Case Study
 
Developing an integrated GUI based Human - Machine Interface (HMI) for Magnetti Marelli, a leading international automotive electronics supplier
 
 
Our client
Magneti Marelli is presently the second largest OEM supplier in Europe for instrument cluster and a leader for telematics products.
 
The challenge
The customers (automobile manufacturers) of Magneti Marelli were using a dedicated navigation system in their cars. They wanted to provide a fully integrated infotainment system featuring global navigation system, GSM phone, audio, emergency services, internet access, voice activation, climate control etc.
 
The solution

The Wipro team designed a software application interface integrating multiple functionalities comprising of: human machine interface, functional modules (API layers), resource schedulers and graphics library.

The application was designed using Object Oriented Design methodology. The system is built around a 32- bit micro-controller with VxWorks as the operating system.

The entire development was done offshore with only integration support provided on-site. In house tools like TCube, SmartCover, Humbug and CodeGEN were leveraged during the development process.

 
The Benefits
The customers of Magneti Marelli were able to offer a high end telematics system earlier than competition at an affordable cost and were thus able to position themselves as technology leaders in the market. "CodeGEN", an automated HMI code generator, developed specifically to meet client specifications helped in reducing the development cycle time by over 30% and in minimizing defects.

The design of the application allows for effortless extrapolation to fit diverse car models and functions.

 
Customer testimonial
"Our decision to work with Wipro stems from the confidence we have in them, based on their expertise in embedded systems and an excellent track record in timely project delivery. The Wipro team's technical expertise and dedication has ensured the timely delivery of this product, which was critical for the launch of Fiat's new model. We are thankful to the Wipro team, and we look forward to a continued association with them."
