We provide engineering services related to the analysis and interpretation of development data in automotive OEM development. Our company has a strong background in evaluating key in-vehicle technologies (OTA, cybersecurity, in-vehicle communication (CAN/Ethernet), diagnostics, etc.). We conduct everything from scenario planning to evaluation environment setup to evaluation (xILS, actual equipment) in a one-stop manner! We not only assess the quality of evaluation results in development but also address compliance with regulations and propose improvements for the efficiency and automation of analysis and interpretation tasks. 【Features】 ■ Responsible for data analysis/interpretation of numerous functions - Evaluation data analysis for ADAS development - Evaluation data analysis for OTA development - Evaluation data analysis for AD (autonomous driving) functions - Analysis of evaluation results for in-vehicle communication functions ■ Tools and software used for measurement/analysis/interpretation - Panel4 - QGIS - DBeaver ■ Implementing improvement proposals based on analysis/interpretation results - Efficiency improvements for testing/analysis/interpretation - Automation of testing/analysis/interpretation - Improvements in analysis processes and methods *For more details, please refer to the materials or feel free to contact us.

There is a problem of insufficient GPU memory for training large deep learning networks, while GPUs are expensive compared to HDDs and DRAM, making expansion difficult. By utilizing other hardware, it is possible to train large networks using only a single GPU! 【Technical Details】 ■ Data transfer to HDD using CUDA Unified Memory - Users can transfer data from GPU memory to Host memory without being aware of the transfer. - A technology has been implemented to transfer data to HDD when Host memory is insufficient by extending the Nvidia Driver. ■ Analysis of computation graphs - Development of a technology that keeps only the necessary data in the GPU, moving others to Host memory or storage, and transferring them back to the GPU when computation is likely needed. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Our company provides engineering services for meter development aimed at automotive OEMs. We promote requirements definition and specification formulation with an eye toward multifunctionality and multilingual support for the next generation. We accurately extract user-operable items, various switches, and all options at each hierarchy from the requirement specifications indicated by each ECU, organizing the requirements into a "customization list." We carefully organize a variety of use cases and produce clear documentation that enables a smooth handover to designers and implementation departments. This significantly reduces the risks of requirement omissions, overlaps, and rework in the development of multifunctional in-vehicle meters. We also support the creation of a "font specification list" that details font types, sizes, and display patterns across dozens of languages. By collaborating with designers and implementation departments, we build an optimal font environment for each language used. (Since designers are also in-house staff, closer collaboration is possible.) Through reliable requirements definition and specification management, we strongly support your in-vehicle meter development.
