Digital assistant for manufacturing engineers
Bring the digital assistant into the day-to-day of a Volkswagen manufacturing engineer. How could a digital assistant help an engineer plan a new assembly line? Use speech, augmented reality / virtual reality (AR/VR), chat-bots or any other technology according to your assessment, to design a digital assistant to help improve manufacturing engineering work processes.
Master the maze of automotive factories
The Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, is covers close to 6,500 m2. Valuable equipment can often get lost or lost track of as it gets moved between different sectors in the factory. Use Internet of Things (IoT) or any other technologies you wish to design an application to help Volkswagen employees keep track of valuable equipment inside the factory.
Visualize the Volkswagen factory from afar
VW has many factories all over the world. How can we best visualize a remote factory site to help make important decisions from a distance? Use AR/VR or any other technologies you wish to design an application to help Volkswagen employees get oriented.
