The automotive industry transformation is paved with DXC solutions for autonomous driving development, vehicle validation, supply chain management, visual risk management, spare part pricing, sales and marketing analytics, and more.
Analytics and data management
Automotive organizations need the power of advanced analytics to make data-driven decisions and develop data-reliant products for competitive advantage. Expanding the use of automotive analytics and data management means enhancing your data science capabilities. DXC’s analytics solutions include:
- Research and development (R&D) testing for autonomous cars
- Field duration tests
- Supply chain
- After sales intelligence & data logistics
Autonomous vehicle development
This effort continues to challenge and transform our ideas about the future of mobility as we enable faster research and development of autonomous vehicles. Read more about our offering, DXC Robotic Drive.
Vehicle validation
A critical part of the vehicle development process, test vehicles are used to validate and evaluate the design and performance of a new car or truck. For example, autonomous test vehicles are covered in sensors. With each test run, they generate terabytes and petabytes of data. DXC supports the vehicle validation process from ingestion of the data to analysis and machine learning applications to distribution, all in a secure environment.
One customer performs field durability testing in China, Finland and South Africa, far from their engineering team. DXC analyzes and delivers the data locally, from each test site, so the regional engineering teams can have faster access to the latest information. This information is also accessible to the client’s engineers around the globe.
Supply chain management
The goal is to keep products, operations and supply chains moving freely. Visual Risk Management System (VRMS) helps auto manufacturers monitor manmade and natural events that impact operations in any region. VRMS gives you the data-driven event awareness and visibility in real or near real time, so you can respond quickly to threats and avoid potential losses and downtime. VRMS brings together data from satellites, sensors, telecommunications and expert analysts to enable real time awareness and visualization of all risks – so you can rapidly respond to perils, avoid hazards and minimize delays. Instant notification, configurable risk measurement tools, warning and alert subscriptions, global mapping, and custom reports provide a clear view of your enterprise to help you make faster, more informed decisions to protect global operations and supply chains.
The automotive aftermarket
We can now apply machine learning algorithms that run analytics to provide information such as the best pricing and demand forecasts for spare parts. We can also analyze unstructured shop feedback during repairs to identify unknown issues. Our experts advise and build new architecture concepts to onboard, manage and analyze the growing data volume of the connected car fleets in a secure and scalable hybrid architecture. We are also working with our OEM clients’ teams to provide analytics for their production plants. After-sales intelligence, service and marketing examples:
- Spare part price optimization – DXC applies the concept of price elasticity to analyze demand forecasts for spare parts and provide price optimization. Fast, automated price recommendations are made while providing the data on which the recommendations were based. This allows automotive clients to continually, automatically identify the best price strategy.
- Remote support for vehicle repair – DXC enables warranty and repair center personnel to use remote experts who can use augmented reality to assist with more challenging requests and then use analytics to report data that can help identify issues or provide information for decision making.
- Marketing and customer intelligence – New cars will track data on everything from the number of turns the car makes to where the drivers dine, where they shop and where they work or vacation. DXC helps automakers secure and leverage customer intelligence to increase dealer service, sales, and further monetize consumer data.
