Smart Vehicle Manufacturing (SVM) plays a vital role in the fast-growing market of electric vehicles. A distinctive feature of these New-Generation Intelligent Connected Vehicles (NGICVs) is their software architecture. SVM uses a traditional Mass Customization assembly-line production mode. Unlike simple electric vehicle architectures, NGICVs require more diverse components and parts like traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, but these part shortages lead to serious line-stopping production issues. Building SVM systems based on traditional Mass Customization assembly-line modes cannot solve this problem.
To overcome these issues, Smart Vehicle Manufacturing paradigms that adopt Adaptive Assembly Lines (AALs) are proposed. An Adaptive Assembly Line (AAL) is a fundamentally new assembly-mode paradigm that enables real-time assembly-line adaptation and mass customization of various part configurations according to real-time market demands in Smart Vehicle Manufacturing. AAL architecture drastically changes each stage of the Smart Vehicle Manufacturing assembly process. SVM systems have deployed data architecture supporting these Smart Vehicle Manufacturing paradigms. The developed data governance framework with in-depth data perception enables high-quality data generation for AI-driven Adaptive Assembly Line system performance improvement.
