K-DCP Business Integration

Overview

KPIT’s Business Integration Platform enables integration of K-DCP offerings with the OEM’s enterprise environment. This system level integration supports customers digitization needs and ensures utility of existing data assets & cross functional synergies.

The cloud-based platform provides services and data storage to support the diagnostics product life-cycle. It also provides an API layer to integrate existing IT landscape, manage licenses & users and ensure security.

It mimics a standard software development process of Develop -> Compile -> Verify -> Reiterate for diagnostics. This ensures that ‘stored data’ is reliable and ‘deployable’.

Overview

Salient Features

  • Cloud-based, single point of integration & interface to existing IT back-end systems, infrastructure and diagnostic systems
  • Industry-specification (HAL, etc) friendly RESTful APIs that minimize integration effort
  • Authentication, authorization and licensing platform that integrates directly with your existing providers via SAML
  • Configurable pipelines to enable continuous integration & quality gating of diagnostic data
  • Intuitive publication and [dependency based] packaging for delivery to down-stream customers
  • Dashboards and analytics that provide deep insight into diagnostic authoring maturity & delivery status
  • Diagnostic session upload, storage and data-processing platform for deep analytics

Key Benefits

KPIT’s Business Integration Platform enables better reliability, higher reusability and lower development cost of diagnostics data

It joins the dots between processes and tools, and:

  • Provides a backbone for a truly centralized diagnostic data authoring and content delivery
  • Enables rapid platform adoption with out-of-the-box tooling integration
  • Uses enterprise integration patterns to lower cost and accelerate IT-backend cohesion
  • Provides data maturity dashboards with up-to-the-minute insights
  • Is deployable on cloud-based and in-house infrastructure

Overview

The Integration API is a gateway to the data stored in the Integration platform and provides the infrastructure for integrating with existing IT landscape.

KPIT’s K-DCP tools are integrated out-of-the-box, and authorized external applications can easily be added through simple integration interfaces.

This flexible approach allows for the creation of custom adapters to integrate with systems which would send data to the Business Integration Platform. This data can be stored and made available to downstream applications.

Salient Features

  • Standards compliant API for frictionless integration
  • Integrates with Salesforce, identity management, Open ID
  • Access is controlled with licenses
  • Unified tool chain achieved with central data source
  • Data is available centrally for all enterprise systems
  • KPIT tools are integrated out of the box

Key Benefits

  • REST-based following the OPEN API standard
  • OAuth out of the box
  • All diagnostics data, engineering and aftersales, is available across the enterprise landscape

Overview

LIMAS is an off-the-shelf solution for License management of K-DCP and related tools. It provides dynamic licensing solutions with models to suit multiple use-cases (floating, token-based, etc.).

KPIT’s LIMAS makes it easy for application producers to monetize, secure, enhance and grow market share through the flexible pricing, packaging, and licensing of applications, intelligent devices or equipment using embedded software.

LIMAS manages applications by controlling different license models, user roles, features and updates.

Overview

Salient Features

  • Licensing with unlimited licensable features
  • REST based backend for easy integration with CRM systems e.g. salesforce
  • Licenses are available offline
  • Floating, long term and node locked licenses
  • User management with identity management integration
  • Data and software updates controlled via licenses
  • Web-based Administrator Console

Key Benefits

  • Flexible Software Licensing Models
  • Efficient In-Product license Activation Support
  • Protect Software and Prevent Unauthorized Copying
  • Update data and software delivery
  • API for 3rd party integration for user data
  • Supports 3rd party application licensing with simple API and library

Overview

Reliable, controlled storage is a vital part of any diagnostic data delivery system. KPIT’s Business Integration Platform comes equipped with off-the-shelf diagnostic data storage and delivery functionality.

It manages data generated by the diagnostic development process and provides delivery for data utilized by the diagnostic execution process.

This is integrated with all the K-DCP tools and includes storage of ODX data and OTX sequences as well as any ancillary data. These data stores are segregated and are available via API.

Overview

Salient Features

  • Can use multiple backend storage types as the integration is API driven
  • REST based communication allowing easy integration
  • Data is version controlled
  • File locking functionality to avoid parallel changes
  • User level access control on data
  • Can be deployed on cloud or customer environment

Key Benefits

  • OTX and ODX data is centrally available
  • Enables automated testing & validating
  • With continuous integration only valid and tested data is released to downstream systems
  • Infrastructure and database agnostic
  • Possibility of locking files to prevent concurrent modifications

Overview

Dependency management, as the name suggests, manages dependencies within and between software (flash files or calibration files) and hardware parts, in different parts of a subsystem or a system. These dependences can be easily modelled via a user interface.

KPIT’s Dependency management solution provides a central system to track software and hardware update information along with historical service information in case of warranty claims.

It acts as a system of records to audit how a device was upgraded and by whom.

Overview

Salient Features

  • All data stored as dependencies
  • Graphical visualization of dependencies
  • Simple form-based dependency modelling
  • REST based Graph Query API
  • Full audit trail will rollback information
  • Asset Management for content delivery

Key Benefits

  • Visual representation of dependency Graph
  • Graph API for querying the dependency Graph
  • Update package generation based on relationships
  • Optimizes delivery efficiency

Overview

In an increasingly automated world where data-driven intelligence drives business decisions, information is key.

KPIT meets this need with a fit-for-future ‘data-twin’ solution: vehicle data from manufacturing to end-of-life as well as feedback and semantic knowledge from the field is captured in a Diagnostics Data Store and a data-twin is generated for each vehicle.

The Diagnostic data store provides automated data-feed capabilities and an intuitive interface for data visualization.

Salient Features

  • Flexible data model for diagnostics
  • Auto generated API reducing deployment time
  • Available offline with KPIT tester framework outside the box
  • Diagnostics data for devices is available online
  • Secure access via licenses or enterprise Identity management
  • Multi-tenant support

Key Benefits

  • All machine data is available in one location – No heterogeneous data lakes
  • Data is available via Open API compliant API
  • Data show is a raw data twin of a machine or a vehicle in the field

Overview

In-built dashboards provide management an overview that ensures your organization is firmly in control and able to rapidly zero-in on in-field or development issues.

Data analytics provide detailed usage statistics and identify attention hotspots (for example emerging or recurrent diagnostic failures or program development that is not currently behind, but where the velocity and remaining work effort mean it will become late).
