Gogoro collaborates with the supply chain, utilizing MES to create smart manufacturing and digital transformation.


Electric scooter leader Gogoro will partner with Taiwan's supply chain and ciMes to accelerate international expansion, bringing the global electric vehicle and scooter industry into smart manufacturing and digital transformation.

In response to the global demand for expanding into overseas electric vehicle markets, Gogoro is now seizing the opportunity to produce electric vehicle components, motors, and batteries abroad. Due to outsourcing management and manufacturing process requirements, how to assist suppliers in creating smart production lines has become Gogoro’s next challenge.

“MES plays a crucial role in this process for Gogoro. By collecting real-time information from the manufacturing site and constructing a complete production history, MES enhances production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs, aligning perfectly with our smart manufacturing needs,” said Charlie Huang, Director of Smart Manufacturing and Systems Integration at Gogoro. Thus, the MES platform effectively supports production information and quality control, becoming a major edge for future production line expansion.

Jacky Tseng, Product Director of ARES ciMes, also stated that MES is a key driver for the automotive components industry, advancing towards smart manufacturing. It helps address the challenges faced in manufacturing management. To meet strict international manufacturing standards and quality specifications, component manufacturing management must include functions such as production history traceability, quality management, material management and traceability, and real-time work-in-process management. These capabilities effectively control manufacturing processes and ensure product quality, enhancing production efficiency through digital information.

ARES ciMes established a smart manufacturing management platform for Gogoro. The platform integrates the physical and information flows, enabling real-time monitoring of production progress, machine utilization, and status through quantifiable production data. This enhances production capacity and resource utilization efficiency, leading to more accurate decision-making. Additionally, the platform improves production traceability by linking manufacturing process information, ensuring that every Gogoro battery and motor is produced with process parameters and material history, thereby maintaining high product quality standards.

In 2023, Gogoro will lead Taiwan's supply chain in expanding internationally, accelerating its overseas ventures. Collaborating with upstream and downstream suppliers, Gogoro will leverage the MES system to create a real-time, transparent, and digitalized smart manufacturing line, thereby speeding up the industry's digital transformation. ARES ciMes team will continue to provide efficient services, assisting clients in lean management within the electric vehicle sector, setting new benchmarks for the industry.
