From Shopfloor to Scale with GenAI Maintenance & VW
summary
A GenAI maintenance advisor is built as a chatbot that chats with manuals and best‑practice documents, deployed into a VW plant in Portugal in 2024 and moved from pilot to production by end‑September, then scaled from 1 to 8 plants in 3 weeks using the VW digital production platform, Accenture engineering and AWS building blocks. It vectorizes plant documents, cuts meantime‑to‑repair, lowers mandatory cloud costs through careful service selection, and plans additional features and global rollouts to 14+ plants.
