We are developing roadmaps for the mobility of tomorrow.

The automotive industry is facing major challenges in today's data-driven world. In competition with new players, data is increasingly becoming a decisive success factor. However, many companies are finding that their own data is not enough to be successful in this area. To unlock the true value of data, cross-company collaboration is essential.

We support you in exploiting the full potential of your data. Talk to us about the following use cases:

• Predictive maintenance of machines and facilities
• Development of digital product and process twins
• Comprehensive transparency along the automotive supply chain
• Shared, data-based value-added services, for example in infrastructure (smart city, e-mobility)

The automotive industry is currently undergoing what is probably the biggest transformation in its history. While the focus used to be on hardware, the new generation of cars is inspiring people with one thing above all else: software. Because in the near future, we'll be driving autonomously, electrically, highly connected and with the latest digital features. The customer experience will therefore be largely defined by the software in the car. Customers expect seamless connectivity between the vehicle and its environment, including through Car2x communication and advanced driver assistance systems that enable (partially) autonomous driving.

The software-defined vehicle (SDV) places new demands on vehicle IT - from the switch to a modern domain architecture for the electronic components to the introduction of an agile software life cycle with regular (remote) software updates over-the-air - independent of ECUs or vehicles.

As an industry specialist, msg draws on many years of expertise from working with OEMs and 1-tiers/2-tiers. Our holistic service portfolio includes the design of 

• e/e processes (including requirements management, functional security or automotive SPICE), -

• e/e systems for SDV.Onboard, SDV.Offboard, SDV.Cloud or SDV.DEV.

Feel free to contact us about these topics.

Both automotive manufacturers (OEM) and suppliers (tier-n) are subject to strict standards worldwide, e.g., the UNECE for type approval. In order to obtain this regulatory approval, various points along a company's value chain, from development to aftersales, must process vehicle data. Without certification for the relevant market, new vehicle types, vehicles or components cannot be approved.

Our experts support you with topics such as:

• Digitalization of your homologation process
• msg-UN regulatory assessment
• Introduction of SUMS and CSMS

With the digital shopfloor, automotive manufacturers are setting out to overcome traditional paper-based production and monitor and control all production steps in real time. This allows you to leverage the huge potential of digitalization on your shopfloor easily and cost-effectively.

We are happy to support you on the way to data-based production so that...

• Your production knows at all times when machines break down or need to be serviced;
• Your planning can be automated and not manually based on the experience of a few master technicians;
• You can promise binding delivery dates at an early stage;
• Your machines are better utilized.

Feel free to contact us about these topics.
