A strike in the automotive industry, particularly one involving manufacturing facilities, can have both positive and negative effects on the auto dealership service industry. The impact can vary depending on the duration and scale of the strike, but here is one potential benefit: Extended Vehicle Lifespan: When consumers delay purchasing new cars because of the strike, they tend to keep their current vehicles longer. This can result in more opportunities for dealerships to provide ongoing maintenance and service, as older vehicles typically require more attention to remain in good working condition.

Automotive OEMs - how can 3.5 seconds save you millions a year? I recently visited an OEM leveraging Kinexon's solutions to correctly identify the VIN for each car moving down the production line. The highly accurate positional data means that workers don't have to manually scan a paper traveler at each assembly station saving roughly 3.5 seconds per station. I needed a little math help but it was explained that saving 3.5 seconds at more than 300 stations on roughly 1,000 vehicles per day is a pretty substantial savings. The benefits are not just increased efficiency! Think of all the paper that will be saved if you don't require a paper traveler for every vehicle and subassembly in your facilities!
