Reviving up efficiency: How Generative AI transformed car assembly for an automotive giant
When innovation drives the future
In the relentless race for excellence, one of the world's leading automobile giants, housing a cutting-edge R&D centre in India, embarked on a revolutionary journey. With a focus on integrating transformative technologies, they were already harnessing data-driven insights to redefine the automotive engineering landscape. But there was a roadblock—manual car assembly instructions were slowing the pace.
The bottleneck
Manually crafted assembly instructions, painstakingly prepared by planners across global locations, posed challenges:
- Time-intensive: The process consumed excessive time and required meticulous training.
- Operational hurdles: Bottlenecks in product development delayed the time-to-market for new models, putting logistics and supply chains under pressure.
- Stifled innovation: With planners consumed by mundane tasks, strategic innovation and product optimisation were sidelined.
In an industry where time and precision define leadership, overcoming these inefficiencies was critical. Enter Generative AI—an innovative ally in streamlining processes, accelerating production, and reclaiming the innovation edge.
The Deloitte touch
Through deep data analysis of car parts and contextual assembly descriptions, we leveraged rule-based and context-driven prompt engineering. Large Language Models (LLMs) were fine-tuned to craft precise, actionable assembly instructions that could adapt to multiple variations, ensuring scalability across global locations.
Accelerating success
Our GenAI solution delivered outcomes that spoke volumes:
