DXC helps customers implement IT systems for new production lines and plants or adapt existing IT to new models and production requirements.
DXC Technology helps our customers achieve their key plant objectives: efficiency, stability and with decreased downtime.
In the design and engineering processes, companies need to capture the various data formats that exist and make them seamlessly available on demand to thousands of engineers spread across the globe. By using digital technology, a digital factory allows companies to model, simulate and analyze procedures and systems to help shape the production lifecycle. It’s all about modernizing business processes and adapting to new business models, and the digital factory can do that to help automotive companies get to the next level.
Our experts help you define a viable roadmap for becoming a digital company with solutions such as our Industry 4.0 platform that helps you achieve the vision for a truly connected factory.
Industry 4.0 Platform
Enable Industry 4.0 standards such as secure runtime environments and integration between IT and operational technology (OT). A digital manufacturing Industry 4.0 platform can be built as a partial or factory-built turnkey solution available for both brownfield and greenfield plants.
- Unified, interconnected computing in smart factories
- Secure interfaces for collaboration with external service landscapes
- Digital manufacturing services build upon platform
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Implement IT systems for new production lines and plants or adapt existing IT to new models and production requirements. Achieve your key plant objectives: efficiency, stability and decreased downtime.
- OEE transparency
- Cross-plant collaboration
- Improve productivity to increase revenue, reduce overtime, labor etc.
- Reduce raw, WIP, FG inventory and carrying costs
SAP for Manufacturing
DXC offers specialized SAP offerings for manufacturing as well as many crosss-industry SAP solutions that help customers integrate digital functionality into existing production lines and plants to enable new business models and elastic production requirements. We can help you synchronize manufacturing operations with back-office business processes and standardize your data, thus enabling Industry 4.0 standards such as secure runtime environments and integration between IT and operational technology (OT).
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
DXC provides the computing services, licenses and support required for new product development. We install the systems, implement processes and manage day-to-day operations. Compute and storage is available from a variety of cloud options that provide speed and flexibility, and we offer these services in a price per user/month model.
- Faster time-to-market
- Improved cycle times for greater profitability
- Better reporting & analytics
- Greater design efficiency for reduced product cost
Location Intelligence
Addresses the challenge of dealing with IoT data by leveraging that information in real time to cut waste, optimize routes and predict trends. In automotive manufacturing, it is essential to know the location of component parts and sub-assemblies to inform the supply chain and make sure there is a coherent feeding of the right sub-assemblies and parts to the right assembly line. DXC’s OmniLocation intelligence solutions help companies ensure the visibility and consistency of products, predicting and diagnosing problems before they become major problems. If a disruption occurs due to a weather-related event, for example, it is imperative to have effective location intelligence to make the appropriate decisions in real time. Positive business outcomes include:
- Head off supply chain disruptions and lower safety stocks, reducing costs
- Optimize routes, tasks and scheduling
- Maximize asset utilization by monitoring the movement, activity and interaction of people, machines and vehicles
- Reduce asset ownership costs through the recording, analysis, prediction and active control of assets in two-way communications
Factory as a Service (FaaS)
Services include IT for the management information system, logistics, finance and human relations departments. Through FaaS, clients obtain a full view of what their IT costs will be when starting new product development or opening a new factory.
Our automotive consultants develop and operate complete Factory IT as a Service (FaaS) solutions. This includes MES, Industry 4.0 platforms, and key functional parts of engineering, such as PLM systems. Our experts also work with clients to define their roadmap for becoming digital companies.
Predictive quality and maintenance solutions
Help keep operations running seamlessly while improving asset efficiency and safety, which reduces overall maintenance costs. Quality issues or equipment failures can lead to high production costs, low production yields, high scrap rates and service issues that drive up costs and erode margins.
Predictive analytics solutions from DXC deliver predictive quality and predictive maintenance solutions that help automotive industry manufacturers analyze data from multiple operational sources to reach the next level in automation and human/machine interaction. Enabling predictive defect detection and prevention through advanced analytics helps improve asset uptime, quality and yield of your production processes. Other benefits include:
- Improved quality by predicting issues before they occur
- Decreased costs through scrap reduction
- On-time delivery and shorter order-to-cash cycles
- More efficient operations through automation of machinery performance tuning
DXC can help you establish new business models and new business services, on managed cloud platforms and converged plant infrastructure solutions. We help customers harness the value of analytical business insights to manage the performance of new business opportunities.
