In the last 100 years, the automotive manufacturing paradigm has moved from that of a craft industry to interchangeable parts to the assembly line to lean manufacturing. The next paradigm is all about real time optimization of manufacturing systems and builds upon the foundation of lean. The key enablers are pervasive, low-cost sensing, device intelligence, communications, servo-actuation and simulation/visualization.
