Optimizing the Device Life Cycle
If you're like most device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), you need to improve device quality, minimize your support costs, and extend the revenue-generating life of your products. While device development may take anywhere from a few months to a year, a deployed device may be in service for 15 years or more, and as a device manufacturer, you are responsible for supporting it as long as it remains in use. To do that best, you need a powerful toolset that will help you optimize the flow of information among development, test, and field engineers for maximum operational efficiency, the best deployment of human resources, and improved customer satisfaction. You require enterprise-wide standardization on an integrated development, run-time, and management platform.
To achieve DSO and successfully manage device software, you need the ability to do the following:
- Streamline testing, accelerate development, and shorten mean-time-to-resolution
- Test and support multiple product lines on common run-times and tools, leveraging tools and information across functional teams
- Design-in testability and supportability, enabling the remote connection between manufacturer and device through software
- Extend the DSO value proposition across the entire product life cycle, providing you with better performance, higher reliability, and reduced risk
Wind River Device Management for the Entire Device Life Cycle
Our tools extend beyond the development phase; in fact, Wind River is one of the only companies that has a holistic view of software. We offer choices from open source to highly secure, highly certified, real-time proprietary operating systems—and now the management of devices for a total solution.
Wind River Device Management is the only solution that enables enterprise-wide standardization on an integrated development, run-time, and management platform. Our portfolio of interconnected technologies makes it possible to aggregate and analyze real-time device data during development and post-deployment, allowing developers to quickly and accurately diagnose and repair faults in running systems. Our solution meets the DSO tenets and provides a powerful tool for every engineering team involved in device diagnostics to focus on high-value-add device software rather than ad hoc tools. Further, with streamlined data exchange, we eliminate the need for your engineers to have to develop custom data conversion tools. In fact, our tools are changing the way development teams and support teams collaborate. Tools and information are leveraged across functional teams, and this occurs across the enterprise.
And through our remote diagnostics solution, you can also design-in testability and supportability. Our unique Sensorpoint technology makes it possible to dynamically instrument live systems.
