About | Innovating Automotive Technology

Aptiv PLC, an Irish-American automotive technology leader, emerged from Delphi Automotive Systems to revolutionize the automotive sector. As a pioneer in integrating vehicle brain and nervous system technologies, Aptiv stands at the forefront of developing software-defined vehicles that set industry standards worldwide.

Challenge | Overcoming Data Silos in Global Manufacturing

Aptiv faced significant challenges in managing its extensive manufacturing operations due to data being siloed across 74 servers worldwide. This fragmentation resulted in substantial inefficiencies, as employees needed to access specific servers within certain plants to retrieve necessary production data. The complexity of obtaining a comprehensive view of production metrics was a time-consuming process that hindered operational efficiency and decision-making.

Solution | Implementing Liferay DXP for Unified Data Access

To address these challenges, Aptiv implemented Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP), creating a global manufacturing intelligence portal, Aptiv Intelligence. This platform was designed to consolidate all production data into a single accessible location, enabling over 10,000 employees at various operational levels to access real-time manufacturing intelligence seamlessly.

Implementation | Streamlining Data Accessibility and Security

The deployment of Liferay DXP involved integrating various data sources into a unified portal that offered customized dashboards and real-time production data visibility. This solution not only facilitated immediate access to essential data across different devices but also ensured robust security and personalized content delivery based on user roles and permissions. The implementation focused on enhancing the user experience by providing targeted notifications and efficient data retrieval functionalities.

Outcome | Significant Enhancements in Manufacturing Operations

The introduction of Aptiv Intelligence significantly reduced downtime and improved manufacturing efficiency, leading to notable cost savings across global operations. The ability to quickly access consolidated data from any device transformed how employees interacted with production information, drastically reducing the time spent on data retrieval from hours to seconds. This enhanced access to real-time data allowed employees to focus more on strategic tasks rather than data collection.

Conclusion | Setting a New Standard in Automotive Manufacturing

Aptiv's successful integration of Liferay DXP has set a new benchmark in the automotive industry for how technology can enhance operational efficiency and data accessibility. The platform’s scalability ensures that Aptiv can continue to adapt and expand its capabilities to meet future demands, supporting the company’s long-term growth and innovation strategies.

“We now have a platform we can build on and grow with for the next couple decades.”
