Case Study: Audi achieves streamlined production and reduced factory downtime with VMware Cloud Foundation

Audi reduces factory-floor downtime with VMware Cloud Foundation

Audi, a leading automotive manufacturer, sought to pioneer IT-based factory automation and needed a scalable, low-latency private cloud infrastructure to streamline production and minimize downtime. The company partnered with VMware, implementing VMware Cloud Foundation to build its Edge Cloud for Production (EC4P) platform.

VMware provided the foundational solution with VMware Cloud Foundation, creating an on-premises cloud that virtualized Audi's production environment. This allowed for centralized operations and remote management, improving IT efficiency and standardization across the shop floor. The results included a reduced hardware footprint, which lowered environmental impact by consuming less energy and generating less heat.
