VW offers its vision of Industry 4.0.
Fabian Fischer, head of internal processing in VW's Group Research unit for Materials and Manufacturing.
Serious 4.0 work for VW only began in 2013, Fischer said, but it's progressing quickly. The company has finished a prototype car where each part has RFID chips or similar technology for traceability.

Volkswagen 4.0 – the production systems of tomorrow are being developed in the Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden
World first: The headliner for the e-Golf is now being fitted by a robot as standard.
03/14/19Company Press Release
The Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden is continuing to develop into the Volkswagen Group’s primary test location for trialling innovative technologies. In conjunction with the Wolfsburg and Emden factories, the Gläserne Manufaktur is part of a “technical centre” project. The primary idea is to achieve automation of complex work steps within assembly. The first project at the Dresden site is a world first – the headliner for the e-Golf is now being fitted by a robot as standard. This manufacturing step will also be used in production of the ID from the end of 2019 at Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant.
Dr Andreas Tostmann, member of the Board of Management for Production and Logistics of the Volkswagen brand: “We want to achieve a 30% improvement in productivity in the Volkswagen brand factories by 2025 compared to 2018 to ensure our competitiveness in the long term and to make a decisive contribution to improving the profitability of the Volkswagen brand. To achieve this, the factories must become faster, leaner and more efficient. The various technical centre projects in Wolfsburg, Emden and Dresden make an important contribution to this by testing innovative technologies.”
The innovations in Dresden are supported by Volkswagen Brand Planning and Wolfsburg plant engineering. Other projects at the Dresden site include the automated assembly and removal of the car doors and the human/robot collaboration.

Juergen Jaskolla, Manager Digital Production Management at VW and Tobias Siegel, Head of Product Portfolio Management of Startup Apps at Siemens AG talk about the challenges of efficiency losses in discrete manufacturing lines and how Siemens Industrial Edge and Industrial Apps (in this case especially OT Connectors and Performance Insight and its cycle time analysis feature) can create transparency in an easy and scalable way, so that optimization potentials can be pointed out clearly to derive the right actions.
