Teradata Supports Volkswagen Industrial Cloud as Partner
July 23 2020 - 5:30AM
Business Wire
Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the cloud data and analytics company,
today announced that it will be a partner of the Volkswagen
Industrial Cloud.
The Industrial Cloud - which is being developed by Volkswagen
together with Amazon Web Services (AWS) - is an open IoT platform
combining the data of all machines, plants and systems from all
facilities of the Volkswagen Group. Teradata will support
Volkswagen by providing cloud-based data analytics to optimize
production processes and drive productivity increases in the
plants.
"We are delighted to partner with Volkswagen as part of this
open industry platform, joining other leading companies in shaping
the future of digital production," says Sascha Puljic, Vice
President, Central Europe at Teradata. “Our cloud-based data and
analytics solution provides comprehensive data intelligence and
supports Volkswagen in fully leveraging the value of data in
production to increase efficiency and quality."
The aim of the Industrial Cloud is to integrate companies from
the entire value chain of the automotive industry, creating a vast
partner network that shares data and services so that all partners
benefit - including suppliers, technology providers, system
integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs), logistics
providers and manufacturers.
In the future, all sensor data and other information will be
integrated in the cloud-based platform and analyzed with
intelligent algorithms. Relevant data will be made available to
partners in the Industrial Cloud, creating enormous potential for
optimizing production and logistics processes.
To this endeavor Teradata brings its extensive experience in
industrial IoT data analysis, as well as its analytics platform -
Teradata Vantage - which is available on AWS. Data analysis from
the cloud is used throughout production at Volkswagen to, for
example: optimize yield, implement data-based quality assurance and
enable predictive maintenance.
Optimizing Production and Driving Productivity
One initial use case that showcases Teradata’s role in
supporting Volkswagen’s efforts to improve production processes is
analyzing data from welding procedures in manufacturing:
- First, spot welding data and additional metadata are integrated
and analyzed in Teradata Vantage.
- Using analytical models that include machine learning, Teradata
classifies and refines the data based on various quality
characteristics.
- Based on the results, the downstream inspection processes can
be optimized, and required rework can be specifically
assigned.
- The outcome is confident, documented quality of the
manufactured parts as well as increased efficiency of the
production and quality assurance processes.
Another example of Teradata’s future contribution comes from a
set of preliminary projects being explored at the Volkswagen Group:
Teradata was able to identify additional efficiency potential in
production processes, using AI (artificial intelligence). The team
analyzed sequence optimization for specific production plants,
while also developing quality predictions for manufacturing
processes and products.
Such use cases, driven by Teradata expertise in the
manufacturing space, demonstrate the power of integrating data to
elevate production processes and increase productivity.
