Digital Transformation in Practice : Learning from IIC Deployments
Offering an AI service platform for the digital transformation in the molding business is important . The contribution of Smart Mold test drive is clear . We showed that employing AI service platform into molding business can reduce defect ratio , inspection cost while increase productivity . We believe that the benefit would be greater on a larger-scale digital transformation journey .
• demonstrate how software can be managed on a fleet of vehicles remotely . Software can be deployed , inspected , updated , and replaced . A microservices architecture provides maximum functional improvement with a minimum of software change ,
• show how a system needs to be conceived for software over-the-air update ( OTA ) to reach its full potential . ( Pushing software over the network is already done to some extent , with limited benefit . A proper solution requires a component-based full life-cycle management for software on the vehicle .)
• showcase Li-Fi for OTA updates and V2X communication to address the challenges associated with RF , such as signal interference , jamming , and limited bandwidth and
• illustrate how manufacturers can manage the entire DevOps cycle of an automobile , from development , to testing , to deployment , and to operations , mitigating cybersecurity risks inherent in the integration of IT and OT .
The IIC Automotive and OTA Testbed was initiated by AASA and aicas . Other current participants are Linaro and Bosch .
OTA is a result of industries digitally transforming towards software and artificial intelligence — both of which require the solution providers to reimagine the entire dev-ops cycle . A key component is bridging the IT / OT gap . OTA helps ; doing so smartly is key to product success .
The testbed has yet to be completed . We welcome the addition of 5G as communication method , and applying OTA to other industries such as health IT and industrial applications .
The testbed addresses digital transformation business goals . Integrating networking technology into the vehicle for OTA forces the vehicle to become part of the IT infrastructure , as well as continuing to be an OT system . This has an operational impact , drastically changes requirements for achieving trustworthiness and affects the customer and the business model of the vehicle .
Connecting the car to the internet requires IT / OT integration and convergence . The purpose of the testbed is to come as near as possible to a full automotive proof-of-concept for OTA . This
