  • Inventory management: This software helps to manage the inventory of automotive parts and materials. This can include tasks such as tracking inventory levels, identifying stockouts, and forecasting demand.
  • Quality control: This software helps to ensure the quality of automotive parts and vehicles. This can include tasks such as testing parts, tracking defects, and implementing corrective actions.
  • Manufacturing execution: This software helps to control the manufacturing process in real time. This can include tasks such as monitoring the status of production orders, tracking the progress of work orders, and issuing alerts.

The choice of automotive manufacturing software will depend on the specific needs of the business. There are a number of other software tools that can be used in the automotive manufacturing industry.

CAD software: CAD software is used to create 3D models of car parts and assemblies.
CAE software: CAE software is used to simulate the performance of car parts and assemblies under different conditions.
MES software: MES software is used to collect and track data from production machines and processes.
