BMW iFACTORY Strategy:
A Leap Towards Future Automotive Production

BMW’s commitment to technological innovation is exemplified by its forward-thinking BMW iFACTORY strategy. On June 23, 2022, the BMW Brilliance production base in Shenyang underwent a major upgrade with the official opening of the Lydia plant, marking the implementation of BMW Group’s iFACTORY strategy in China. This milestone vividly demonstrates the core principles of ‘lean, green, and digital,’ bringing the concept of the “industrial metaverse” to life.

The newly constructed Lydia plant fully embodies the BMW iFACTORY concept, achieving unprecedented levels of digitalization in the industry. Cutting-edge digital systems are extensively applied throughout the facility, including virtualization tools, gigabit 5G networks, and artificial intelligence, making factory operations more efficient, precise, flexible, and sustainable. From its inception, the Lydia plant was simulated and planned in a virtual environment, representing a deep integration with the burgeoning concept of the “metaverse.”

Accelerated Development Through Virtual Planning

Thanks to the assistance of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3D creation platform, the construction time of the Lydia plant was reduced by six months. Virtual planning also helped avoid approximately 50% of engineering changes due to design flaws, significantly lowering construction costs.

AI Simulation Technology: Driving Intelligent Manufacturing of the All-New BMW 5 Series

The all-new BMW 5 Series showcases BMW’s innovative capabilities in research, development, and intelligent manufacturing. BMW Brilliance’s independently developed, industry-leading AI simulation technology elevates intelligence to new heights, marking a breakthrough in both efficiency and precision.

Redefining Automotive R&D with AI Simulation

AI simulation technology is revolutionizing automotive research and development. As an AI-based simulation method, it utilizes deep learning algorithms and data-driven models to virtually simulate and predict performance across various scenarios in automotive R&D and production. This technology accelerates design optimization, enhances safety, and significantly shortens development cycles.

Comprehensive Applications in Automotive Development

From analyzing component durability and strength to conducting full-vehicle safety crash tests, evaluating battery life, and performing fluid dynamics and noise vibration analyses, AI simulation technology is widely applied across multiple domains. Leveraging AI not only optimizes the R&D process but also ensures higher product quality, demonstrating BMW Brilliance’s leading edge in intelligent manufacturing.

Paraverse Technology and BMW Brilliance initiated their collaboration in late 2022. Over two years, they deeply integrated their technologies and processes, with Paraverse’s solutions undergoing rigorous verification. This comprehensive partnership resulted in BMW Brilliance selecting Paraverse’s innovative technology for implementation.
