Our customer is an automotive after-market organization delivering excellence through a wide range of automotive components. Within a few years of its inception, our customer has been able to carve a niche for itself due to its commitment to quality and disruptive innovation.
Harnessing green energy in an efficient manner can bridge the looming energy gap, especially in the automotive industry. Our customer’s ambitious project had ‘solar energy harnessing’ at its core. In technical terms, the project aims at developing a DC-DC converter for passenger vehicles. The role of the DC-DC converter is to take in the energy from a solar panel and convert it to a voltage component that can be supplied to charge a vehicle’s battery.
The challenge that our customer was facing in realizing this project were manifold:
We got on-board the project due to our extensive experience in both software and hardware design and development using a model-based approach. On top of it, our ready-to-integrate LIN stack and pre-built platform software modules gave us an edge.
We were entrusted with end-to-end development of the DC-DC converter, i.e., software, hardware, and platform software (BSW) development.
The software and hardware teams at Embitel worked on the project simultaneously as we were on a strict deadline to finish the project.
