The system is even able to detect errors that are not perceptible to the human eye. Data gathered this way also gives valuable insights into the precision of previous paint processes. These can be continuously optimized by identifying causes of error and avoiding rework. The system is a textbook example of applied digitalization in the BMW Production System (Big Data Analyses).
