Earlier failure detection, faster cooperation
The growing complexity of modern vehicles and the increasing interconnectivity of components place high demands on quality management in the automotive industry. Traditionally, the identification of quality issues relies on so-called “part tourism,” where defective physical components are exchanged between service centers, OEMs, and suppliers. This process is time-consuming, costly, and often inefficient.
Catena-X enables end-to-end, digital quality management by facilitating secure, up-to-date data exchange across company boundaries. By linking field quality data from OEMs with production data from suppliers, a new level of transparency and collaboration is achieved. This allows for the early detection of quality issues and effective monitoring of corrective actions—while ensuring the protection of sensitive company data.
Suppliers in particular benefit from the Catena-X solution. Bilateral and transparent data exchange enhances internal quality assurance processes and strengthens reputation. Furthermore, targeted analysis of quality data leads to fewer defects and enables fast, coordinated action with business partners.
