HP will be deploying Apriso’s FlexNet® at GM’s new battery assembly plant in Brownsville Township, Michigan, to manage production and product quality of their highly anticipated Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric passenger car, currently scheduled for production in 2010.
GM selected HP to implement Apriso’s manufacturing and quality solutions to help institute next generation manufacturing processes in their battery manufacturing operations for the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in electric vehicle.
