Berlin, 22.11. 2024.
KL Engineer is thrilled to share that, together with our customer CARIAD, we proudly took home the Automotive IT Team Award in the “Software Defined Vehicle” category! This incredible achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and collaboration with CARIAD. Huge thanks to everyone involved—our team, users, and stakeholders—for making this milestone possible. Here’s to continuing our journey toward innovation in the automotive industry!
Digital Solution for Car Multiverse Integration
The goal of our digital solution was to automate full vehicle integration across the entire value chain (V-model), reducing human involvement while increasing data quality and transparency regarding the product's development status. This aimed to accelerate the feedback cycle from the delivery of software and hardware components to test results within a fully integrated environment on a real test machine (reference vehicle) — nearly in real time.
The digital solution integrates data streams from various internal and external information sources into a Common Data Model. This includes the planning of vehicle functions, management of software versions, configurations, and test execution on test vehicles.
The Common Data Model unites all value streams across the entire development process along the V-model — from requirements to test results — and delves into functions, individual electronic and software components, and various test vehicle prototypes. This involves centralizing data from different tools and providing role-based access to the data. It enables complete management of product variants and their maturity, ensuring a holistic, automated delivery pipeline from dozens of suppliers to testing on the reference product. This accelerates the complete integration of test vehicles and provides immediate reporting, enabling management decisions based on real data.
The Common Data Model enables efficient planning and testing of more than 20,000 product variants and supports over 5,000 users worldwide, reducing the feedback loop from delivery to fully integrated tests from three weeks to three days.
Our solution for full vehicle integration connects over 600 customer functions per vehicle with the detailed implementation of system components and software variants, down to the results of every test drive, in a cloud-based software.
