According to Gartner, in 2023 the automotive industry will comprise 53% of the entire 5G IoT endpoint opportunity, out of which 39% of opportunities will come from connected cars.1 Such statistics indicate the transformation that the automotive industry is on the cusp of, where the Cloud, as an enabler, presents exciting opportunities.2
As the industry designs data-driven automobiles that leverage AI/ML and intuitive interfaces, it enhances user experience and opens new channels for businesses to create value. Additionally, it also makes a case for – Connected Vehicles, Autonomous Driving, Shared Mobility, and Electrification – thereby driving innovation.
Here’s how.
Given how such vehicles will proliferate, data collation in the Cloud can only better the understanding of all the stakeholders regarding their customers, key drivers for purchases, how best to personalize services, and the factors that will drive revenues and ensure better value to be derived from the vehicle. Such understanding will direct significant gains to all the stakeholders in the automotive industry.
OEMs: They can drive digital-first and digital-enabled services and improve their knowledge about the mobility ecosystem through the life of vehicles. In addition, OEMs can study and investigate patterns around vehicle usage and leverage data collection in the Cloud to get better insights into customers, vehicle pre-purchases, and the condition of vehicles throughout lifecycles.
Dealers: Incentivizing the Cloud will help control critical costs, eliminate confusion, and enable accurate, consistent tracking of incentives. By harnessing advanced AI/ML tools, they can understand patterns in past rebates and apply these effectively, as well as check overspending.
Suppliers: Cloud-based solutions help reduce development & validation costs through virtualization & simulation. They can allow suppliers to seamlessly exchange data to & from OEM. Going a step further, they can improve uptime, reduce in-warranty failures, and repair costs through monitoring of components.
Vehicle owners: Favourable experiences with smartphones and the digital world, along with the desire for enhanced benefits, customized services, secure vehicles, and optimal IVI experiences will drive Cloud adoption.

With its DPDU Library in series production with European OEMs, other OTA components in series production with various passenger car OEMs, and Cloud catering to Asian commercial vehicles markets, KPIT is set to transform the mobility ecosystem.
Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is an important factor that indicates the remaining vitality of any component. KPIT’s model for predicting component RUL utilizes a custom Deep Learning Architecture and can be employed on embedded as well as Cloud platforms. KPIT’s solution has ready application for RUL prediction of EV Battery, Battery Usage, Engine Oil, Spark Plug, Brake Pads, and Fluid, etc.
For instance, KPIT’s Cloud-based AI/ML-driven program analyses the data collected from the BMS for temperature, usage patterns, charge status to help predict battery failures and prognosticate RUL.
KPIT’s Integrated Asset Management Platform is a baseline set of capabilities that enable a connected vehicle solution or a fleet management solution. It includes features related to Tracking, Journey Risk Management, Driver Behavior, Vehicle Health Monitoring, DTC Management, EV Charging Management, and Fuel Efficiency. The Platform currently has 6+ OEM deployments over Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, and handles 55+ TB contents of data per month.
Going beyond ready solutions, KPIT also has considerable experience managing and operating Cloud solutions. It provides several services across the entire application lifecycle from the day-to-day management of the Cloud to the customer interface and everything that comes in between.
KPIT’s expertise is well-known when it comes to the development and design phase, whether it is the Migration of solutions to Cloud or Building new solutions. Being a software integration partner, it also works on Integration of multiple systems or enterprise solutions, as well as with third-party solutions or APIs. It provides full-cycle Validation, including everything from validation of IVI going on to the app. With our experience, we understand the Optimization required to ensure that as the business and volume of vehicles on the Cloud grows, the costs stay within control, and the reliability of performance remains unaffected.
The KPIT team has the skills to do day-to-day Management, Monitoring, and Operations while ensuring the Security across the lifecycle in terms of state-of-the-art Cybersecurity, Data Privacy & Anonymization.
KPIT’s platforms form the baseline set of capabilities that drive our solutions. We understand the need to test on-scale without incurring high costs or investing more effort and hardware by resorting to ECU virtualization and Diagnostic Capabilities. Hence, many of these ready solutions hold promise for OEMs. In this regard, KPIT has emerged as a frontrunner. Not only are we managing and operating Cloud-based solutions but also driving innovation through fundamental enabling technologies. With end-to-end expertise in the automotive domain and as a software integrator, KPIT is equipped to become the partner OEMs seek. Be it the development and design phase, migration of existing solutions to the Cloud, devising new solutions, or ensuring smooth integration — with multiple solutions/enterprise systems or third-party systems — KPIT has it covered.
