Automotive & Transportation

Technology has made a huge impact on transportation industry with highly connected and networked cars, trucks, humans and other sensors & data (Ex: weather forecasting, traffic conditions). The way we manage our travel or transportations has changed tremendously over the past two decades. GPS connected, map driven travel management is so different from how we travelled few years back.

The transportation and delivery industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological advancements and innovations. The concept of the ‘driverless car’ is steadily progressing toward becoming a reality in the near future, while drones and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are increasingly being adopted for deliveries. These developments mark the dawn of a new revolution in transportation and logistics. In just a few years, the industry will look significantly different, reshaped by cutting-edge technologies.

Key Enablers of this Revolution:

• Object Detection and Tracking: Technologies like TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition), blind spot detection, vehicle detection, and collision warning systems are at the forefront of ensuring safety and efficiency.
• Platform: Advanced sensors such as cameras, RADAR, and LiDAR, along with AUTOSAR and OD (Object Detection) drivers, form the backbone of these systems.
• Control: Sophisticated control software ensures seamless operation and integration of these technologies.
• Processing: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) powered by tools like Caffe, TensorFlow, and Torch enables robust data processing and decision-making capabilities.

Our expertise in mechanical design spans both interior and exterior vehicle components, ensuring precision and performance. For interior systems, we specialize in Instrument Panels (IP), seat belts, door panels, side panels, doors, pedestrian protection mechanisms, and various interior fittings. On the exterior front, we focus on truck lids, bumpers, and roof systems.

We provide end-to-end support across the entire product lifecycle, from architecture, concept development, and component development to change management, supplier and project management, and series design. Additionally, we offer task-level services such as focused production support, ensuring efficient execution of specific project requirements. By combining innovative approaches with practical expertise, we deliver solutions that are reliable, cost-effective, and tailored to meet the dynamic demands of the automotive industry.

IOT will find many implementations in transportation and logistics. With IoT, embedded sensors in transport vehicles and containers can capture and share real-time data. This can be connected to a warehouse system.

Digital innovations can bring about a huge advantage to Automotive & Transportation industries if implemented well. Data from equipment and production assets can be streamed from sensors to a central repository using industrial communication protocols and gateways. Other necessary information from ERP and MES systems, together with manufacturing process flows, are integrated into the central data. Then, predictive analytics algorithms are applied to provide insights on equipment health and maintenance planning, thereby reducing downtime and unplanned shutdowns or disasters.
