Tata Technologies Teams Up With Synopsys

Tata Technologies, a global product engineering and digital services company, reports a strategic collaboration with Synopsys, to drive the shift toward software-defined vehicle (SDV) mobility. Both companies will leverage each other’s expertise to provide solutions that address SDV complexity, the companies report.
 
The collaboration aims to empower automotive manufacturers to tackle next-generation mobility by combining Tata Technologies’ deep domain expertise in vehicle engineering with Synopsys’ virtualization solutions enabling the deployment of electronics digital twins (eDTs). The companies have started engaging collaboratively with a leading European OEM. The team developed an advanced solution blueprint to transition from the existing E/E architecture to a next-generation software-defined design. Pilot programs with other major OEMs are also underway in North America, Europe, and India.

“The digital shift is redefining the future of mobility, and our partnership with Synopsys is a purposeful step towards realizing a future led by software-defined innovations," says Sriram Lakshminarayanan, chief technology officer at Tata Technologies. "As OEMs move to new ways of working, there is a growing demand for engineering and digital services. Together, we are empowering OEMs to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles that enhance the human experience and accelerate the industry’s transition to a software-defined future.”

“The complexity of SDV systems requires a new level of collaboration across the automotive ecosystem. By bringing together our world-class digital twin, verification, and IP platforms with Tata Technologies’ engineering expertise and global delivery, we are enabling OEMs to accelerate development, validation and delivery of complex software- and AI-defined vehicles,” says Tom De Schutter, senior vice president, Product Management & Markets Group at Synopsys.

The joint effort will span major SDV domains, including ADAS, powertrain, chassis, body, central compute, gateways, infotainment, connectivity, and electrification.

Key areas of focus include:

• Shift left enablement for developing virtual prototypes, simulation models, and electronics digital twins for early software and other use cases
• Synopsys tools & technologies for performance, power, multiphysics, safety, and reliability analysis for faster ECU development cycles
• Tata Technologies’ embedded systems and software solutions for ECU and E/E architecture development
• Embedded systems and software verification & validation services aligned with ISO 26262 and ASPICE standards
