The logistics
An automated system steers the baskets con-
taining the vehicles' individual components
through the factory. The basket 'accompanies'
the corresponding vehicle throughout the
assembly stage. This avoids unnecessary jour-
neys. The chassis, including the engine, gear-
box and exhaust system, as well as the body
are simultaneously mounted on different
floors, being transported to a different level in
a glass elevator, before being finally assem-
bled into the complete vehicle. Once the man-
ufacturing process has been completed, the
Phaeton is once again placed on the overlap-
ping conveyor belt before receiving its finish-
ing touches and its final check.
The event*
An exclusive automobile cries out for the
appropriate stage-management of its deliv-
ery. Customers are the centre of attention in
the transparent factory's emotionally and
technologically impressive discovery area.
Potential Phaeton owners are treated to a
birds-eye view of production via livecam dur-
ing a Virtual Production Tour.
