Integrated Product Development of ISO 26262, ASPICE, and Cybersecurity using a Software Platform

by Chad Kymal,Vignesh Sambandan,Nikhil Unnikrishnan published on February 13, 2024

The combustion engine is making way for the electric and autonomous vehicles. With this disruption, the new era ushers in changes in how New Product Development is conducted with what Omnex calls “coupled design.” This design paradigm includes Functional Safety ISO 26262, Product Cybersecurity ISO 21434, and Automotive SPICE for software. This coupled design also includes a design supply chain that needs “requirements” from the system and a flow up of testing.

Watch this webinar to learn more about this new “design paradigm” and a software platform that supports electric and autonomous vehicle product development including Functional Safety ISO 26262, Product Cybersecurity ISO 21434, and Automotive SPICE for software.

This software platform is a major innovation fulfilling over 90 percent of the new EV/AV standards. Join this webinar to find out how digitalization and model based engineering will perform product design seamlessly and with high productivity.
