"Live" - not just a slogan,

but an energizing reality

aicas Newsletter 02/2023

Dear Reader,

"Live" is the word of the moment at aicas. In recent weeks, we have had many live interactions at personal meetings and conferences such as Embedded World, the COVESA Connected Vehicle Solution Alliance Member Meeting, Hannover Messe, and AutoTech in Detroit. In particular, the significant value of face-to-face interactions resonates very well. This is how ideas are created and partnerships are developed. Read in this newsletter where we will be meeting in the coming months and what we will be talking about.

"Live data" is one of the key topics in our product development and showcases. Our current work very much focuses on extracting value from realtime data: monitoring and visualizing live vehicle data - though not limited to vehicles only - provides valuable insights. It paves the way to more complex analytics, even AI enablement, which is top of the agenda for many decision-makers today. Meanwhile, our industrial use case project for intelligent warehouse data security, which we presented together with SwissBit, AWS, and Kunbus at Hannover Messe, shows how live data and security enhance control and safety in industrial environments.

And another topic is emerging from all these interactions:

successful "platformization" as the key to unlocking significant cost savings. To find out how, read the first article in this newsletter about our perspective on platformization by way of unifying systems or software deployments at scale.

Sincerely,

Johannes Biermann

Driving the Future: Controlling Operating Costs in an Age of High-Tech Automotive Innovation

Reduce Complexity and Cost, Increase Speed Through Platformization

Global deployment and ongoing management of software code and applications is essential to manage complexity, increase flexibility, and reduce operating costs. Consider deploying a single application (such as navigation or vehicle data collection applications) across 10 to 15 vehicle platforms running different operating systems and hardware.

The complexity and diversity of in-vehicle software continues to grow exponentially. The only way to manage this complexity is to limit it. aicas’ response to that challenge: A software architecture that enables software to be scaled across all in-vehicle domains and across manufacturers, suppliers, and operators. Read about our platform solutions in our latest article.

Data Security in Smart Warehouses

A Secure and Integrated Solution from Swissbit, Kunbus, and aicas

You all know these kinds of stories: suddenly there are three trucks with refrigerators in the yard instead of washing machines or goods disappear and no one knows where they are. Modern intra-logistics is nothing without data-driven software solutions.

But how to Use Live Data for Maximum Security?

At the Hannover Messe 2023, technology companies Kunbus, Swissbit, and aicas presented together with AWS a joint project for intelligent warehouse data security. Read here how the secure and integrated solution from industry experts combines automation with the highest level of security.

New: Live Data Demo "Vehicle Monitoring"

Dashboard to Gain Realtime Insights From Live Vehicle Data

Realtime insights from live vehicle data are no longer a vision of the future. The future is now! Speed, position, battery status, vehicle error indicators, fuel consumption, distance traveled, and much more can be monitored live to instantly improve operational efficiency, safety, and performance.

Our new live data demo demonstrates aicas' Realtime Vehicle Dashboard, which integrates, selects, and visualizes live vehicle data with aicas EdgeSuite. The solution combines seamless access to realtime vehicle system data such as vehicle diagnostics, sensor readings, and GPS locations with user-friendly visualization of incoming data streams in the dashboard.

Sounds interesting? Schedule a meeting with our team of experts to watch the demo!

Exiting Events in Summer and Fall

We Will be There. Meet aicas!

There is nothing like direct exchange. It is in face-to-face conversations where ideas are born, partnerships are formed, and knowledge is shared. At the COVESA Meeting at the end of April, for example, we unveiled our Live Vehicle Data Dashboard for the first time.

More exciting innovations await you at upcoming events. Be curious! Let's talk about fleet monitoring with real data without configuration efforts. Or about topics like cloud-based compilation for realtime java, unification of in-vehicle software platforms for the most efficient application management, or fast OTAs using a service-centric and incremental modular approach.
