The Challenge

Delphi was looking for an innovative solution to implement an automatic code generation process for the HMI of radios for Volkswagen as OEM. The input for the code generation was delivered in machine-readable form in a proprietary XML format. EB had to handle an enormous number of variants for different countries and brands in the project.

The Solution

EB was responsible for the HMI software and implemented a plug-in to import the customer-specific XML into EB GUIDE Studio.

The Benefit

Delphi benefited from EB's in-depth HMI knowledge in automotive HMI development and Volkswagen- specific XML variants. By using EB GUIDE Studio, Delphi could perform error analysis, test features and already experience them before implementation.

Dr. Wilhelm Steger, Managing Director Infotainment & Driver Interface Europe, Delphi said: "For such complex radio HMI development time and costs were shortened, higher flexibility with regards to maintenance and feature upgrades has been reached through automatic code generation with EB GUIDE Graphics Target Framework."
