Abstract [sv]

Den fjärde industriella revolutionen har medfört en radikal förändring av produktionsprocesserna inom fordonsindustrin. Digitalisering börjar spela en allt större roll för företagen, och om de misslyckas med att hålla jämna steg riskerar de att bli utkonkurrerade av andra företag. Denna studie undersöker potentialen hos industri 4.0-teknologier att minska de tre största kostnaderna inom fordonsindustrins tillverkning. Fokus ligger på att förstå fordonsindustrin och att förutse framtida behov och framsteg. Genom omfattande litteraturöversikter och intervjuer med experter inom branschen utforskar detta arbete rollerna för olika industri 4.0-teknologier, såsom Big Data, sakernas internet (IoT) och autonoma robotar, i att effektivisera fordonsproduktionsprocesserna och därmed minska kostnaderna. Våra resultat visar att dessa teknologier inte bara ökar den operativa effektiviteten utan även kraftigt minskar produktions-, omkostnads- och arbetskostnader. Våra resultat tyder på att de tre största kostnaderna inom fordonsindustrins tillverkning är arbetskostnader, tillverkningsomkostnader och kapitalutgifter. Integrationen av dessa teknologier lovar inte bara en minskning av tillverkningskostnader utan också en förbättring av kvalitet och produktionstakt inom fordonsindustrin. Rapporten diskuterar utmaningarna och möjligheterna med att implementera dessa teknologier, och ger en balanserad bild av potentiella framtida förändringar inom fordonsindustrin som drivs av industri 4.0.

Abstract [en]

The fourth industrial revolution has brought a radical shift in the production processes in the automotive industry. Digitalization is starting to play a larger role for companies and if they fail to keep up with their work, they risk being outcompeted by other companies. This study investigates the potential of industry 4.0 technologies to reduce the three major costs of automotive manufacturing. The focus is on understanding the automotive industry and projecting future needs and advancements. Through comprehensive literature reviews and interviews with experts within the industry, this work explores the roles of various industry 4.0 technologies, such as Big Data, the Internet of Things, and autonomous robotics, in streamlining automotive production processes and therefore reducing costs. Our findings indicate that these technologies not only enhance operational efficiency but also substantially reduce production, overhead, and labour costs. Our findings suggest that the three largest costs in automotive manufacturing are labour costs, manufacturing overhead costs, and capital expenditures. The integration of these technologies promises not only a reduction in manufacturing expenses but also an improvement in quality and production speed in automotive manufacturing. The report discusses the challenges and opportunities of implementing these technologies, providing a balanced view of potential future shifts in automotive manufacturing driven by industry 4.0.
