Case Study: DENSO reduces auxiliary motor design workload with MathWorks System Composer and Simulink

DENSO Builds System Architecture Model for Auxiliary Motor to Accelerate Control Design and Verification

Denso Corporation, a global automotive components manufacturer, wanted to model and analyze the core and customized parts of its auxiliary motors separately before integration to improve efficiency and meet Automotive SPICE-style development requirements. Working with MathWorks, the company used MATLAB and Simulink, adding System Composer to support a higher-level, model-based systems engineering approach for blower motors and other auxiliary motor designs.

MathWorks helped Denso implement a solution centered on System Composer for architecture modeling, Simulink for component modeling, and Requirements Toolbox and Simulink Test for traceability and verification. The result was a one-third reduction in workload while maintaining high quality, along with an expanded model-based design process that can be applied to multiple products and a more consistent Automotive SPICE-like workflow managed through a single toolset.
