**The Role of MES in ADAS Technology** Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are pivotal in advancing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology. MES ensures rigorous quality assurance and traceability, essential for the high standards in ADAS production. By enhancing production efficiency and flexibility, MES optimizes manufacturing operations for sensors and software integration. Its robust data management and analysis capabilities drive continuous improvements, while seamless supply chain integration ensures timely delivery of high-quality components. Additionally, MES employs advanced data encryption standards to safeguard sensitive production data, ensuring data security and compliance. MES is indispensable for delivering reliable and safe ADAS technology. #ADAS #MES #Automation #ManufacturingExcellence #QualityAssurance #DataSecurity #Encryption #TalentAcquisition #HR #TechRecruitment #AutomotiveInnovation

🚗 Will more sophisticated ADAS greatly impact global road-safety? 🚗 The automotive industry is witnessing a transformative era with the advent of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While OEMs are integrating these technologies, the impact on road safety in established markets might not be as dramatic as in developing markets like India. ADAS plays a pivotal role in achieving the WHOs bold target to halve road deaths by 2030, however its effectiveness varies significantly across different markets. 🤔 Are mature markets restricted to incremental gains? In established markets like the EU and the US, ADAS contributes to incremental improvements in road safety because these regions have 3 key features: 1️⃣ High-Quality Infrastructure - Well-maintained roads, clear signage, and effective traffic management systems. 2️⃣ Regulatory Support - Stringent safety standards and regulations that mandate the inclusion of ADAS in new vehicles. 3️⃣ Consumer Awareness - A higher level of consumer awareness and acceptance of advanced safety technologies.   🚧 India has a unique set of challenges! With over 160,000 reported deaths in 2023, India presents a vastly different landscape with poorly maintained roads, erratic traffic, wide-ranging vehicle types, lack of signage and prohibitive cost hindering ADAS effectiveness. 🚫 More advanced ADAS solutions may not transfer well. Some ADAS solutions may not translate seamlessly to India due to the unique conditions. Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) - This feature relies on clear lane markings, which are often absent or faded on Indian roads. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) - The unpredictability of Indian traffic, including sudden pedestrian crossings, 2/3 wheelers and non-motorized vehicles, can challenge the algorithms designed for more orderly traffic scenarios. ❓ What is the best approach for India? For significant impact in India and similar markets, the industry needs to focus on voluntary deployment of effective solutions that address specific local challenges. With the majority of deaths and injuries a result of loss of control and ejection of vehicle occupants. OEMs should prioritize 6 key areas as a minimum: ·       Pedestrian impact protection ·       Adequate seat belts and anchorages ·       Electronic Stability Control (ESC) ·       Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) ·       6 airbags as standard ·       Automatic Headlamp Dipping (AHD)   🎉 Kudos to Tata Motors, who are leading in the area of safety despite the lack of mandates.     📣 As the industry strives to meet the WHO target of halving road deaths by 2030, it's crucial to adopt a nuanced approach that considers the unique needs of different markets. Development and deployment of new technology is not always the right path to achieve better safety outcomes. #4SMobility #Safety #ADAS #RoadSafety #Automotive

Technological innovation is rapidly changing the landscape for technical leaders, creating both challenges and opportunities. Innovative leaders are paving the way for safer, more efficient transportation, and connected vehicles. Mr. Vijay Sharma, Managing Director of FEV India Pvt Ltd, is a perfect example of how leadership can impact this industry. In March 2020, the global lockdown impacted all automotive OEMs, including FEV India. However, this was the perfect time for FEV India to focus on intelligent mobility and change their landscape from powertrain powerhouse to software and electrification of connected vehicles. Today, FEV India works in SDV, Cybersecurity, FUSA, Connectivity, E-Cockpit, ADAS, AUTOSAR-based software, BMS, EE architecture, and System Engineering. #FEV #FeelEvolution #Innovation #LeadershipMatters #Automotive #EVTechnologicalInnovation

🚶‍♂️🏍️ True ADAS - Prioritizing Pedestrian & Two-Wheeler Safety in Automotive Innovation 🏍️🚶‍♀️ Safety isn't just a feature; it's a fundamental necessity in the automotive world, especially in India where 33% of accidents results in a fatality and large percentage of this is Pedestrians, Two-Wheelers & Bicyclists. In automotive world, we call them Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). At Gahan AI, we're thrilled to develop & test our first version of VRU Safety Module, a significant leap forward in our commitment to safeguarding vulnerable road users focusing on their behavior on Indian Roads and the traffic density. Our advanced VRU Safety Module, now fully integrated into our autonomous systems like ACC and Autonomous Navigation, brings us closer to a future where technology not only assists but also protects. With this cutting-edge enhancement, our vehicles can adeptly navigate traffic while accounting for pedestrians and two-wheelers, ensuring their safety and reducing the risk of accidents. This development represents a very small increment but crucial step towards creating a safer, more efficient, and harmonious road environment. By leveraging home grown sensors target built for Indian Roads and AI algorithms, our system recognizes and responds to the dynamic movements of pedestrians and two-wheelers, making split-second decisions to prevent collisions and enhance overall traffic flow. Although this is currently running on a slow-moving golf-cart, we are already working on our passenger vehicle platform and will release it very soon. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and drive towards a world where pedestrian and two-wheeler safety is uncompromised. 🚗💡🔧 #AutomotiveInnovation #SafetyFirst #AutonomousVehicles #PedestrianSafety #TwoWheelerSafety #TechForGood #FutureOfTransport #SmartMobility https://lnkd.in/gfhTaPsa
