Customer solution · Software-defined validation

Modernise engineering and validation workflows without hardware lock-in

Connect simulation, automated testing, diagnostics, operator workflows, and physical validation systems through a software layer that can evolve independently of one hardware supplier.

The customer problem

The engineering workflow should not be owned by one platform

Engineering teams often accumulate scripts, tools, data formats, and operator practices around one target environment or supplier. This makes change expensive and prevents engineering knowledge from moving efficiently between projects. DEVlink creates software-defined layers that connect software simulation, automation, diagnostics, and physical validation while keeping the architecture open to the most suitable tools and hardware.

Designed for
  • Validation platform owners
  • Test and integration engineers
  • Simulation teams
  • Automation and CI teams
  • Engineering tool architects
  • Programme and validation leaders
DEVlink approach

A practical path from fragmented testing to reusable capability

The architecture is adapted to the customer’s product, development stage, interfaces, laboratory, and existing investments rather than forcing a predefined platform.

01 · Assess

Assess

Map the current software, simulation, test, laboratory, interfaces, bottlenecks, and reusable assets.

02 · Separate

Separate

Define clear boundaries between models, I/O, orchestration, automation, diagnostics, and evidence.

03 · Integrate

Integrate

Connect DEVlink software with simulation targets, ECUs, test systems, laboratory equipment, enterprise tools, and delivery pipelines.

04 · Automate

Automate

Create repeatable execution and machine-readable control without removing operator usability.

05 · Reuse

Reuse

Move scenarios, configurations, results, and engineering knowledge across benches and projects.

06 · Evolve

Evolve

Introduce new tools, targets, or hardware without rebuilding the complete engineering workflow.

Business and engineering value

Make the workflow easier to repeat, explain, and improve

DEVlink avoids invented percentage claims. The value is demonstrated through the customer’s own workflow, integration scope, and measurable reduction in repeated work.

  • Keep engineering workflows portable across suitable simulation and physical validation environments
  • Reuse automation and validation knowledge between programmes
  • Reduce fragmented scripts and manual operator steps
  • Integrate diagnostics and evidence into daily execution
  • Integrate with suitable NI, dSPACE, Beckhoff, custom, or other engineering environments
  • Use ALIARO xMove where it is the best fit without creating vendor lock-in
