AI Legacy Modernization for Automotive & Manufacturing

Automotive OEMs and manufacturers rely on legacy systems across vehicle production, supply chain, ERP, MES, and dealer platforms that limit scalability, real-time visibility, and the ability to respond to demand and disruption. These systems are often tightly coupled and dependent on specialist knowledge, increasing both delivery risk and cost. Thoughtworks provides an AI-accelerated legacy modernization and application modernization solution that helps automotive and manufacturing organizations transform these systems into modern, cloud-native platforms.

The solution combines AI/works with AWS services such as AWS Transform (Mainframe Modernization), Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS and EKS, Amazon S3, AWS Glue, Amazon EventBridge, and AWS Step Functions to accelerate analysis, extract embedded business logic, and define modernization pathways. Using an incremental modernization approach, legacy and modern systems coexist while preserving system behavior, reducing risk and avoiding disruption to critical operations such as vehicle assembly, supplier coordination, and dealer order management.

Key benefits include faster legacy modernization, reduced dependency on SME knowledge, improved understanding of complex systems, and scalable, AI-ready platforms for production and supply chain operations. This enables real-time visibility, AI-driven decision making, and advanced use cases such as demand forecasting, production optimization, supply chain coordination, and predictive maintenance, providing a resilient foundation for continuous innovation in automotive and manufacturing environments.
