Conference Lead at Automotive Circle Assembly Engineering Insight @ Magna Steyr 2019

From September 24th to 25th, 2019 the Insight Conference of Automotive Circle Assembly took place at Magna Steyr in Graz. Overall topic was 

“Agile and smart: Complete vehicle manufacturing at Magna Steyr”

There were 94 participants from many European and Global OEMs and Suppliers.

The world’s largest multi OEM contract manufacturer produces a wide range of different vehicle models at one location: from the legendary Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the BMW 5 Series and Z4 to the new models Toyota GR Supra and Jaguar E-PACE and I-PACE (Car of the Year 2019).

With the production of vehicles with conventional powertrains to plug-in hybrids and the purely electrically driven I-PACE, Magna Steyr demonstrates that the company masters the agile production of different powertrains on a single line and is thus already successfully mastering a central challenge for tomorrow’s production.

As a highlight of the conference, the Magna Steyr plant in Graz has opened its doors for all participants during the morning of the second day of the conference - an experience providing exclusive insights into the assembly of the Jaguar I-PACE/E-PACE and the Mercedes G-Class production on a guided tour through the plant!

Overall topics of the presentation section were:
- Integration of electric vehicles
- Smart Factory: Nex approaches in digital planning, production and logistics
- OEM-Reports
