The 2021 season is full of challenges and opportunities

It was incredibly important to share information and access vehicles with team members waiting at the factory side. Heavy-loaded vehicles normally used in the factory, such as the CIS drawings, now have more track-side access thanks to Citrix. During the test, the mechanics on the runway line; For the first time, they can assemble new car parts as a whole, analyze and analyze BDT models live and in real time, and see exactly how new parts will be assembled. This access provided by Citrix incredibly helps the team to pull heavy data and run it remotely. In this way, mechanics and engineers, who can directly see the three-dimensional car model, can work faster and more efficiently.
