What We Solve
Common Challenges Facing Automotive Manufacturers
Production Downtime & Bottlenecks
When one station falls behind, the effects ripple throughout the entire production line. Without real-time visibility, identifying root causes becomes difficult and costly.
Disconnected Plant Floor Systems
Production data often lives across PLCs, SCADA systems, spreadsheets, and legacy applications that don’t communicate effectively.
Quality & Traceability Requirements
Automotive manufacturers face increasing pressure to maintain quality standards, document production history, and quickly identify issues before they become recalls.
Automotive Manufacturing
Connected Manufacturing Starts with Better Visibility
Automotive manufacturers rely on hundreds of moving parts, suppliers, machines, and production processes working together. Cybergear helps unify production data, improve operational visibility, and create a foundation for continuous improvement through Velotic manufacturing software solutions.
Whether you’re operating assembly lines, machining centers, battery production facilities, or supplier operations, our team helps connect systems, standardize data, and improve decision making across your plant.
Gain Real-Time Visibility Across Your Production Floor
From assembly operations and machining centers to battery manufacturing and supplier networks, modern automotive operations require immediate access to accurate production information.
Cybergear helps manufacturers:
- Monitor production performance in real time
- Identify bottlenecks before they impact throughput
- Improve operator response times
- Standardize plant floor reporting
- Connect production data with business systems
This is where solutions like Proficy CIMPLICITY, Operations Hub, Historian, and MES provide measurable value.
Manufacturing Software Built for Automotive Operations
Production Visualization & SCADA: Monitor equipment, alarms, production status, and operational KPIs from a centralized interface.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Track production performance, enforce processes, improve traceability, and standardize operations.
Industrial Connectivity: Connect PLCs, machines, databases, and third-party systems through standards-based industrial communications.
Analytics & Continuous Improvement: Turn production data into actionable insights that improve throughput, quality, and asset utilization.
Modernize Without Replacing Everything
Most manufacturers don’t need to start over.
Cybergear helps automotive facilities modernize existing infrastructure by connecting legacy systems, improving visibility, and layering modern analytics and visualization tools on top of proven production environments.
This approach reduces risk, shortens implementation timelines, and delivers faster ROI.

“Having reliable software systems to control our output is very important. We made our first implementation of this technology in China. Then we brought the technology to Sweden, used the learnings from implementing MES in our China plant and challenged ourselves to improve how we work, prioritize and bring the solutions to production. It is an interesting journey and it is far from finished!”

Drive billions in operational profit
Ultimately, smart automotive manufacturers have the potential to increase productivity by 30% from 2023 annually, according to Capgemini research. That will result in an additional $160 billion in productivity gains industry wide, which translates to $5 billion for each of the top 10 automakers. But automotive manufacturers can only realize these gains if they take the right steps in a digital transformation journey and modernize their industrial software capabilities.

Factory Transformation
Smart Digital Transformation Yields Five Powerful Outcomes
1. Deliver New Vehicles Faster
Velotic Software automotive solutions offer OEMs and Tiers the ability to add agility and standardization to manufacturing system designs. Included in the Proficy for Automotive solution is the ability to model their lines using reusable classes and objects. These classes and objects support traditional controller connections as well as other needed IT/OT connection types such as MQTT, SQL, File and others. The Velotic Software Solution combines many features important for OEMs such as Active Update SCADAs, material routing systems, an Enterprise Data Model, Centralized configuration, deployment and monitoring. These features allow OEMs and Tiers the ability to quickly deploy manufacturing systems that deliver optimum performance and analytics.
Proficy for Automotive allows you to add Agility and standardization to your manufacturing system designs and handle any new product delivery requirement. These systems are built on an Enterprise Data Model that provides one version of the truth for the entire plant or organization.
2. Seamless Upgrade-to-Deployment Experience
Proficy for Automotive also includes an Active Update function for its Cimplicity SCADAs that will allow the developer the ability to update existing systems seamlessly with no downtime. This feature allows SCADAs and coming soon, Tracker RCO material routing Active Updates as well. These features allow you to deliver systems that provide for minimal downtime for new systems and upgrades making them future proof.
Also available soon is containerization for web applications. So, most UI’s, MES, SCADA Configuration, Historian and other applications will become containerized for both on-premises and cloud-based deployments. These features enhance manufacturing agility to create a rapid deployment experience.
3. Standardize & Streamline Apps and Content
Reduce the number of custom application platforms you support and unify delivery of custom applications with the Proficy Operations Hub module of Proficy for Automotive. This low code/no code web-based UI platform can standardize and streamline your manufacturing application content and improve your operator’s experience. Whether you build your application in Proficy Operations Hub or simply host your custom content using the web socket SDK to handle live data, Proficy Operations Hub provides a standard UI platform for your manufacturing operation. Proficy Operations Hub will unify your operator’s experience and provide a common security mechanism to ensure your cyber security.
Proficy for Automotive also includes a comprehensive MES solution that allows you to manage efficiency, quality, product management and production. These built in applications save you time and money as they are configured applications, not custom developed so they don’t need a separate team to maintain custom code.
4. Modernize infrastructure with Cloud & Mobility
Complete your manufacturing continuity plans with a cloud-first strategy by moving your manufacturing system designs to the cloud for safe keeping along with your manufacturing information. Proficy for Automotive offers you the choice to work on-premises or in the cloud. Proficy for Automotive is used to put centralized manufacturing systems designs in the cloud along with manufacturing data and analytics. Non-time sensitive SCADAs and user UI’s may also find their way to the cloud. The choice is yours. Either way Proficy for Automotive offers you the choice to modernize your systems on-premises and in the cloud with mobile first UI’s.
5. Optimize your Operations with Analytics
With the standardization that comes from moving all manufacturing system designs in standards-based objects and classes you now have a set of uniform digital twins for each of your individual manufacturing equipment class types and systems. This uniformity with its standardized approach to IT/OT allows for consistency and accuracy in analytic correlations and capability analytics not possible before.
Begin with experiments at individual plants or at your manufacturing Center of Excellence using the Proficy C-Sense analytics module within Proficy for Automotive. Once corollaries are known you can institutionalize and deploy the solution across the enterprise.
