zenon - all the key figures at the press of a button at Volkswagen's plant Emden (Germany)
Modern information management at Volkswagen plant Emden
A streamlined production system is based on all the relevant key figures for production and performance always being available, and on production being standardised to the greatest possible extent. At Volkswagen in Emden, zenon is responsible for transparency in assembly, increased productivity and greater plan availability. Thanks to the zenon-based assembly information system, the maintenance engineers benefit from instant access to all production-related information and key figures.
zenon features all the modern technology that a car manufacturer can possibly ask for. In the assembly process at Volkswagen's Emden plant the software is now responsible for a total of four assembly shops as well as for communication with high level and low level systems, for the entire flow of information in the assembly plant and for preparing all the data for use in a high-performance, effective information system. An important evaluation criterion for zenon was its use of different controllers and its extensive integration ability.
The Volkswagen plant in Emden has a daily capacity of 1,200 vehicles, and has produced more than 9.5 million vehicles since the plant was opened in 1964. The Passat Limousine has been built in Emden since 1977, and the Passat Variant is only built here. The Emden site has been the leading plant in the world for this successful model.
