Technologies for Digitisation Solutions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry

Abstract

This chapter presents technologies and innovative solution approaches that are available today or will be available in the foreseeable future for digitalisation projects in the automotive industry. These relate to information technology such as cloud offerings, mobile applications, big data and cognitive computing, but also to production technology with robotics, drones, nanotechnology and 3D printing, small electronic devices that can be worn on the body and even playful forms of project work, so-called gamification. The chapter explains the main developments with the aim of understanding the practical applications and potential benefits of these solutions in order to be able to assess their relevance for current and near-term projects for digital transformation. The aim of the explanations is to understand their possible uses and potential benefits in order to be able to assess their relevance for current and upcoming projects in the short term.
