Audi's experience in China has transformed its approach to car manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of automation. Initially aiming to showcase its German engineering, Audi learned the effectiveness of integrating robots into the production process. The Changchun factory, bolstered by China's 'Made in China' initiative, benefited from advanced technology and policies promoting local manufacturing. This transformation has made Audi’s processes more efficient and cost-effective, illustrating how embracing technological advancements can lead to significant improvements in production operations.
When Audi set up shop in China, it thought it was going there to show off its German engineering prowess. But over time, Audi learned from China what happens when efficiency, policy and robots come together.
The automaker's operation in Changchun became the pinnacle of Audi's factories, at least as far as automation is concerned. Industrial robots from Chinese-owned companies dominate the production line.
