Vehicle filling with DXQ software

Previously, at Volkswagen’s Dresden plant, the manufacturing engineering team had to manually configure recipe parameters for every vehicle type at each filling station using an XML-based solution. This method was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also susceptible to errors. Generating statistical reports for system monitoring and troubleshooting was also a tedious and complex task. Today, with the introduction of two advanced software solutions from Dürr, these challenges are history. The new cross-plant software, which utilizes a shared backend with Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant, enables seamless synchronization and sharing of production. This digital transformation has stream-lined operations, reduced manual workload, and improved data accuracy – empowering teams to focus on maximizing efficiency and driving innovation.

All six filling systems at the plant are now integrated with the DXQprocess.analytics business intelligence tool for filling operations. This solution enables users to quickly and easily generate customized reports, offering a clear overview of the filling parameters for each system. The user-defined dashboard can be assembled via drag-and-drop, and monthly management reports can be created with just a few clicks. Regular reports only need to be set up once and are automatically updated each time they are accessed, thanks to relative time filter settings. By analyzing target versus actual values in the result data records, maintenance needs can be identified proactively. The display of specific error rates also allows for targeted troubleshooting
