Graphic Recording for the Automotive Industry

Why are Graphic Recordings and Strategy Images Particularly Useful in the Automotive Industry?

Like no other sector, the automotive industry is affected by significant technological and social developments and changes. Whether electrification, circular economy, digitization, artificial intelligence, global competition, raw material shortages: each of these trends forces everyone involved in the value chain to rethink and adapt their products and processes.

• What risks and opportunities do the technological, economic and social upheavals offer?
• How do we have to transform internally?
• What does that mean for our organization and our processes?
• What goals do we set?
• What concrete measures are needed to drive the transformation forward?
• What legal requirements must be met and how do we do that?

In this state of constant change, a graphic recording or a target image can help to provide orientation.

How is a Graphic Recording or Target Image Created for the Automotive Industry?

Depending on the question, we first develop a suitable basic structure to map the topic. Typically, this is a process flow, a value chain, a product lifecycle or a user scenario. Sometimes you can also find a suitable metaphorical visual language for the problem. Afterwards, questions and answers can be classified together in the picture. The basic structure helps to steer the discussion, proceed systematically and uncover blind spots.

My Strength: Visual Expertise AND Thinking along about the Content

As an industrial design engineer with years of experience in visualizations for the automotive industry, I can quickly and efficiently familiarize myself with the complex topic of new projects.

Examples of Visualizations for the Automotive Industry

I have already been able to support many well-known companies in the automotive industry with graphic recordings and target images. For example, on the following topics:

• Logistics and storage of lithium batteries
• Sustainable product solutions from an automotive supplier
• Awareness campaign on cybersecurity
• Guidelines for agile working
• Processes to meet the requirements of UNECE 155 (CSMS) and 156 (SUMS)
• Visualization of a Production Operating System
• Target images for various departments of the technical development of a truck manufacturer.
• Future strategy of group logistics
• Inbound/Exbound Logistics Planning
• Car workshop of the future
• Interface management during the start-up phase
• Safe behavior in production
