Digitizing Frontline Communications: Faurecia's IIoT Hurdle

Technological advances are transforming every aspect of our lives, from virtual personal assistants to autonomous vehicle features. These advancements are moving even more quickly in manufacturing environments, where technologies such as automated guided vehicles and augmented reality play significant roles in our production process. It’s no exaggeration to say the automotive industry is experiencing more disruption now than it has in its entire history. New entrants such as Tesla and China-based Byton are challenging long-established program management processes, and mobility-as-a-service companies such as Uber and Lyft threaten the traditional vehicle ownership model. The next generation of consumers is accustomed to a digital lifestyle with smartphones, social media and connected devices, and the automotive industry needs to keep up with these digital changes.
