Digitalization in the automotive industry for the future of mobility
Our world is currently changing with tremendous momentum – it’s becoming more and more fast-paced, digital, connected, but also more unpredictable. Today, being flexible and able to adapt to new situations with speed and decisiveness are pivotal to long-term success. Especially in the working world.
Digital Transformation: Shaping our Digital Future
Digital talent and capabilities are key to the transformation. At DRÄXLMAIER, we are prepared.
With our digital transformation journey we are actively shaping our digital future. Digital transformation is not only about the technology. It enables our company to modernize legacy processes, accelerate and increase the efficiency of the workflows, strengthen the security, and insure sustainability. This is how we ensure our long-term success.
In sum, our digital transformation strategy includes several programs that cover all our business processes. Special focus lies on our “Digital Core”, linked to our underlying business processes. That enables us to maintain our strong position in the market and our competitiveness
Integrative thinking across the entire value creation process is what makes our transformation special. The combination of the SAP transformation, the upgrade of our system landscape on the store floor, the transformation in engineering through the introduction of Siemens Teamcenter and the introduction of a global purchasing platform enables us to seamlessly link and optimize our business processes. This not only increases efficiency, but also improves collaboration and transparency within the company.
Our goal: a comprehensive, globally integrated process and system landscape. To reach this, we drive – for example – one of the largest global SAP S/4HANA implementation projects. Across all locations worldwide, at around 60 plants in 20 countries. We now have the unique opportunity of optimizing all the areas of the company – namely people, organization, processes, data and systems – through digital business transformation. For us, digitization is not an end in itself, but rather an inevitable basic requirement to respond to the growing product diversity and complexity in our industry
Only one example, how we shape digital transformation at DRÄXLMAIER. Our projects combine exciting prospects and wide-ranging opportunities for creative minds. Digital transformation shifts the mindset of how DRÄXLMAIER group is creating value for our end-customers, and none of that would be possible without digital empowered employees. You included!

Digital collaboration
New technologies are changing our working world – with tremendous momentum. They merge the physical and digital world, creating entirely new possibilities for interaction and collaboration. Engineers at our locations in the US, for example, are successfully working with HoloLens. This mixed-reality technology fuses intuitive interactions between humans, computers, and the environment. In projects, they make a valuable contribution to increasing efficiency in production.
Our projects are always international. We take advantage of all the possibilities afforded by modern technology to meet digitally, find solutions, exchange ideas, or even maintain equipment.
