  • Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities'
    Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities' Dr. Dieter Zetsche Chairman of the Board of Management, Daimler AG Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Division November 5, 2015 Excerpts from Dr. Zetsche's Remarks On the state of the U.S. economy: It’s funny: For decades, people have predicted the downfall of the American economy. In the ’80s, many feared that Japan would soon be the leading economy in the world. In the 2000s, they say the same thing about China. Yet, despite all of those bleak predictions, the U.S. continues to be the locomotive of the world economy. On German hardware: German hardware is just as exciting as American software. On electric cars: Five years ago most people assumed that virtually every auto manufacturer in the world would mostly sell electric vehicles. Today, five years later, we know high purchase prices, cheap gas, range anxiety, a limited number of charging stations – these and many other factors slowed down the rise of electric mobility. Plus to this day, no manufacturer has actually made money on electric vehicles. Daimler was and I think still is the first exception, because we sold our stake in Tesla with a $750 million gain. [Laughter.] On learning cars: Our long-term vision is a learning car that progressively tailors itself to the driver. And that’s important because the more functions the car is equipped with, the more complex it becomes. On car sharing: Daimler is the first auto manufacturer in the car-sharing business. When we launched our service Car2Go, many people thought it was crazy to share cars instead of selling them.

  • For Maximum Process Transparency In
    For maximum process transparency in automotive component production With software solutions of the Nexeed Industrial Application System Case study © Bosch Connected Industry bosch-connected-industry.com cvw 2 About the BMW Group plant Landshut The BMW Group plant Landshut supplies all of the BMW Group vehicle and engine plants around the world with innovative components. Each BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce is fitted with a piece of pure innovation made in Landshut. As the center of expertise for lightweight construction and electromobility, the plant sets trends for an entire industry. Not only do trendsetting technologies for the BMW i models originate at the location. The BMW 7 Series, the BMW brand‘s flagship, also features innovations from the Landshut production floor. Summary The BMW Group’s Landshut plant manufactures components and other products for the trend-setting BMW i models. Several software solutions of the Nexeed Industrial Application System (Nexeed IAS) make sure that the manufacturing process is just as innovative as the product itself: with the help of this software solution, parameters related to cockpit pro- duction can be monitored in real time, making it possible for the cockpit and equipment technology department to establish standards for the plant-wide introduction of this Industry 4.0 solution. For example, the maintenance staff at the punch press need all the punch pressure sensor and slide characteristic values to monitor the condition of the machine. The applications of the Nexeed IAS not only clearly visua- lize this data. Using self-configured rules, theNexeed IAS also immedi- ately reports any deviations, preventing unnecessary interruptions and minimizing downtimes.
