Challenge

Software deployed for mission-critical edge systems must execute operations promptly while maintaining high determinism and safety. The underlying operating systems must be reliable, robust, and resilient against various vulnerabilities and cyber threats. Additionally, engineering platforms for embedded systems have grown increasingly complex as organizations incorporate more software and hardware components.

Wind River sought Avenga’s assistance to address these challenges by offering advanced operating systems for intelligent edge solutions and providing sophisticated development integration tools to streamline software development processes.

Solution

Avenga played a crucial role in defining the requirements for an innovative infotainment system. They began with a comprehensive business analysis and proceeded to engineer a prototype. Additionally, Avenga assisted in identifying critical components and establishing a clear implementation roadmap.

Beyond engineering the infotainment system, Avenga supported Wind River’s in-house team in transitioning to Agile software methodology. This involvement led to significant optimizations, streamlining, and accelerated product development, with Avenga overseeing the project from inception through deployment and maintenance.

Avenga maintains a dedicated team responsible for feature and update validation of the infotainment system. Over 20 experts meticulously assess every aspect of the system’s functionality and validate new features before delivery to end users.

Following the successful infotainment system collaboration, Wind River tech engaged Avenga for other projects, including Wind River Studio. Avenga provided the necessary skills to design and engineer a solution tailored for use as a backend in edge systems, assisting in creating components that enable clients to launch and run their own edge systems capable of handling significant load balancing and networking requirements.

Avenga delivered comprehensive engineering and automation services for the Wind River Cloud project. Their team executed test automation and supported the client’s in-house engineering team in developing and incorporating diverse functionalities into the platform.

Avenga’s expertise in DevOps and development was pivotal in engineering and deploying web apps for Wind River Studio, contributing to making the product the industry’s only comprehensive lifecycle management platform for mission-critical, intelligent systems.

Results

The collaboration began with approximately 20 individuals providing engineering support and has grown into a robust strategic partnership, with over 100 Avenga experts actively engaged in Wind River’s projects.

Avenga’s role has transformed from a vendor to an integral component within Wind River’s operations, characterized by synchronized processes and aligned management procedures.

Avenga has demonstrated exceptional proficiency in executing various cooperation models, delivering a comprehensive suite of services ranging from business consulting to engineering, deployment, testing, and maintenance of multiple products.

Avenga has effectively synchronized efforts with both the client and multiple third-party vendors across diverse time zones, ensuring seamless collaboration and optimal results.
