From 95% faster processes to an agentic AI system: SEAT's next step in body-in-white

After cutting time on individual engineering processes by over 95% with Synera, SEAT is applying the same agentic AI for engineering to its most business-critical question: whether a component can be manufactured, answered in thirty minutes instead of four weeks.

5 min  from 2 hours

Proven in production: a body-in-white workflow, now more precise

1 hour  from 42 hours

Proven in production: over 95% time saved on a body-in-white workflow

30 min  from 4 weeks

The next step: feasibility assessment potential, agentic AI system

Cost gap vs. Chinese OEMs

European carmakers face a roughly 30% cost gap against Chinese rivals as program timelines compress, so catching problems earlier is now decisive.

The Challenge

Manufacturability answered too late, after  design locked

By the time simulation confirmed a component could not be manufactured, the design was locked and the cost of changing it had multiplied.

The Solution

Move manufacturability into the design stage

SEAT used the Synera platform to put  specialist AI agents on the manufacturability question during design, so the  answer arrives while the geometry can still change.
