Customer

The customer is a large electric car company that designs, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles, electric vehicle powertrain components, and stationary energy storage systems in the US, China, Norway, and internationally.

Business Challenge

The senior management of a leading electric car company was looking for ways to manage the complete manufacturing shop floor movement of parts to be assembled. 

Once deployed in production, it will be a critical app in the manufacturing process. They were looking to implement it on priority as they were scaling their manufacturing facilities in the gigafactories.

The shop floor information was maintained via spreadsheets and the overall process was very inefficient, leading to wasted man-hours and re-verification of shop floor movement, leading to inconsistencies in assembly management. 

The overall maintenance of the inventory relationship took a lot of work to maintain as the entire process was manual and prone to errors. 

  • The data was managed in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, giving rise to a complex process. It was too tedious and costly to manage.
  • Creating APIs for integrating with applications like CRM and others was expensive.
