Annex B — Automotive (Tanger Med corridor)

Sector annex to Morocco UNS Standard v0.1. Defines naming archetypes for the Moroccan automotive corridor: stamping, body-in-white, paint, assembly, and inbound/outbound logistics. Strategic anchors: Renault Tangier (in Tanger Med free zone), Stellantis Kenitra (Atlantic Free Zone), and the supplier ecosystem clustered around them.


B.1 Scope

Covers OEM final assembly plants and Tier-1 suppliers operating high-volume serial production. Excludes aftermarket and pure logistics (covered by Annex E — Ports & Logistics).


B.2 Enterprise & Site archetypes

B.2.1 Enterprises

learLear seating systems, multiple sites
valeoValeo Tangier, Bouznika

OEMs always use a single enterprise segment globally; site differentiates the plant.

B.5 Mandatory signals — OEE-first

Automotive at this volume runs on OEE. Every Line MUST publish, at the line level (using a virtual line-summary Equipment if no PLC owns the rollup):

performance-pctOverallEquipmentEffectiveness.performance
quality-pctOverallEquipmentEffectiveness.quality
oee-pctOverallEquipmentEffectiveness
cycle-time-s
target-cycle-time-s
stateProductionState

Per-equipment state MUST use the CESMII ProductionState enum: Producing, Idle, Down, Setup, Off. This is the single most important standardization point — it enables cross-plant downtime analytics within an OEM portfolio.


B.6 CBAM exposure

Paint shop ovens, body-shop dryers, and on-site combustion (compressed air heaters, gas-fired ovens) are the dominant CBAM-relevant signals. Stellantis and Renault both export to the EU; CBAM applies indirectly via the steel and aluminum content — but the energy signals collected here also feed Scope 1/2 reporting (CSRD), which is the more immediate driver.

B.8 Strategic notes

  • Renault Tangier and Stellantis Kenitra both run extensive Siemens and Rockwell PLCs; the IIoT Platform Build Intelligence — Open Source Stack 2026 gos7 + EtherNet/IP libraries cover the connector surface.
  • OEMs already operate global MES; the UNS does not replace MES. It feeds the MES while remaining the single source of truth for any third-party analytics, energy, or sustainability consumer.
  • The Tier-1 supplier ecosystem (Yazaki, Lear, Faurecia, Aptiv) is the highest-leverage adoption path: a single standard across suppliers gives OEMs supplier-network visibility they currently lack.
