SERVICES

With more than 20 years of experience, Pi Innovo offers end-to-end solutions to global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Always striving to help customers overcome technology constraints, resource crunches and tight product development budgets.

Engineering Services

Pi Innovo brings a deep understanding of automotive process, engineering knowledge, regulations and commercial norms to every customer engagement. This ensures that work is not only technically excellent, but delivered appropriately for production or prototype programs. Our engineers have a range of backgrounds, not just in automotive work but also in electronic and controls engineering, computer science, mathematics and physical sciences, providing the knowledge required to really understand engineering problems.

Since our first work on production-related systems, we have maintained a clear focus on engineering quality, applying best practice methods where necessary, yet tailoring process requirements to individual projects to avoid unnecessary cost and timing burden where it is not needed. While Pi Innovo has its own accredited processes, we are equally comfortable working to clients’ process requirements when required. Successful accreditations include: AutomotiveSPICE level 3, ISO 9001:2008, and ISO 26262 is now gaining focus. Pi Innovo is comfortable working with multiple clients, strictly maintaining agreed IP and publicity boundaries.

Systems Engineering

Systems engineering is the foundation for much of what we do. Our Systems Engineering team ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered and integrated into the whole. The systems engineering process is a discovery process using disciplined tools to identify real problems that need to be solved in order to avoid finding an elegant solution to the wrong problem. Systems engineering often requires contribution from diverse technical disciplines. By providing a systems (holistic) view of the development effort, Pi Innovo's system team helps align all technical contributors in a unified team effort, forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to production. From Requirements Definition to Architecture Analysis, Safety to Reliability and Calibration, to Testing and Validation, Pi Innovo's Systems Engineering Team can support any portion or all of your needs. Read more about Systems Engineering

Controls and Application Software

In addition to ECU hardware and low-level driver software, Pi implements embedded controls in either C language or model-based Matlab Simulink. Both approaches can achieve modular control logic, architected so that separate principles within a large system can be developed separately.

Software development and architecture design for production is a unique skill apart from regular software development. At Pi Innovo, we know the difference between rapid prototype development and true production software development. For our production software customers, we spend time developing a modular architecture that will grow with the inevitable expansion and refinement of the software. All software will change. Architecting with this in mind to minimize the time spent doing non-value added code development is what we do best.
