Case Study: German Car Manufacturing Company achieves just-in-sequence delivery and uninterrupted production with Advantech

German Car Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

German Car Manufacturing Company faced massive logistics and production complexity from enormous product variety, CKD shipping and just‑in‑sequence assembly, plus a global SAP‑based after‑sales parts program to standardize spare‑parts logistics. To meet tight timing and sequencing requirements they deployed Advantech hardware — Advantech‑DLoG vehicle‑mount and forklift terminals (XMT 5, MTC 6, DLT‑V8310) and UTC series shop‑floor terminals — for in‑house transport, scanning, order processing and operator/tool guidance.

Advantech implemented robust, IP67‑sealed vehicle terminals with optimized WLAN antennas and certified mounts integrated into the SAP spare‑parts system, ensuring parts are delivered on time and in the correct sequence and operators receive real‑time assembly and tool instructions. The Advantech solution reduced errors and downtime, improved parts availability, lowered operating costs and inventory levels, increased parts business productivity and boosted uptime and overall ROI.
