Take your organisation to the next level of speed and quality in software development for software-defined products.

NEXT LEVEL SOFTWARE QUALITY
When products are no longer defined by hardware, software development must be taken to the next level

The proportion of software in mechatronic systems is growing exponentially. End users base their purchasing decisions on software-driven features. Chinese companies develop their products faster and faster.

This creates new challenges in terms of software quality, development speed, and collaboration and puts pressure on many organizations. OEM demand proof of quality, new standards are emerging, and customers as well as legal authorities expect safe and reliable products.

However, existing quality management (QM) systems often don’t provide enough support for software development in terms of structure and strategy.

Your challenges
SOFTWARE BEATS HARDWARE

Products are software-defined and end users base their decisions on software-driven features

COMPLEXITY

Software volumes increase exponentially

TIME-TO-MARKET

Short development times are a decisive competitive factor in  global competition

PRODUCT LIABILITY

Companies and senior executives are liable for damage caused by software

OVER-THE-AIR Updates (OTA)

Software must be updatable, traceable and securely deployable

CYBERSECURITY

New threats require structured protection of the entire software chain

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY​

Functional safety requires the highest level of discipline in development and organisation

ECOSYSTEM

The product is increasingly becoming part of an ecosystem and can no longer be viewed in isolation

Where traditional standards end, ASQMS begins

Software has always been the driving enabler for new features in mechatronic products, but many Quality Management systems are still based on the way products were designed in the past.

 

ASQMS closes this gap.

It is the first industry-wide harmonized quality management system that thinks software quality holistically: across system boundaries, company boundaries and domains.

ASQMS connects products, cloud, infrastructure (e.g. road, battery chargers) and maintenance systems into a common quality framework – and ensures that organizations not only develop, but also take responsibility for what constitutes software-defined products.

For companies that see software as an integral part of their product promise.
