Connected Mobility as an experience

With the help of sensor technology and smart algorithms, a wide range of health-related functions can be implemented in the vehicle interior. These include not only health monitoring and smart functionality to enhance comfort and prevent disease but also diagnostic solutions. With our wealth of experience in medical engineering and the automotive sector, we bring an ideal mix of industry know-how to provide you with the very best support in the development of individual automotive health solutions. What’s more, we possess the requisite certification and are able to develop medical products that conform to ISO 13485.

What we do at a glance:

• Tailormade function development for intelligent automotive health applications
• Identification of innovative new functions driven by our cross-domain know-how in medical engineering and automotive technology
• Development in conformity with product standards for medical devices (ISO 13485)

In the future, vehicles will function as a third living space, alongside the home and the workplace. The advent of new functions will make journeys – perhaps even in self-driving cars or driverless “robotaxis” – as pleasurable as possible. The biggest potential here lies in the areas of comfort, entertainment, and work – the aim being to make best-possible use of journey time in accordance with the wishes of the driver and passengers. At the same time, the creation of a feel-good ambience – by means of smart lighting features, for example – will be a major factor in vehicle interiors of the future.

With our experience in developing new functions and expertise in mastering complexity, we will work with you to transform innovative ideas into cutting-edge solutions – creating not only added value but, above all, a feel-good place for drivers and passengers.

What we do at a glance:

• Customized function development for the cockpit, smart textiles, intelligent seats, infotainment, lighting, HVAC, and many other areas
• Development in conformity with relevant standards and based on agile methods
• Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation and generate new business models
• Platform-agnostic and tool-agnostic consultation and development

Whether to increase safety and comfort, or display onboard information – lighting in today’s vehicles is about much more than just illuminating a stretch of dark road. More and more vehicles now feature smart light functions designed to boost safety or the targeted use of interior lighting to match the desired atmosphere or a piece of music. In addition, light systems to display or project data and information are also an increasingly common feature. This mix of software and sophisticated lighting opens up a whole range of new opportunities. We would be delighted to help you create new lighting functions for the  mobility sector.

What we do at a glance:

• Tailormade software and system development
• Ambience exterior and interior solutions
• Function development (lighting management; matrix and laser lights; light projection)
• Lighting simulation (virtualization)
• Tool development
• Cyber security

Development in the field of Motion & Energy in the automotive context covers various aspects aimed at optimizing the efficiency, performance, comfort and safety of vehicles and their driving behavior. Our aim is to make vehicles more environmentally friendly, efficient, safe and sustainable. We aim to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and decrease dependence on fossil fuels.

Whether Car2X, Car2Car, or Car2Home – connectivity between vehicles and their environment is a growing priority for more and more end users. By enabling the exchange of information between vehicles and the traffic infrastructure (Car to infrastructure), it is possible to enhance the performance of, for example, navigation tools and traffic signal control systems. Similarly, connectivity between vehicles (vehicle to vehicle) can help make traffic flow more smoothly, reduce gridlock, and improve road safety. Vehicle connectivity also brings benefits away from the road. With Car2Home connectivity, it is possible to remotely manage and control equipment back at home such as the heating system or a robotic lawnmower.
