About ATS Global
ATS Global is The Independent Solution Provider for Smart Digital Transformation. Since 1986, ATS has been undertaking continuous improvement initiatives and manufacturing IT solution design, deployment and 24/7 support assignments delivering tangible business value to customers world-wide.
ATS Global B.V. is proud to announce the release of ATS CM4D v24. ATS CM4D is a world-leading dimensional data aggregation and analysis software tool and the latest version has built on this by allowing automotive manufacturers to analyse their data using business intelligence applications. This powerful feature was introduced in response to requests from customers who wanted to perform big data analysis and present the results through customizable dashboards.
Building on Tried and Tested Foundations
The new capabilities are in addition to the traditional strength of ATS CM4D which is its ability to receive thousands of data points from multiple sources in multiple formats, translate and combine it all, and automatically generate comprehensive reports highlighting results on CAD models of the product.
This approach is relied upon by automotive manufacturers around the world to provide standardised, actionable information, no matter the data source.
As an example of the benefits of ATS CM4D you can see how it has created a quality culture at every level of this electric car manufacturer.
Problem Solving through Innovation
The benefits of ATS CM4D for automotive manufacturers run beyond the standard ability to simply measure what you’ve built. Here are just a few of them:
Data integration and warehousing: One of the key strengths of ATS CM4D is its ability to collect data from disparate sources and translate it into a unified format. This data can come directly from equipment and even from suppliers, improving the integration of your supply chain with a secure digital thread.
Compare product to original design: This should be a staple of any dimensional analysis solution. Having effective real time analysis of the built product allows you to effectively assess build processes. The detailed analysis of ATS CM4D highlights anomalies and trends and allows you to drill-down to the source of the issue.
Predict assembly problems: By comparing the digital twins of components that have been built in different places, maybe different countries, you can carry out adjustments before they are shipped for final assembly. This reduces costs and prevents unexpected delays on the production line.
Reduce issue response time: Collecting data directly from equipment without the need for transcription or translations and then automatically generating targeted reports allows you to respond to issues before they become critical.
New Business Intelligence Capabilities
ATS CM4D v24 comes with several improvements over its predecessors but the most consequential is the ability to access and analyse data through business intelligence tools.
The standard functionality is still present but now the data can also be presented and analysed through the customizable dashboards of business intelligence tools such as Tableau, PowerBI, Crystal Reports and Cognos. It gives the user the ability to view and manipulate the data in ways that are as adaptable as the business intelligence tools themselves.
By combining its behemoth of a data aggregation engine with big data analytics and dashboards ATS CM4D has set a new precedent in dimensional quality software which will enable automotive manufacturers to raise their quality levels to previously unreachable levels.
