Virtual Engineering for Faster, High-Quality Auto Dev | KPIT

Technological advances in CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) are transforming vehicles into software-centric entities, making software development vital for innovation. However, traditional MIL, SIL, and HIL testing methods struggle to keep up with rapid development cycles, leading to delays and inefficiencies.

As competitors accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) development, completing projects in just two years, the global automotive industry faces mounting pressure to adapt quickly and implement effective early defect detection strategies to stay competitive.

Delayed Defect Detection

Most defects are identified only during late validation stages, pushing SOP timelines by more than two years.

Feature/Function Compatibility Issues

Feature/function compatibility & integration issues surface only a few months before the SOP.​

Dependence on Real ECUs

The development process is heavily dependent on real ECUs, which need decoupling from suppliers for flexibility.

Delay in reporting issues

Completing the system V cycle and reporting issues can take four to six weeks, necessitating a reduction to days.

Complex Root Cause Analysis

Isolating and identifying root causes is difficult and time-consuming, often taking more than a month.

KPIT's solutions enhanceOEM validation by integrating test coverage across E/E architecture and vehicle networks. Our Integrated Virtual Engineering accelerates co-simulation for thousands of users, enabling rapid testing and supporting CI/CD/CT workflows.

The scalable, hybrid platform—compatible with cloud and on-premise setups—provides real-time insights and a virtual Bill of Material, crucial for efficient implementation and early defect detection.

Our offerings
