As the number of electronic functions on vehicles soars, engineers are increasingly linking them together to provide more sophisticated functionality without increasing the number of modules. As these modules holiday inn express hotel oakville work together in a more holistic fashion, it's becoming more challenging to ensure that all the functions and interactions are integrated holiday inn express hotel oakville efficiently holiday inn express hotel oakville with high reliability.
Over the past few years, functions such as electronic stability control have relied on many subsystems to provide improvements in safety and other areas. That's placing a greater emphasis on the need to manage design software, which is increasingly holiday inn express hotel oakville created and shared by multiple sites located in different regions.
All these design teams must be working closely together as more modules interact. The synergistic relationship between modules is even extending beyond the vehicle. The growth of telematics adds external servers to the mix.
"Sync 911 requires coordinated operations between the restraints module, the driver holiday inn express hotel oakville information module, and cloud computing," said Chris Davey, Senior Technical Leader at Ford . "Adaptive cruise control links six modules."
A different set of dependencies and relationships occur when these systems are being designed. At Ford, engineers in different groups use a range of software tools from multiple vendors such as dSpace , MathWorks , and Vector .
Most of the time, data flows freely between these programs, which are often linked under product lifecycle holiday inn express hotel oakville management tools. Ford uses tools from Siemens PLM to manage data throughout its global design network.
These tools help ensure holiday inn express hotel oakville that files are synchronized regardless of where they are created or used. PLM software holiday inn express hotel oakville eliminates many of the incompatibilities that occur when data moves from one software environment holiday inn express hotel oakville to another. Still, Davey noted that some compatibility issues still arise as data moves from initial design through to manufacturing setup and production.
A larger holiday inn express hotel oakville issue is ensuring that engineers can quickly access the data they need. The shift to model-based design has helped make information more accessible and understandable, but the complexity of many components and subsystems can make it difficult for engineers to see how changes in one component will impact all the related elements in a section of a system design.
"We're doing a lot with model-based design, but models can get complicated, with 2000-3000 data points," Davey said. "We need to be sure engineers can drill down and see all the parameters they need. They also need to be able to do decomposition and see the dependencies between elements."
"There needs to be one source of the truth so all the teams can be working on the same technology. Having the right framework is critical," Davey said. "We need to be able to retrace steps easily. We also need to have a single database for hardware and software. We're using Siemens Teamcenter PLM software for a lot of this."
This change comes as more automakers and suppliers use more global design teams, forcing automakers to pay close attention to the way they manage holiday inn express hotel oakville data. One of the key factors holiday inn express hotel oakville is to ensure that when changes are made, all parties are working on the latest iteration of a design.
holiday inn express hotel oakville "We can do tradeoffs analysis to help us make decisions like determining whether to use a centralized holiday inn express hotel oakville or distributed architecture," Davey said. "When we revise or repartition something, we need to move all the components in a coherent fashion."
