The aftermarket in automotive spare parts supply chain in the UK is facing a number of perennial challenges, such as costly warehouse storage of spare parts; high logistics costs due to time-intensive production and shipping; and low-risk resilience due to Covid-19 and Brexit which can delay delivery times from a week to a full year.Digital technologies have emerged recently as catalysts in delivering a radical transformation to global supply chains by leveraging, among others, the power of automation, analytics and intelligence to improve efficiency, visibility, sustainability and resilience. In this project, Autentica is building a web platform to stream digital files for 3D printed car parts straight into machines by combining three major digital technologies to help revolutionise the aftermarket and automotive spare parts supply chain:* Additive manufacturing technologies can deliver made-to-order spare parts on demand through 3D printing.* Distributed ledger technologies, which support independently authenticated transactions between parties based on a privately held blockchain, tracking, tracing promoting trust and protecting intellectual property.* Artificial intelligence technologies, which can exploit knowledge and data to automate and facilitate decision makingThese technologies will be integrated within Autentica's online digital marketplace for 3D printed spare parts providing the following functionality:* 3D model designers store, protect and market their models for aftermarket and automotive spare parts.* Intelligent matchmaking processes support customers in their marketplace searches, ensuring the most relevant models are retrieved based on their requirements.* In cases where multiple products match a request, intelligent supplier selection helps customers decide, based on data-driven supplier profiling.Based on the above outline, successful deployment and adoption of the proposed marketplace will be a major step towards a new, digital aftermarket and automotive spare parts supply chain so that:* 3D-printed spare parts designers can have easy access to customers worldwide, providing their models in a safe manner that protects their intellectual property.* Manufacturers can purchase 3D models to build spare parts using their own additive manufacturing infrastructure.* Manufacturing service providers purchase models to build and deliver spare parts to customers without additive manufacturing capabilities, including part distributors and retailers.The transformative impact of such a digital supply chain for Liverpool City Region will be multifaceted: economic: reducing costs, increasing profits and strengthening local production; social: stimulating the spare parts industry and creating jobs; environmental: reducing waste both in materials and energy consumption and, in turn, Co2\.

英国汽车零部件供应链中的售后市场正面临着一些长期的挑战，如零部件仓库存储成本高;由于时间密集型生产和运输而导致的物流成本高;和低风险的恢复能力，19日和英国脱欧可能会将交付时间从一周推迟到一整年。数字技术最近成为全球彻底转型的催化剂通过利用自动化、分析和智能的力量来提高效率、可见性、可持续性和弹性，从而实现供应链。在这个项目中，Autentica正在构建一个网络平台，通过结合三种主要的数字技术，将3D打印汽车零件的数字文件直接传输到机器中，以帮助彻底改变售后市场和汽车备件供应链：* 增材制造技术可以通过3D打印按需提供定制备件。分布式账本技术，支持基于私有区块链的各方之间独立认证的交易，跟踪，追踪促进信任和保护知识产权。人工智能技术，可以利用知识和数据来自动化和促进决策这些技术将集成到Autentica的3D打印备件在线数字市场中，提供以下功能：* 3D模型设计师存储、保护和营销他们的模型用于售后市场和汽车备件。*智能匹配流程支持客户进行市场搜索，确保根据客户需求检索最相关的模型。*如果有多个产品符合要求，智能供应商选择可以帮助客户根据数据驱动的供应商分析做出决定。基于上述概述，成功部署和采用拟议的市场将是迈向新的数字化售后市场和汽车备件供应链的重要一步，以便：* 3D打印备件设计人员可以轻松访问全球客户，以保护其知识产权的安全方式提供模型。*制造商可以购买3D模型，使用自己的增材制造基础设施制造备件。*制造服务提供商购买模型，为没有增材制造能力的客户（包括零件分销商和零售商）制造和交付备件。这种数字供应链对利物浦城市地区的变革性影响将是多方面的：经济：降低成本，增加利润和加强当地生产;社会：刺激备件行业和创造就业机会;环境：减少材料和能源消耗方面的浪费，进而减少CO2。
