Audi has launched the Edge Cloud for Production (EC4P) project in collaboration with Cisco to create a software-defined factory that reduces hardware reliance. This initiative enhances production agility and cybersecurity by centralizing server infrastructure, allowing for efficient global software updates and production line reconfigurations. The partnership, which also involves Siemens and VMware, has resulted in improved security, cost reductions, and increased overall equipment effectiveness across Audi's manufacturing facilities.
