“At our Nissan Intelligent Factory in Tochigi, we are building the future of mobility. It enables us to not only improve the work environment but also to realise a zero-emission production system. To digitalise our new electric vehicle production line, we chose to work with Siemens, our innovation partner and one of the leading companies in industrial automation and digitalisation, because they have the necessary expertise in this area,” says Teiji Hirata, Corporate vice president, Vehicle Production Engineering and Development Division at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

This enables complete access to the entire digitalised automation process, from digital planning to integrated engineering and transparent operation. More intelligent automobiles require more and high-performing Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in the vehicle – as is the case in the new Nissan Ariya.

The Siemens diagnostic commissioning system Sidis Pro, which has already been deployed in many automobile companies around the world, is implemented at Nissan’s new production line for data writing into ECU and verifying automotive electric components.

Sidis Pro is the advanced vehicle diagnosis and inspection data management system that provides optimal support for inspection processes to enable quality of car production. Sidis Pro manages a wide range of data with server functions, contributing to the digitization of production lines.

It enables maximum flexibility in automotive production as it is easily modifiable depends on the production plan, and the changes can be adapted quickly. The same software can be used for different applications, enabling system standardisation and ensuring that fewer resources perform for more tasks even at other production sites.
