Vision of the integrated enterprise: integrated product & process design
World's first fully integrated, modelbased E/E-platform development
The Story
The development team at CTCS (Chery Technical Center Shanghai) consisted of 15 people. Including us. With such a small team we built the E/E-system for the new EXEED TX from scratch in about 2 years.
We supported the development with our E/E-engineering and integration platform ESCAPE and our development method called „Virtual Solution Design“.
All data from previous common development processes such as spreadsheets and text files have been transformed into ESCAPE. From requirements and features down to the ECUs. We developed models and libraries and enabled automatic generation of data, documents and diagrams.
The Task
Support in the development of a new E/E-platform for all future vehicles from CHERY with integrated, modelbased product and process design and the help of our E/E-engineering and integration tool ESCAPE and our method "Virtual Solution Design".
For the first time ever the E/E-system
of a whole new vehicle platform has been
built from scratch
completely integrated and model based
Model based E/E-system architecture design of a new vehicle platform from feature design down to production data

The Complexity Trap.
ESCAPE it.
OEMs currently face the biggest change in the automotive history since the introduction of the Motronic in 1979.
From a single Combustion Engine Control Unit in BMWs 732 to an always connected electric car, developed function oriented instead of component bound, software driven with frequent over-the-air-updates and the vision of full self driving.
These changes open the door for new business models and opportunities, but they also force the OEMs to change the way they develop the system architectures and components needed to enable the cars to be adaptable, but still safe.
Thus the constant evolution of engineering is beyond question.
But the transformation to a fully digital, model based engineering must be accompanied by the transformation of its counter part on the enterprise side – the integrated enterprise.
ESCAPE THE COMPLEXITY TRAP
Get into control of change with a reference model that covers both the product as well as the process.
5 STEP PROCESS to
Integrated Modelbased Engineering
1
Integrated Process Design
Transform your process without risks. Meet todays challenges, make it competitive and equipped for the future.
We support your transformation with the most innovative and successful methodology "Virtual Solution Design" and the tools you need for authoring and integration.
Transformation
We know how to build the bridge between traditional engineering and model based, integrated design. Benefit from this experience in methods and tools.
Integration
The integration of all the data and tools is the key to reduction of costs, effort, time and risk in E/E-Engineering. We provide the platform needed for integration.
Automation
30 years of vehicle E/E-systems development teached us how to automize engineering tasks. We provide the tools needed to free your engineers for innovation.

Engineering Data Backbone. The Single-Point-Of-Truth.
Most significant today: Own your data. Get the knowledge back in-house and everybody working on the same page – your page – your platform.
For a long time, knowledge has migrated to the suppliers. OEMs no longer own the complete knowledge and code. But for quite some time now, the trend is reversing. It’s getting more and more crucial to know and own all data for mastering requirements resulting from todays megatrends.
Collect Knowledge
Get everybody working on the same page, on one plattform and store solutions in one secure spot – your Engineering Data Backbone, the „Single-point-of-truth“.
Share Knowledge
Develop product reference models with our E/E-engineering tool ESCAPE and reuse engineering objects, functions or solutions across all products and variants.
Collaborate
With all your data stored in one secure spot, content and role specific accessible by all your departments, and real-time data synchronisation collaboration in this complex environment is made easy.
Save Time & Money
Engineering objects only exist once. All tools work on the same objects, the same database. Effort, sources of error and redundancies are minimized or completely eliminated.

Process Modelling
People
It’s all about the people. Designers, controllers, engineers who create your products. Know about what they do (tasks), how they do it (tools) and when they achieve their goals (time).
Product
People create innovative products defining, designing and implementing it according to the features and functions required to excite your customers. Get to know who does what, when and why.
Prerequisites
Innovative product design needs an environment for creative people and an infrastructure that cares about all your data. Control your process and adapt it’s organization always according to the needs.
