Comprehensive Overview: EV-AV Platform Release
Presented by Juan Pimental, Principal Cybersecurity Consultant, Omnex Inc.
As the session began, the presenter highlighted the pressing challenges in the development of Electric and Automated Vehicles (EVs/AVs). The complexity of distributed design supply chains, increasing safety and cybersecurity requirements, and inefficiencies in traditional processes have created significant obstacles for manufacturers and suppliers. The EV-AV Platform is introduced as a transformative solution to address these challenges and revolutionize automotive development.
Key Challenges in EV/AV Development
The presenter outlined the following critical hurdles:
- Fragmentation in Development Processes: Standalone IT systems lead to inefficiencies and inconsistencies across workflows.
- Increasing Safety and Cybersecurity Requirements: Compliance with standards like ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 is complex and time-intensive.
- Lack of Reusability: Teams often recreate documentation and workflows for similar projects, wasting time and resources.
- Collaboration Bottlenecks: Miscommunication and delays frequently occur in globally distributed teams and supply chains.
The Solution: EV-AV Platform
He explained how the EV-AV Platform consolidates workflows, ensures compliance, and fosters global collaboration. Here’s how it addresses the challenges:
- Integrated Workflows: Combines over 400 standalone and 200 integrated work products into a unified system, covering.
- DFMEA, PFMEA, Safety Plans, and Control Plans.
- Hardware-Software Interfaces and Testing Plans.
- Built-in Compliance: Provides pre-configured templates and automated processes for ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 standards.
- Reusable Frameworks: Facilitates data and template reuse across projects, accelerating development and maintaining quality.
- Enhanced Collaboration Tools: Offers real-time updates and visibility for seamless teamwork, regardless of geographical location.
