Siemens Unveiled New Automotive Digital Twin Software

Siemens announced its new software solution that should ease digital twin set-ups for the automotive industry. The company stated that the solution would slash deployment times from a matter of months to days.

The PAVE360 Automotive technology targets production of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with a host of integrated systems, Siemens stated, removing the need for manufacturers to design their own digital twins. It is pitching the set-up as a tonic for rising complexity in vehicle hardware and software.

It mirrors real-world vehicle hardware to promote the development of automated driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, and infotainment equipment. Siemens Digital Industries Software president and CEO Tony Hemmelgarn said the technology would enable automotive manufacturers to access the digital twin technologies needed to move beyond incremental innovation by adopting a software-defined approach to product development.

The software provides virtual reference designs for ADAS, automated driving, and infotainment. Siemens also pitched the benefits of improved cloud collaboration by employing a single digital twin across multiple teams, along with a modular approach to software and external hardware. Siemens highlighted an integration of Arm Zena Compute Subsystem, which it stated would promote use by automotive companies.
