Wind River Collaborates with Magneti Marelli in Delivering First-of-Its-Kind GENIVI In-Vehicle Infotainment Solution for Automotive Industry

TURIN, Italy — Jan. 26, 2011 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, and Magneti Marelli, a global automotive high-tech systems and component supplier, today announced a technological collaboration to create the first GENIVI-compliant in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) solution for the automotive industry.

Leading the development of the IVI solution, Magneti Marelli leveraged its extensive automotive know-how in integrating complex systems and technologies for the vehicle environment. Wind River provided an integrated, tested and validated IVI software platform based on the GENIVI open source standard, as well as customization and consulting services.

“GENIVI provides an innovative platform that allows car manufacturers to offer the next generation of connectivity and multimedia services while retaining the distinguishing features that make up the essence of their brands,” said Alexander Kocher, vice president and general manger for automotive solutions at Wind River. “Starting with BMW, Wind River and Magneti Marelli are providing car manufacturers with an IVI solution, delivering the latest infotainment technologies via open source software, which promotes the acceleration of innovation while reducing time-to-market and development costs.”

“The open platform approach can be considered the basis on which the future of in-vehicle life and infotainment will be built,” said Giuseppe Faranda, director of the infotainment and navigation division at Magneti Marelli. “Magneti Marelli’s history, experience and know-how in automotive electronics and systems integration naturally match this approach.”

Magneti Marelli and Wind River have partnered to deliver a reference platform for in-vehicle infotainment, compliant with the emerging GENIVI industry standard. The GENIVI open source platform standard aims to provide automobile manufacturers and their suppliers a common underlying framework to simplify elements of the in-vehicle infotainment development process that have historically been duplicated across the industry.

The new IVI solution, which is compliant with the GENIVI standard, can support a range of control module or “head unit” architectures and is available and customizable for all car manufacturers. Open source software creates a compelling option for Tier 1 suppliers to use as a foundation for IVI devices because it provides greater flexibility and opportunities for innovation, especially in the areas of advanced in-vehicle information, entertainment and connectivity. It also enables sophisticated navigation, telematic and multimedia devices inside automobiles.

The IVI solution will first appear as next-generation entry and mid level IVI systems for BMW Group vehicles.

Wind River and Magneti Marelli will continue to work together to maintain and evolve the Linux reference platform as the basis for future product developments.

Fedegari Autoclavi Selects Wind River for Its Most Sophisticated Industrial Sterilizers

TURIN, Italy – January 11, 2011 – Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, today announced that Fedegari Autoclavi SpA has standardized the control system for its industrial machine line, called Thema4, on Wind River's VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS). This meets the diverse needs of the pharmaceutical industry, including compliance with global certification requirements set out by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union good manufacturing practices guide.

Thema4 is the latest release of Fedegari Autoclavi's control application and runs the touch panels controlling a wide variety of sterilizing machines. The control system is responsible for ensuring drugs and medical devices in general are sterilized reliably and cost-effectively. Fedegari Autoclavi's customers include the top pharmaceutical manufacturers around the world that rely on Fedegari Autoclavi’s equipment to guarantee the highest quality for their drugs.

The sterilizer requires tight, real-time monitoring and adjustment of parameters such as temperature, pressure and humidity as well as the flow of air and water. The control system for these devices requires a stable architecture to ensure consistent and reliable performance.

To meet this challenge, Fedegari Autoclavi chose Wind River's VxWorks RTOS as the foundation for a sophisticated and versatile process controller, which offers a standard solution for Fedegari Autoclavi's global customers. For hardware, these customers can choose among three different platforms, each based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components from major hardware manufacturers, all supported by VxWorks.

"There are no other sterilization equipment manufacturers that can offer COTS hardware and controllers that are infinitely versatile but not custom-programmed for each machine," said Giuseppe Fedegari, chief executive of Fedegari Autoclavi. "Our customers demand flexible, reliable and robust solutions that drive returns on their investment. Choosing the industry-leading software platform as the foundation of our sterilizers was crucial to maintain our leadership and ensure that our customers keep relying on Fedegari for their most critical productions."

"Medical devices are becoming more sophisticated and manufacturers are looking for new ways to enable connectivity and rich features while maintaining a clear path to certification," said Santhosh Nair, director of medical solutions at Wind River. "VxWorks remains the solution of choice for medical device manufacturers determined to establish and maintain a competitive edge."
