Maximizing speed, exibility and
throughput in production processes
a need for
SPEED
Whether you’re an EV start-up or established automaker, you’re
starting in the same place, with a challenge of turning an EV
concept into a road-ready offering.
To be productive and stay competitive, you need connected,
information-driven operations to produce vehicles as rapidly as
possible, with the lowest possible cost and risk. And you need
agile production systems that allow you to quickly and effortlessly
pivot if demand or technology changes.
There’s nowhere to go but
up in the electric vehicle
(EV) market. It’s estimated
that nearly 6 out of every
10 new vehicles sold by
2040 will be electric.
If you’re an EV battery maker, you have the tremendous
challenge of delivering enough power for the world’s growing
volume of EVs. Accomplishing this requires operations that can:
• Maximize battery production rates to meet exponential
demand growth.
• Use track-and-trace capabilities to consistently deliver
high-quality, safe batteries.
• Adjust on the y to keep up with the rapid evolution of
battery technology.
As you build a giga-scale production plant to meet demand, you
need a smart and scalable production strategy that allows them
to build for growth from the start.

Win the race
to market
To meet demand and get in front of growing competition, you
need to get your electric vehicles (EVs) to market quickly and at
the lowest possible cost.
LAUNCH FASTER
Rediscover what’s possible at the launch stage and accelerate your
manufacturing plans by working with a partner that gives you a depth of
expertise and breadth of thinking.
Rockwell Automation launch- and program-management teams can help you
develop your manufacturing plans in a way that reduces time and risk. They can
provide consultation and design support for factory production planning. They
can also reduce the risk of startup delays and align all areas of your plant by
helping you develop corporate control standards and specications – and then
help enforce those standards with OEMs or other suppliers.
The high-quality data
CONNECT MORE EASILY
Build out your infrastructure in faster and simpler ways with the technologies
like an Industrial Data Center (IDC).
Deploying a server rack can be a hassle, requiring that you work with several
vendors to build and support it. An IDC can help simplify server deployment in
your plant with a virtualized environment. The IDC provides compute, storage
and multi-layer network switching for all your applications in a pre-engineered
and validated package.

The connected EV factory
Connected from mine to dispatch bay, a Rockwell Automation connected EV factory
launches faster, for less cost, with less risk – and achieves optimized production to
the fastest possible timescale.
It starts with smart connected assets, connected to an EtherNet/IP™-enabled network.
On top of this foundation is our Integrated Architecture® automation infrastructure. It replaces multiple
disparate control systems with one common framework to maximize eciency and productivity. It
allows you to use one software platform to program controllers, one protocol to seamlessly send data
across different networks and one software package to congure all your graphics displays.
Layered above are information solutions capabilities – in the FactoryTalk® Cloud, on premises and at
the edge. These capabilities include scalable MES systems powered by AutoSuite™ software, scalable
analytics powered by FactoryTalk® Analytics, mobility and collaboration tools, and connected services.
IN FOCUS: Simulation software
An information solution like our Emulate3D™ simulation software can speed up launches and reduce
start-up risks by using the power of your own machine data. The software uses a digital twin, or digital
replica, of a machine to prototype and test machines before they’re built. This can help you identify
issues in the design stage and optimize machines.
Then, as your launch date nears, the software can help you avoid costly changes and keep the launch
on track with virtual commissioning. This involves synchronizing a machine’s model to its controller to
validate and debug the machine before it’s commissioned.
BUT IS IT SECURE?
Security is a top priority
in connected plants. We
can help you implement
security in a layered and
holistic way to help protect
your intellectual property
and your plant uptime.
