While many automotive AI headlines focus on self-driving cars or flashy infotainment upgrades, Audi is quietly building something more foundational: AI that runs the factory floor.
In a June 2 briefing, the German automaker revealed that more than 100 AI projects are now in operation or development across its global production network. These systems are doing real work from inspecting welds and predicting equipment failures to optimizing logistics and assisting human workers in tasks that range from parts flow to process simulation.
“Artificial intelligence is the game changer in our industry,” said Gerd Walker, Audi’s Board Member for Production and Logistics. “By using it in a targeted way, we are creating a production environment that is not only more efficient and cost-effective but that also meets the highest quality standards.”
