The Automotive Supply Chain for manufacturing cars, trucks, and other vehicles is one of the most complex and demanding in the world. While COVID-19 has disrupted the automotive supply chain, it has created new opportunities to establish a stronger North American footprint, utilizing automation and other new technologies. Going forward, the automotive industry may have to focus on building flexible and resilient supply chains that allow manufacturers to rapidly reorient and respond to disruptions. Risk mitigation, cost, and quality will be key factors moving forward.

With the rise of electric vehicles, new technologies, and tougher fuel standards, the demand for plastics in the automotive space is booming. High-performance plastics will be critical as automobile Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seek to reduce the overall weight of vehicles to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency. In the Automotive Supply Chain, a rising preference for high-performance plastics as a substitute for conventional metals is expected to fuel market growth. Attention to improved ergonomics, interior finishes, convenience features, smart technology, driver assist, minimal vibration, and reduced cabin noise are all target areas for OEMs wanting to appeal to discerning consumers. Molded, high-performance plastic parts play a critical role in achieving these goals.

IoT Solutions For The Field Service Industry – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Equipment manufacturers eager to capture more of the lifetime revenue stream generated by their machinery sales know that quality product support is one of the most important after-market success drivers. Product support also represents a major share of equipment dealer personnel investment and revenue.

Field service and product support executives need to look no further than the valuable data their machines are producing for the key to unlocking growth in the after-market. Indeed, access to troves of machine performance, diagnostic and maintenance data hold great promise for positively impacting customer service experiences through a more proactive, preventive approach to product support. But having the data is only the start. Sophisticated machine telematics technology and the data it produces often stand in stark contrast to the largely manual, paper-based means of delivering and tracking field service for many construction equipment manufacturers and dealers.

So what is standing in the way of forward-looking construction equipment firms seeking to translate machine data into field service automation? There are many commonplace problems we hear from manufacturers, each presenting unique challenges. Each of the following common problems we encounter also includes a practical planning consideration.

It will also help you plan for the future growth of your system. The key to success in getting your hardware sized correctly is to define your application load correctly and then match it with the appropriate hardware resources. Choosing a hardware architecture that can grow as your business and/or application load grows is also important.

Many customers find this guide very useful and accurate after they have followed all the steps described in the sections.
