur. Unlike preventive maintenance (done at fixed intervals), PdM is condition-based and data-driven.
Vehicle Configuration
Digital platforms enabling customized vehicle configuration.Initial vehicle configuration is the process of defining and validating the design, structure, and functional setup of a new vehicle model before physical prototypes are built. It covers: Design of chassis, powertrain, aerodynamics, electronics, etc. Material selection and structural optimization. Integration of new technologies (e.g., ADAS, EV drivetrains).
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Technologies that assist drivers in making safer driving decisions (e.g., automatic braking).ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — technologies built into vehicles to assist drivers in driving safely, avoiding accidents, and reducing the severity of unavoidable crashes. It helps by providing warnings, automatic corrections, or automated driving functions in specific situations.
Autonomous Driving
Developing technologies for self-driving cars, including sensors and GPS navigation.Current State in the Industry (2025 snapshot)
Electric Mobility and Charging Infrastructure
Developing electric vehicles and building the charging infrastructure to support them.Vehicle Development Wider adoption: EVs now cover almost every segment — from small city cars and family SUVs to luxury sedans, pickup trucks, and even delivery vans and heavy-duty trucks.
Smart Supply Chain
Optimizing the supply chain using IoT and AI for better efficiency and cost savings.A Smart Supply Chain leverages connected technologies and advanced analytics — especially Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud computing — to: Optimize operations Improve real-time visibility Reduce costs Enhance resilience and agility Instead of relying on manual processes and historical data alone, supply chains now run on live data and predictive intelligence.
Vehicle Data Analysis
Leveraging vehicle data for personalized maintenance services and improved customer experience.Modern vehicles generate massive amounts of data — from sensors, control units, and telematics — which is collected and analyzed to: Monitor vehicle health Understand driver behavior Predict maintenance needs Personalize user experience This data-driven approach enables automakers, dealerships, fleet operators, and even insurers to deliver smarter, more proactive services
