Volkswagen - Factory of the future

The realignment of the Zwickau vehicle plant towards e-mobility will gradually raise automation and efficiency to the latest standards without any impact on employment. The vision is the factory of the future – an intelligent, sustainable, fully networked factory. Digitalization concerns all areas of production, although the effects differ. While the body shop and paint shop are already highly automated, the degree of automation in vehicle assembly will almost be tripled in the course of the changeover to the electric models.
