The SECOR SDV CONCEPT
At the heart of SECOR's innovation is the SDV CONCEPT. This concept is based on a zonal approach in which a central computer in the vehicle communicates with controllers in different zones. This drastically reduces the number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) required, resulting in a simplified E/E architecture. SECOR's standardized semiconductors are software configurable and universally applicable, offering OEMs significant cost savings and flexibility.
Advantages for the automotive industry
Cost savings and efficiency: By using standardized semiconductors and the ability to replace them shortly before SOP (start of production), OEMs can reduce their production costs and increase efficiency. Since error-free, modular software packages (analogous to the x86 PC, keyword “IBM-compatible”) can be used, this significantly accelerates the development process.
Resilience and sustainability: SECOR's chips are pin-compatible and can be replaced with higher-performance chips in the future, which extends the service life of vehicles and increases sustainability.
Flexibility and future-proofing: Thanks to the SDV CONCEPT, vehicle manufacturers can add new functionalities at a later date and change existing ones more easily. This enables continuous further development of the software without having to adapt the hardware.
