Vehicle location in the production system - BMW Group Plant Munich

The specialists responsible for product integration at Plant Munich ensure stable processes to deliver defect-free vehicles throughout.

They are also responsible for integrating pre-series vehicles into production to allow a smooth official production launch with series quality right from the start.

“Since the start of this year, our specialists have been using a new app that notifies them as soon as the pre-series vehicle they are tracking reaches a specified point in assembly.

It allows them to locate any car they want – so they can check, say, a particular combination of equipment features,” says Martin Hilt.

The new app not only replaces the manual process but also improves validation.

In the future, it can also be used on series vehicles.
