Automotive and Transportation System: what are the opportunities of digitalization for the industry sector and supply chains
Digitization is radically and profoundly transforming the automotive supply chain, starting with the automobile itself, which is increasingly rich in technology and digital content, from vehicle connectivity to autonomous driving, which is now increasingly current and less futuristic. Not to mention the need to renew the product more frequently and with increasingly reduced Time-To-Market.
The Observatory on Italian Automotive Components 2019, a research activity conducted by the working group composed of the Turin Chamber of Commerce, ANFIA, and CAMI (Center for Automotive and Mobility Innovation) of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, delved into the topic of the “fourth industrial revolution” and digitalization, identifying under this umbrella the industrial use of all those technologies based on the digital paradigm and characterized by being interconnected and communicating. These are technologies that involve not only products and processes, but will involve the rethinking of the organizational and business models of the automotive industry.
Of the 518 companies that
responded to the 2019 edition of the Observatory, more than 55 percent said
that they have already adopted innovative Industry 4.0 solutions (53.3 percent in
Piedmont). While only 6.4 percent of responding companies go so far as to rank
these investments as a business priority, 26.5 percent have already framed them
within their strategic plan, and a further 27 percent have launched
initiatives in an Industry 4.0 key, albeit still not closely linked
to each other. In addition, a supply chain emerges inclined to the introduction of new
technologies related to the digitization of the car. Looking at the impact of
new trends, about 32 percent of Italian companies (35 percent Piedmontese) predict
that the introduction of autonomous driving systems in the next five years will have
positive effects on business competitiveness. 27 percent of Italian companies and 25 percent of
Piedmontese companies identify positive spillovers to their business from the introduction
of new vehicle interconnectivity systems.
Between 2016-2019, moreover, out of more than 150 Italian companies (72 Piedmontese) that
reported participating in the development of new technologies, about
30 percent (24 percent in Piedmont) took part in projects involving the
development of autonomous, assisted driving and V2X connectivity.
Starting from these indicators, the authoritative speakers on this panel will illustrate excellent application cases and draw a medium- and long-term vision related to product/process digitization of the automotive sector and the transportation system more generally.
