Our range of services for the automotive industry
Design: As soon as the development process begins, our design team is ready to start. We implement the design requirements, develop the first ideas and studies, and visualise these in a design model of the vehicle on a 1:1 scale.
Concept phase: We transform the design language into a vehicle concept that is ready for series production, taking into account all legal and customer-specific requirements and all production parameters.
Prototype phase: Our design modelling and rapid technologies experts implement this production-ready vehicle concept in the form of design and functional prototypes. In doing so, we not only use classical CAD data generation for visualisation and simulation but also apply methods of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
Development phase: We use state-of-the-art development methods, follow the DevOps (Development Operations) approach for software and our experts develop algorithms for neural networks and machine learning. The more complex the projects become, the more frequently we apply agile development methods.
Production phase: We transfer the development phase into production processes, while taking the production requirements into account. We plan the production processes and support our customers in implementing them. Our engineers also accompany the start of production in the factories by providing launch support.
