IFS & Aston Martin F1's automotive ERP partnership

Flexible, intelligent solutions from IFS to drive you forward

At first glance, F1 and large-scale automotive manufacturers may not have a lot in common— one has the luxury of big budgets, the other is constantly tracking their bottom line. One relies on manpower and hand-crafted parts, while the other strives to automate more of their production. But the two industries share one key goal: to innovate faster than their competition. This joint interest means manufacturers can find new solutions when they look to F1 for innovation, putting them firmly in the driving seat of their business

F1 innovation that can also be applied in large-scale automotive manufacturing includes:

• Lighterweight materials—for greater flexibility and fuel efficiency
• Developing complex parts at speed—without increased risk of quality issues
• The use of real-time technologies—to enable change mid-race or mid-production
• Exchanging skills and learnings—from scientists and simulation tools
