Automotive Cloud, OTA-Update-Architectur and development of business models for connected services
Software Defined Vehicle
In the rapidly developing automotive landscape, Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) represent a decisive innovation that combines the flexibility of software development with the robustness of automotive technology.
With the increasing complexity of automotive systems, the use of software to control vehicle functions offers unprecedented flexibility and enables continuous improvement. However, this change comes with some challenges for OEMs and their traditional organization, processes and systems.
With more than 25 years of experience in the mobility sector, we are ideally equipped to support OEMs in overcoming these challenges.
Our offering in detail:
SDV Automotive Cloud Check
We offer a 10-day SDV Automotive Cloud Check, which analyzes and evaluates the most important parameters of the maturity and scalability of your cloud solution for the automotive industry.
This includes the analysis and evaluation of:
- Update technologies used
- Hardware abstractions in the vehicle
- Cloud/vehicle communication technology
- Scaling mechanisms
Workshop on OTA update architecture and LCM
To help OEMs optimize their Lifecycle Management and OTA update capabilities, we have developed a comprehensive consulting workshop. This includes the following key components:
- Assessment of hardware readiness for OTA updates and compatibility with software requirements.
- Evaluation of the administration for the smooth integration of new software components.
- Implementation of blue/green deployment strategies to minimize downtime
- Review of technology and protocols for OTA updates
- Evaluation of the overall DLCM strategy
Business models for networked services based on SDV
We offer a comprehensive consulting package “Design Thinking for Connected Services Business Model” in which our experts guide you through the entire design thinking cycle to develop a connected function. This package includes:
- Development of a ready-to-use end-to-end concept (E2E) for a networked function
- Use of design thinking workshops to identify potential digital business models
- Offering ready-to-use products and services from various areas such as customer experience, networked ecosystems or special EV solutions.
Accelerating the market launch of digital solutions for the car
This consulting service focuses on an in-depth analysis of your development processes. We conduct interviews, analyze code repositories and review CI/CD artifacts to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current development processes.
The following technical and process dimensions are covered:
- Monitoring
- Integration of development and operations (DevOps)
- Update frequency
- Automated detection of anomalies
- Legacy tests
- Test automation
- Release planning
Autonomous driving and mobility-as-a-service are closely related and will come onto the market together.
This report provides an overview of how this will affect the requirements for connected vehicles and influence the development of the software-defined vehicle.
