Solve E/E and software errors during R&D up to 9x times faster - with SPREAD Error Management

In 2020, several global automotive OEMs experienced a costly recall due to a minor software error in a vehicle's E/E system. This defect affected the seatbelt warning function, leading to millions in damages and weeks of delays as engineers traced the root cause without a unified error management system. The production of thousands of cars was delayed, illustrating the critical need for improved error management during the R&D phase. This scenario could have been entirely avoided with an integrated solution.
