Macnica 's automotive design, development and manufacturing contract services

- Japan's No. 1 semiconductor technology trading company's mounting capabilities deliver overwhelming performance in the SDV era -

Changes in the mobility market and the services required

With the development of EVs and autonomous driving technology, what is required of automobiles is not just driving performance, but also the experiential value of the experience provided while traveling and inside the vehicle. To meet this rapidly expanding and changing demand, there is now a need for automobiles whose functions and experience are determined by software, and which can be updated at any time. This is the SDV (Software Defined Vehicle).
In order to provide this so-called "cars as a service," it is essential to have a design and development environment that supports various technologies such as software update environments, OTA, API maintenance, and security construction, as well as to secure software development personnel, which are chronically in short supply nationwide.
Macnica has extensive technical knowledge of semiconductors (key devices), and together with its own software development resources and development partners both in Japan and overseas, it is our one-stop shop to meet our customers' development needs.
