Development and Planning in the Automotive Industry

Your challenges and our solutions

CPS and Validation Adapter

Creating networkability for factory plants

The CPS adapter is used to integrate previously non-networkable solutions into the standard world. The validation adapter checks in advance whether the solution to be integrated processes tasks correctly and has the required safety features.

Our Solution

  • Configuration instead of programming for networking in all industries from shop floor equipment and IT to shop floor management systems
  • Integration in model-based solutions for consistent central configuration of
    all solutions involved
  • Full transparency of data through open source

Your Benefits

  • Less digital know-how required – configuration on the shop floor
  • Individual automation solutions are easy to check
  • Consistent standardization despite heterogeneous equipment

Using Digital Artifacts End-to-End and Across the Lifecycle

Digital data consistency

Time-consuming manual remodeling from data is no longer necessary when virtual artifacts are used across data and across lifecycles. 

Our Solution

  • Analyze end-to-end usability in virtual product development
  • Integrate artifacts into continuous digital value chains
  • Integrate third-party models into own chains and analyze IP protection capability during model exchange

 

Your Benefits

  • Cost reduction through reduced manual modeling effort
  • Reduce inconsistencies through reuse and end-to-end usage
  • Digitally linked data basis simplifies automation

Digital Artifacts in Virtual Product Creation

Communication breaches in product development

Develop faster and in a more integrated way with Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Avoid communication breaches in product development and achieve model and data consistency. 

Our Solution

  • Analyze existing models with regard to structure, integration possibilities and uses
  • Evaluate capability for system-oriented and model-based work
  • Derive (short-, medium- and long-term) actions for development optimization

Your Benefits

  • Increased value of development artifacts through reusability of projects and systems
  • Models enable improved communication and optimized interfaces.
  • Enable system-oriented model-based work​

Digitized Product Documentation

Communication breach complicates vehicle development

Data gaps in product documentation complicate vehicle development. Simulations are automated by computer-readable descriptions of manual activities.

Our Solution

  • Continuous digitalization of product documentation in vehicle development
  • Collaborative testing and implementation in virtual reality
  • Standardization and machine readability of technical documentation

 

Your Benefits

  • Description of manual joining instructions is standardized
  • Use augmented reality assistance systems for development
  • Use joining instructions for automated simulations
