David Castilla is in charge of the project, which was completed in just 26 weeks. Using an app, he can monitor the exact location of each part needed to make a car. For the first time, SEAT will receive real-time information on material flow or production material consumption. 'Information that used to take hours and several phone calls is now updated in seconds,' explains the project manager.
200,000 key figures are updated daily in real time in the Control Tower. The car thus becomes a giant puzzle, each component is important. The aim is to monitor every conceivable parameter - from supplier inventories to processes in transport and logistics centers. The prerequisite for this is Big Data. 'Data is our raw material for building digital projects,' explains project manager David Castilla. 'So, if data is not good enough, digitization becomes increasingly complex and lacks credibility. Being aware of this and setting up a clear program to ensure data quality is sufficient, contributes to the success'
