Our final day in Germany was busy. We started with a really cool visit to HP. We first had a corporate overview from two of their HR people, and learned about how they are managing their people through the economic downturn. They told us about their virtual teams, and how they leverage their own hardware and software to facilitate global collaboration and innovation. We then had a product demo in their customer facility - all of their products were on display. Then, we drove a few kilometers to their European assembly and testing facility for large computer solutions. The factory was very interesting, with a large logistics center and automated delivery vehicles (robots). They used a really interesting staffing solution.
After a quick stop for lunch and souvenir shopping, we went to the Audi plant, and watched them build Audi A6's in their second largest plant. We saw them fabricate aluminum bodies, mainly with robotic welding machines. Cool stuff.
Friday is our last day in Europe before our departure back to the US on Saturday morning.
It was not a big photo day, because photos were not allowed in either factory, but here are a couple of pictures from the display area at Audi:
