Volkswagen Group uses AI on its AWS-based Digital Production Platform across factories
…y cloud” designed to support automotive manufacturing – for another five years. Volkswagen uses the DPP to deploy AI and cutting-edge IT systems across its global production sites. This makes production more flexible and faster, reduces IT costs, and helps bri…
Description
Volkswagen and AWS extend their collaboration on the Digital Production Platform (DPP), a 'factory cloud' used to deploy AI and IT systems across production sites; 43 sites are connected. The source describes AI use cases including KI4UPS for assembly-line software deployment, computer vision for quality control built with Amazon SageMaker, and AI-based electricity optimization at the Poznań plant, where energy costs are stated to have fallen by 12 percent. The Group is stated to use more than 1,200 AI applications.
