Uno Minda brought smart and connected technology to life at the Auto Expo 2018.

Uno Minda showcased its stall at the 14th auto expo, built around the theme of Connecting Ideas to Technologies and depicted more than 20 product lines that justified the theme with Smart + Connected technology demonstrators.

Two Technology demonstrators (TD), TD118 Auto and Moto were unveiled at the event with incorporated technologies ranging from ADAS to stylish LED Lamps as an approach by Uno Minda to showcase its capabilities in terms of advanced features, technologies and innovations for automobiles.

The key features presented in the TDs that gave a real time experience to the visitors were:

Android IVI (Integrated HVAC, ADAS, TPMS)

Based on Android 8.0 (Oreo), powered by a powerful quad-core ARM processor, the system is designed for Automotive use and IPS technology. The system has a voice-enabled Google Assistant for convenient interactions with the system and a unique premium sound experience through the amplifier, door speakers, tweeters and roof mount.

An integrated HMI facilitates functions like HVAC control, tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS), Service reminders and appointment along with the Advance Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) that include Rear and Front Park Assist equipped with auto parking, Cross Traffic Alert, Door Open Warning, Blind Spot Detection and "Around View Monitoring" based on RF, ultrasonic and camera-based technologies.

Connected Vehicles and Telematics

The need for connected vehicles exists more strongly in emerging markets like India. Aligning with it, Uno Minda has been offering end-to-end connected vehicle solutions, from TCU to IT solutions and ongoing customer support services.

The TDs demonstrated connectivity through an AIS-140-compliant Telematics Control Unit (TCU) that included a Microsoft Azure powered cloud platform, a TCU, and a smart phone app for the end user.

Another TD was based on Bluetooth low energy technology for turn by turn navigation and other important notifications from the rider’s smartphone.

Advanced Lighting Technologies

Successful lighting design creates an experience that aligns with the driver’s interest and generates his curiosity. Uno Minda lighting technologies are based on global trends and aligned with cutting edge technologies.

One of the TDs demonstrated signature styled full LED headlamps with a dynamic welcome feature, ‘3D sculpted’ bi-functional projector with matrix LED’s. The DRL, a three step lighting sequence were a kinds of experience once limited to luxury cars and AFS technology which adapts to the vehicle’s speed, movement and steering angle to provide light to the user in any terrain condition has been very well presented in the TDs. The full LED rear lighting assembly shows 3D surfaces lit up creating a ‘molten-metal’ look, the sequential indicators appear to be floating due to the unique ‘floating’ style were the other state- of –art technologies Uno Minda have been providing.

The Other TD demonstrated full LED lighting systems - the front lighting system bearing bi-functional LED projectors which projected high beam and low beam. The styling of the lamp is carefully ‘sculpted’ to harmonise with the Sugomi design language of the motorbike. The rear lighting sports the signature ‘Z’ while acting as the tails function also adds to the style of the motorbike. The LED series below the tail acts as the stop function along with the sporty turn indicators and number plate light.

Switches

The increasing advancements in the four wheeler and two wheeler technologies are leading to integration of additional functions and switches in the vehicles.

The TDs showcased a unique combination of handle bar switches which have been designed in-house to not only follow the design language of the vehicle but also focuses on the ergonomics of the rider.

The handle switch incorporated technologies like as low amperage switch domes, micro-switching and LIN communication, designed to meet IP67 sealing requirements.

The TDs also demonstrated multiple ergonomic switches for functions like capacitive sense based start stop switch, an SOS switch and power window switch panel with anti-pinch feature based on a Hall Effect sensor.

Mr. Rajneesh Vashisht, VP CDMM

Association of Mahindra with Uno Minda goes a long way, almost 2 to three decades. They have been our partner both in terms of technology and supplies of electric components for almost 2 decades. They have been one of our most consistent suppliers for a long time. Uno Minda group has been taking on proactive steps in bringing technology to the OEMs

Mr. Sunil Kakkar, Executive VP – Supply Chain

I am happy to see Uno Minda’s capabilities, the way they are moving now we have to see how to explore things in future so that the final customer requests are met.

Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, VP – Engineering, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Uno Minda stall is great, they have shown integration of multiple technologies. I think Uno Minda Group has worked with various partners over the years and with various technologies. This time they have taken the inititive of putting a string through all of them and showing them together in a one vehicle. Tomorrow going forward also integrating technology is going to be a challenge and they are also working on the same thing.
