Digitalization in the automotive industry - new requirements for companies
Why digitalization is unavoidable for automotive companies
The terms “Industry 4.0” and “digitalization” are omnipresent these days. With regard to the automotive industry, the digital transformation affects two key areas: the digitalization of vehicles, i.e. the products themselves, and the digitalization of production.
Drivers’ expectations of vehicle functions have changed significantly in recent years. Functions such as reversing cameras and parking sensors, which were considered intelligent a few years ago, are now often taken for granted, while customer requirements have evolved towards connectivity and autonomous driving in particular. Manufacturers who want to maintain or even expand their market share are forced to invest in these areas – either by buying in the relevant expertise or by creating resources to utilize the knowledge available in-house in these areas.
These changes are far-reaching and therefore harbor certain risks. However, there is also a great danger of losing touch with the ever-changing technologies and the associated customer requirements. One task that must not be neglected under any circumstances is the digitalization of processes in the areas of production, strategy, marketing and sales. The services of PTA IT-Beratung focus on digitalization on the production side of the automotive industry: With IT solutions such as enterprise resource planning, process management and customer relationship management, our experienced experts support you in the digital transformation of your internal processes.
