Harman Automotive Unveils Innovative Solutions to Revolutionize Automotive Software Development
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Harman Automotive has launched two groundbreaking products, Ready CQuence Loop and Ready Link Marketplace, aiming to address the growing demands of the software and electronics market in the automotive sector.
The unveiling comes as car manufacturers, suppliers, and developers seek innovative solutions to accelerate development cycles, enhance in-vehicle products, and unlock new revenue streams. Harman's Ready CQuence Loop and Ready Link Marketplace are designed to achieve this goal.
Ready CQuence Loop is a software-defined-vehicle (SDV) toolchain that boasts significant benefits for automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and developers. The product increases developer productivity by providing a virtual environment conducive to faster deployment of new vehicle features. Harman ensures the infrastructure via Ready CQuence Loop while ensuring lower development and validation costs.
According to Daniel Lueddecke, senior director and Ready CQuence Loop product lead at Harman, "Today's tools for developing and testing automotive software are not aligned with modern software development practices." With Ready CQuence Loop, Harman aims to revolutionize the process, providing APIs that enable third-party providers to enhance the toolchain-related workloads.
On another note, Ready Link Marketplace offers a unified digital trading platform connecting auto makers, developers, and users. This pioneering initiative enables car manufacturers to provide tailor-made apps, services, and vehicle features while offering industry-leading content with simplified integration and control.
In addition, Ready Link Marketplace opens up unprecedented monetization possibilities, transforming the way vehicles are experienced. Heiko Huettel, vice president of Software Products at Harman, succinctly stated, "We want to make this change meaningful for developers, auto makers, and consumers by focusing on the essentials – making it easier to deliver and receive better in-vehicle experiences for everyone."
As Harman looks toward a digital transformation revolutionizing the automotive industry, its introduction of Ready CQuence Loop and Ready Link Marketplace indicates that innovation will continue to shape the future of automotive software development.
