Solving the electronic and electric challenge
Automobile manufacturers and suppliers must understand and validate the functionality, timing, and safety of their systems, which is not an easy task.
Electric and electronic (E/E) systems have a number of interconnected systems that rely on each other for functionality. Without visibility, manufacturers may face significant and costly redesign and safety issues.
IBM and INCHRON (Link reside outside ibm.com) have teamed to help address the complexities of E/E systems development.
Making real time right
IBM Rational® and INCHRON provide a model and simulation-based systems engineering solution based on the Rational software platform for automotive systems and INCHRON software.
Developers can detect functional, timing, and performance issues early in design phases to:
- Identify and prevent performance bottlenecks
- Improve system response times
- Decrease messaging delays
- Discover unwanted system interferences.
