MOBILITY OF THE FUTURE – USING INSTEAD OF OWNING WITH #EDAG #CITYBOT. According to the World Economic Forum, two thirds of all people will be living in cities in 2050. In megacities with 10 million inhabitants or more. Across the globe, there are already 36 megacities, including New York, Moscow and London. This rapid growth could result in the essential infrastructure being unable to keep up, threatening cities with collapse, as local public transport, electricity, water supplies and waste collection become overburdened. We can all call to mind images of completely overcrowded subways or interminable traffic jams, with endless streams of vehicles every day trying to make their way along smog-filled, congested roads. In Madrid, for example, 80% of the total city area is taken up by driving or parked cars. The impact on people and the environment is immense. To counter this, urban and transport planners are focusing on “Smart Cities” – cities that, with the help of digital technologies, are to become more environmentally friendly, offer greater sustainability, mobility and safety, are more economical and quite simply more life enhancing. The term Smart City therefore stands for all-round development concepts for the city of the future. With the help of scenario technology, #EDAG has been looking into the famous crystal ball for you, and, on the basis of future-oriented influence parameters, forecasting how changes in society, politics or sociology, for instance, but also in technology might change the future, and predicting what developments can be expected in the next 5/10/15 years. It goes without saying that, as experts in integrated vehicle development, our chief interest is in the mobility of tomorrow. For the #CityBot, we combined our engineering competencies in the fields of vehicle engineering, electrics/electronics and production solutions.

++ This is Not a Post for Sympathy, But a Crucial Reminder that taking care of ourselves should always be priority number one. ++ Last December, I arrived in Łódź for business in the early hours of the morning, only to be hit by severe tooth pain. The kind that makes you rush to the emergency room, desperate for relief. Little did I know, this was just the beginning. Back in Romania, where I was having my "work abroad" stint, my partner took me to the dentist. What we discovered was far more serious than I could have imagined: a severe issue with my upper jaw that, if left untreated, could lead to facial collapse. The reality of this hit hard. I had to undergo surgery, and the process is still ongoing. Just this Monday, I underwent another procedure. Now, I find myself living, working, and traveling with a swollen face and temporarily missing a frontal tooth until the end of the month. This experience has taught me a crucial lesson: taking care of ourselves is non-negotiable. As someone with dental phobia, I realize my fear could have put me in an even tougher situation. Ignoring our health can have serious consequences, and it's a stark reminder that we must always prioritize our well-being. So just just keep this in mind; in our fast-paced lives, it's easy to put off those check-ups, to ignore that persistent pain, or to let fear dictate our actions. But we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to stay on top of our health. Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity. Stay healthy, stay proactive, and remember: your health is your most valuable asset. 💪💼💖 #HealthFirst #SelfCare #ProactiveLiving #PersonalExperience

Representing Daimler Truck AG at the Future FINANCE Festival in Düsseldorf yesterday with Katrin Bußmann! My three key takeaways from several interesting speakers: 💡AI may replace a lot of tasks in finance, but soft skills and human interaction can hardly be replaced. Therefore, improving those skills pays off in the future ✅ 💡Stereo-typed thinking and labeling are in the way of a diverse workplace. Heterogeneous teams typically perform higher ✅ 💡Actively approach successful professionals in your network to ask for guidance and advice. Most of them have been in the same place and will be happy to see others succeed ✅ #FFF2024 #finance #futurefinance #keylearnings #careeradvice

#SDV and #AI in Automotive. My takeaways 👇 These were the main topics at the #automotivesoftwarestrategies conference. > Mastering complexity is a challenge for OEMs, Tier-1 and everyone else > BTW: It was perceived that there is no longer a strong distinction between OEM, Tier-1 and everyone. Everyone can take every role. > Everyone needs access to the same information and needs to collaborate. > Reuse of #software is still a dream. Many people recommend reuse. Only a few can demonstrate success reuse. > Shift-north: functions will be moved from ECUs to Zone Controllers to HPC to the cloud. > Shift-left: you can gain a lot of benefits by doing things earlier in the development process. This was formerly known as "front loading" 🙄 > OpenSource is not for cost savings, but for complexity management. > 85% of software is non-differentiating. Puh. > All bigger systems use #qnx, #android and/or #linux. #Autosar will only survive in small ECU and on safety islands 🏝 > There are many consortia, that want drive SDV. Too many? > time-to-market is a big issue for all players > #GenAI can play an important role in software development. There are many ideas on how to support development teams: reverse engineer requirements, write code and documentations, check consistencies, recommend corrections, find & combine information, generate test cases > with RAG globally available LLMs can be combined with local & domain knowledge Please write 🖊 a comment on your view 👁‍🗨 on #SDV and #AI in automotive software development.

Have you heard of the saying "Shift left and stretch right" in automotive? It's an interesting time and age to live in, where the traditional practices, processes, and tools used in automotive have to change to meet the regulatory demands and rapidly changing consumer demands. OEMs are having to bring better products with greater complexity than ever before, faster to market, while making it cost-effective for the end-user. For example, bringing dependable EVs to market and making it affordable is going to be the key. Shift left, with the right simulation solutions and practices can help OEMs build their products Right First Time, reducing the need for costly prototypes and physical testing later in the product lifecycle. This approach enables faster time to market and lower costs without sacrificing quality. As an engineer, I've always been cautious about compensating physical testing with simulation. However, simulation tools aided with the right AI solution allows you to discover all the relevant testable areas in a multi-dimensional space, which means as an engineer you can focus on areas that matter and stress test those areas. Stretch right, is personally a very interesting space for me having spent time in the design / delivery of connected use cases like SOTA, Predictive diagnostics, Breakdown avoidance, Features over the air etc. It is to be able to update the vehicles after they are in the hands of the customers. This gives tremendous opportunities for companies to have a long-standing relationship with their customers, making sure that they benefit from the latest software developments simply by pushing those updates over-the-air. Shift left or stretch right or both, the common element or challenge is handling data. While there are several PLM tools providing the ability to create a seamless digital thread to enable digital transformation, ensuring an optimized use of this data is still a big challenge. Companies need to look out for good engineering AI solutions that enable this optimization. Do you share a similar thought? I'd love to hear from you and also learn the challenges you are facing in your digital transformation journey. Just drop me a message :-) #sdv #sustainability #productdevelopment #augmentedintelligence

My learning from the post of Albert Pujol is, that unfortunately companies in the #automotiveindustry do not fully understand, what the potentials of #artificialintelligence could be specifically in operational areas of their businesses. Current discussions and informations are circulating almost entirely around Generative AI and LLM's. Generative AI is just one (important) part within the world of AI. Other topics like Deep Learning, Machine Learning, NLP etc. are (almost) being left out. And I agree with Albert Pujol: what are 10.000€ to 30.000€ worth compared to the potential benefits that can be created? AI-based digital assistants (Digital Colleagues) can also be a solution, which does not require a 'big investment' and can make a huge difference on improving performance. You need an example from operations? 60% cut in throughput time (cutting the the time, where no value has been added to the product) 50% cut in work-in-progress (means 'inventory' - means 'improving cash') 110% increase of value added time in production process => liquidity/cash improvement Overall result: cutting the number of extra shifts less temporarily workers needed => EBITDA-Improvement Do you need more? Purchasing, Supply Chain Mangement, Sales..... If anyone is interested in details - send me a DM #automotivesupplier #aiinbusiness #transformation #digitalcolleagues
