​BMW Dingolfing plant turns to modular systems to simplify assembly

BMW factory

BMW’s Plant Dingolfing is integrating automated modular production technology into production of chassis components, boosting manufacturing flexibility.

Waiting times are eliminated because the most time-intensive variant no longer dictates the cycle for all subsequent components. This increases flexibility in volume planning for the respective derivatives and also facilitates the integration of new variants into existing production processes because, if necessary, only individual stations need to be replaced or adapted.
