| Toyota and Maplesoft enter a multi-year partnership to produce new tools for knowledge-rich physical modeling |
Maplesoft has entered a multi-year contract with Toyota Motor Corporation, the world’s largest automobile company. The partnership will produce advanced physical modeling tools to help Toyota move to a new product development process called Model-Based Development (MBD). Key features of the new process include Control System Design and Physical (“Plant”) Modeling based on a symbolic approach. The goal of MBD is to improve time-to-market, quality, and reliability, while reducing cost.
Toyota is recognized worldwide for its innovative use of technology. “Model-Based Development will set new industry standards for the use of software tools and models in automotive systems development,” said Dr. Akira Ohata, Project General Manager of Toyota Motor Corporation. “Symbolic computation, pioneered by companies like Maplesoft, makes new design methods a reality today. Automotive companies like us will realize further improvements in cycle times, cost optimization, and smoother implementation of extremely complex systems.” |
