Next.e.GO Mobile SE manufactures electric vehicles using Industry 4.0 methods which “should be practical and affordable”. The basis for this is particularly high agility in production and logistics. A fully integrated IT system from PSI ensures the necessary logistical conditions and the implementation of the disruptive planning and production processes – and entirely without an assembly line.
"The systems provided by PSI enable us to manufacture cost-efficient small batches. They support a continuous, digital process chain allowing us to take advantage of the benefits of to the fullest extent of Industry 4.0."
Ernest Debetes
Vice President Information Technology and Digitalization
10,000 electric cars are expected to leave the e. GO Mobile plant in the first few years. The company intends to triple the number of units manufactured by 2021: 30,000 vehicles could then be built in the production halls every year. This goal requires particularly efficient and interrelated processes – both horizontally and vertically. Especially since the company estimates only 17 working hours per car. In production, the company therefore no longer relies on the industry standard and rather restrictive assembly line production but works with driverless transport systems (DTS). They independently control freestanding workstations. The resulting changeability of production reduces the investment volume and provides OEM with significantly higher agility. Ultimately, this enables the production of batch size 1 under the conditions of series production. To control production and logistics processes, the company relies on an IT partner that can not only provide the supporting IT systems but also ensures a high degree of integration of all the software components involved.
Deployed software: PSIwms, PSIpenta
Realized interfaces:
PSIwms: PSIpenta (ERP und MES) via RESTful web service
PSI software solutions, together with supplementary IT programs, secure the series production of vehicles. In addition to the ERP and MES suite PSIpenta, the warehouse management system PSIwms is one of the key elements. The processes are integrated from configuration in the web store to production technology on the shop floor. Production is controlled via workflows, which enables agile and adaptable production. The WMS is seamlessly integrated into the planning processes (MES and ERP systems) and provides the needs-based supply and disposal of the transport and assembly systems – especially between the two Next.e.GO plants (by means of kitting and value-added services or the time- and resource-optimized control). PSIcommand also provides an integrated solution for internal maintenance and external field service. PSI personnel deployment planning, Next.e.GO optimizes the deployment of existing personnel. Next.e.GO Mobile now has an integrated IT system that acts as an enabler of agile, state-of-the-art production.
