The shift towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is set to profoundly impact Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their supply chains. As vehicles become increasingly defined by software and connectivity, OEMs face a new era of supply chain logistics that emphasizes agility, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. This presentation examines how SDV technology affects each stage of the OEM supply chain, from sourcing and logistics to manufacturing and data-driven optimization. Critical to this transformation is the secure management of software and data flows across the supply chain, with a focus on cybersecurity strategies to counter software-based vulnerabilities. Additionally, the presentation explores how data analytics can be leveraged to streamline logistics and ensure compliance with rapidly evolving regulations. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities SDVs present for OEMs and their suppliers, alongside actionable strategies to adapt to this new landscape.

In this keynote, you will:

• Discover how SDVs will reshape traditional OEM supply chains, with a focus on agile logistics, software-based sourcing, and dynamic inventory management
• Learn more about cybersecurity risks specific to SDV software supply chains and explore proactive measures OEMs can take to safeguard software integrity and protect against cyber threats
• Get a better understanding the role of data analytics in optimizing SDV supply chains and ensuring compliance, from real-time monitoring to predictive insights that support regulatory adherence and operational efficiency
