Mitigating automotive E/E systems complexity

In modern automotive and aviation manufacturing, developing lightweight, high-bandwidth, variant-specific E/E systems requires expert communication, coordination and collaboration in and outside your four walls.

To make the modern vehicles, within modern work arrangements, you must have procedures and solutions in place to meet the challenge of increasingly complex systems that must meet more stringent governmental and environmental regulations.

Rising E/E complexity in the automotive industry

The E/E systems engineers for automotive companies are currently working to respond to technological demand for electrification and connectivity, institutional demand for sustainability expansion and consumer demand for wider customization and variation. These demands are increasing product complexity, resulting in E/E systems engineers needing to reexamine how they work to meet deadlines.

Collaboration challenges in E/E systems design for automotive

In this new, post-COVID-19 era, collaboration is much more difficult than it used to be. Employees who were physically on-site are now remote, and some E/E systems actions that were once done by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) have been outsourced to suppliers. While the positives for the previous two trends seem clear: greater flexibility for employees, subject matter experts owning components that they specialize in, the side effect is the same—more difficult collaboration.

Leveraging SaaS to collaborate with automotive suppliers faster

Now, how do you go about developing lightweight, high-bandwidth, variant-specific E/E systems under strict deadlines, more complicated supply chains and workers working remotely? By using a digital cloud-based SaaS solution. With a SaaS solution, people can connect to your system from anywhere quickly and easily. You can also set specific permissions, so people can only access what they need to do their work.

That is just the beginning of what a cloud-based SaaS can do for E/E systems in automotive. To get a full sense of all the ways a SaaS can bring clarity to the current E/E systems complexity, download this white paper.
