The paint shop is among the most energy-intensive areas of a vehicle plant, dominated by airflow handling and curing ovens.
Engineers built a digital twin to simulate oven schedules and airflow setpoints against quality constraints before applying changes on the line.
Optimised schedules cut energy consumption 9% while finish-quality KPIs held steady, with the twin used to vet further changes safely.
