Case Study: Nissan Europe achieves 100% performance improvement and 24/7 production with Software AG

Nissan Europe - Customer Case Study

Nissan Europe’s flagship UK plant—one of the company’s most productive facilities with 6,700 employees producing over 500,000 vehicles a year—faced growing competition, reliance on manual processes and an aging mainframe architecture that limited agility, uptime and digitalization across manufacturing, supply chain and dealer systems.

Partnering with Software AG, Nissan implemented zIIP Enablement for Natural, Adabas Cluster Services and Event Replicator, NaturalONE and infrastructure monitoring to offload CPU work, ensure high availability, enable real‑time data distribution and modernize development. The changes doubled performance, boosted runtime by 30%, enabled 24/7 production, reduced costs and improved interoperability—positioning the plant for automation, better quality and future adaptability.
