Potsdam, Germany, 11 January 2012 * * * The tools of INCHRON GmbH, a leading manufacturer and supplier of design and test solutions for real-time critical software, are now being used worldwide by Continental AG. The company uses the INCHRON Tool-Suite to analyze the real-time behavior of its control units and networks. The INCHRON tools are extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. Continental has therefore opted for global use of the proven tools chronSIM and chronVAL across all corporate locations. INCHRON’s sales partner IBM will coordinate licensing and provide local customer support in collaboration with INCHRON.
The INCHRON tools have proved clearly superior to competitive solutions. During the development of automotive electronic control units, it is important to define and validate the real-time behavior of the planned control features in the early project phases. INCHRON’s development tools, processes and methodologies provide a model-based solution for monitoring real-time behavior, thereby guaranteeing the safe performance of E/E systems.
The tools support standards such as AUTOSAR and ISO 26262 as well as interfaces for widely used tools such as Rhapsody and DOORS from IBM.
