Embedded Lifecycle Services

Industry 4.0 revolution has steered the advancement in automotive engineering, from being a traditional mechanics-based platform to a software-based, systems engineering platform. Managing the complicated lifecycle of this advanced technology is very essential for its smooth functioning.

Bosch embedded lifecycle services provide a structured, consistent product development lifecycle for embedded hardware and software content, with a user-friendly approach.

A blueprint to reach your efficiency and productivity goals

Addressing the need for a collaborative, connected ALM solution

Use Case - Integration of Requirement Management
Bi-directional traceability of requirements between ALM & PLM

Automotive Architecture

Dynamic customer requirements in the automotive industry have given rise to the need for complex product development environment. This can be streamlined only with a proper automotive architecture.

Calibration Management

We offer an easy-to-use interface and digital documentation of calibration data, to be compliant with industry standards. It features a comprehensive tracking and flow control for both calibrated and non-calibrated assets

Calibration workflow definitions and data management
Implementation of ASAM calibration standards – ODX, ASAP2 and ODS
Calibration tools integration with ALM

Variant Management

With increasing product and variants complexity, every global engineering enterprise demands a cutting-edge variant management solution, to overcome inefficient optimisation of assets/features and duplication of efforts in developing existing assets.

Definition of feature configuration for all features
Effective utilisation of assets across variants
Traceability of software configuration to product level variants

Build Management

An embedded systems development environment integrates both PLM and ALM solutions, in order to manage the complexity of software. The product design strategy of an agile software development lifecycle benefits from choosing the right development environment that suits specific project requirements.

Development of custom automotive build toolchains
Jenkins based Continuous Integration

Failure Management

Failure management is a crucial process, especially for complex development projects that involve development of both hardware and software. Incorporating an effective failure management solution is essential for eliminating the probability of product failures, recalls and for a successful deployment.

FMEA process implementation with ALM
Implementation of early defect detection solutions
Field Defect Management
Elimination of bugs spread across variants
Traceability across both software and product lifecycle

Test Management

A four-phased process that includes

Creation of a basic plan including different set of criteria for testing.

Definition of specific test cases and development of test scripts.

Execution of test scripts and test suites resulting in defect submission.

Analysis on test efforts and test results communicating project status and product quality.

Enabling Test Management with RQM and other solutions

Definition and customisation of comprehensive process model
Development of test cases in line with industry standards including ISO 26262, MISRA
Linking Verification & Validation (V&V) artefacts to requirements for better traceability

Integrating Automotive Test Processes into Test Management

Integration of test automation tools like Polyspace, Labcar, QAC with RQM
