Case Study: LS Automotive achieves reduced development time and error-free code with MathWorks Model-Based Design

LS Automotive Reduces Development Time for Automotive Component Software with Model-Based Design

LS Automotive, a leading Korean tier‑1 supplier of vehicle switches and components, needed to shorten development times for embedded control software (for products such as a door area unit) while meeting OEM demands for faster delivery, more features, and ISO 26262–compliant verification. To tackle this, LS Automotive partnered with MathWorks to adopt Model‑Based Design using MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow and related MathWorks tools and services.

Working with MathWorks Consulting Services, LS Automotive modeled and simulated DAU modules, used Simulink Coverage, Simulink Design Verifier and Simulink Test to detect specification and dead‑logic issues early, then generated about 6,000 lines of production C with Embedded Coder for the MPC5601D. The MathWorks‑led approach enabled >80% model reuse, eliminated manual coding errors, produced a DAU that passed initial QA with no flags, and helped shorten schedules while positioning the part for roughly 2 million units in production.
