Get to know the challenges and day-to-day tasks for the Porsche Aftersales department – from repair validation over repair media creation to defining service-time and -package.

With the support of SPREAD, Porsche is gradually building a cross-departmental (aftersales-wide) intelligent CAD/Product-solution that, through its analytics and data enrichment capabilities, digitizes and democratizes product understanding.

Production forecasts are part of everyday life in industrial operations. Until now, however, colleagues in the kitchens of the same companies have not been supported by state-of-the-art technology in the same way as the processing area. Machine learning forecasts are changing that, supporting kitchen teams and creating process reliability. Porsche was able to pilot Delicious Data's forecasting solution last year and is now rolling it out to all sites.

Not only the look and feel of cars have evolved in the past years, but also customer preferences and priorities have changed towards a more sustainable and electrified future. These novel changes not only challenge the existing mobility industry but also affect the whole ecosystem. OEM’s and suppliers have already tackled this ongoing challenge and will share their experiences in the upcoming session.

Participants will gain insights on the role of the car of the future and customer’s preferences and priorities. Further, the panel discusses the car of the future in the automotive industry and their differences between OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers and will give insights about pilot projects with startups from our partners Plastic Omnium, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
