The manufacturing industry transformation is paved with DXC solutions for autonomous driving development, supply chain management, visual risk management, replacement part pricing, sales and marketing analytics, and more.
Analytics and data management
Manufacturing organizations need the power of advanced analytics to make data-driven decisions and develop data-reliant products for competitive advantage. Expanding the use of analytics and data management means enhancing your data science capabilities. DXC’s analytics solutions include:
- Research and development (R&D) testing for autonomous vehicles
- Field duration tests
- Supply chain
- After sales intelligence & data logistics
Autonomous vehicle development
continues to challenge and transform our ideas about the future of mobility, robots and vehicles as we enable faster research and development of autonomous vehicles. Read more about our offering, DXC Robotic Drive.
Operational insight
Manufacturers also face serious challenges associated with disparate systems and data – and a lack of visibility which can impact quality. These issues can lead to high production costs, low production yields, high scrap rates and service issues that drive up costs and erode margins. Many manufacturing companies lack the resources and tools to analyze process variables that can have the biggest impact on quality and performance.
Using predictive analytics to improve asset uptime, quality and yield
Most quality programs focus on quality of supplies or finished products. But to optimize quality and reduce cost simultaneously, manufacturers must assess quality before or during the manufacturing process.
DXC Technology delivers predictive quality and predictive maintenance solutions that help 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.
Supply chain management
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 supply chain 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 aftermarket
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 feedback during product 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 devices or vehicles in a secure and scalable hybrid architecture. We are also working with our OEM customers’ teams to provide analytics for their production plants. After-sales intelligence, service and marketing examples:
- Replacement part price optimization – DXC applies the concept of price elasticity to analyze demand forecasts for replacement parts and provide price optimization. Fast, automated price recommendations are made while providing the data on which the recommendations were based. This allows customers to continually, automatically identify the best price strategy.
- Remote support for product repair – DXC enables warranty and repair 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.
- Vehicle operations intelligence – New vehicles will track data on everything from the number of turns the vehicle makes to where it's used and how frequently. DXC helps automakers secure and leverage this intelligence to ensure vehicles are bringing the most value.
