Orbitsys DMS leverages its cloud-based platform, allowing centralisation of data and remote access to tackle connectivity and data hurdles in the automotive industry.

As the world relies more on technology and data to tackle different situations or to streamline processes, loopholes exist inevitably. Orbitsys leverages its cloud-based platform, allowing centralisation of data along with remote access for the automotive industry to tackle dealerships and hurdles.

“We tackle connectivity and data hurdles in the automotive industry by offering a cloud-based platform. This allows dealerships and OEMs to centralise data, which eliminates scattered systems, creating a single source of trusted data for customer and vehicle information. Moreover, accessing data remotely enables secure, role-based and real-time data visibility across multiple locations, improving decision-making,” informed Harvinder Pal Singh, Chief Business Officer, Orbitsys DMS.

The software services company also tackles challenges pertaining to supply chain management by leveraging cloud-based tools that monitor performance in real-time. “We optimise supply chain management by providing tools for efficient inventory management, order tracking and supplier collaboration. The platform enables companies to monitor supply chain performance in real-time, identify bottlenecks and make data-driven decisions to improve efficiency and reduce costs,” said Singh.

However, in this rapidly changing landscape of digitisation, data security has assumed an important position. Commenting on ensuring data security and privacy in its application, Singh said, “We prioritise data security and privacy in our solutions for the automotive sector by implementing robust security measures such as encryption, access controls and regular security audits by industry-leading security partners. The platform ensures that customer data is protected against unauthorised access and adheres to industry standards and regulations for data privacy.”

Furthermore, as Orbitsys is an ISO certified company, it conducts regular audits and updates the solutions to comply with statutory requirements, ensuring that customers can confidently use their services while meeting regulatory obligations.

When asked how Orbitsys’ technology enhances efficiency and productivity in automotive production and distribution processes, Singh explained, “We improve order accuracy by leveraging real-time customer orders and vehicle inventory data of dealerships that can be shared with manufacturers, enabling them to adjust production plans and reduce the risk of overstocking or understocking at dealerships. Customers can be provided estimated arrival times and updates on vehicle delivery periods. Moreover, efficient service at dealerships, facilitated by our system, can lead to quicker turnaround times for repairs and maintenance, potentially reducing warranty claims and improving customer satisfaction.”

Digital solutions

Some of the specific solutions and services offered by Orbitsys include customer relationship management systems.

German technology company Elektrobit is set to showcase innovations focused on creating the ‘right-sized’ software-defined vehicle (SDV) at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company will address the industry challenge of balancing innovation, scalability and affordability as vehicle complexity and development costs rise.

The demonstrations, located at the Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall, will provide insights into strategies for reducing SDV development complexity and accelerating the process of bringing next-generation vehicles to market.

Elektrobit will feature several technologies designed to streamline SDV creation and performance:

• Linux for Safety Systems: The EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications will be demonstrated with a safety-certifiable cockpit by Telechips. This exhibit shows how open-source innovation and functional safety can be combined for real-time performance in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS).
• Automated Integration: A platform highlighting API-based extensions across Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery/Continuous Testing (CI/CD/CT) workflows. It uses intelligent tooling, including AI-assisted automation, to automate configuration, scripting and test case creation for faster, higher-quality software delivery.
• SDV Cockpit Solutions: Solutions range from virtual low-code design tools to a modular, safety-certified automotive Operating System (OS) and ready-to-integrate hardware platforms, all designed to accelerate the creation of vehicle experiences.
• Smart EV Platform: A modular software and hardware platform co-developed with Foxconn aims to bring SDVs to market faster and more cost-effectively. It delivers the core vehicle control units and software platform without supplier lock-in.

Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit, will participate in the CES 2026 conference program. She is scheduled to speak on the Smart Rides panel on 8 January 2026.

BorgWarner is significantly expanding its partnership with Great Wall Motor by securing two new electrified propulsion projects, building upon two previously announced dual inverter programmes. These new initiatives are scheduled to enter mass production in 2026. A cornerstone of this collaboration is BorgWarner's advanced dual inverter technology, which utilises a highly integrated design. This single unit can simultaneously control and drive two motors, offering superior packaging flexibility and easier installation for vehicle manufacturers.

The technology's sophistication is underscored by its use of a power module with double-sided cooling and the latest Viper power switches. This configuration can reduce thermal resistance by as much as 50 percent compared to conventional single-sided cooling, leading to a substantial increase in power density. Furthermore, the design allows different semiconductor dies to be packaged within identically sized modules, ensuring compliance with China's stringent CLTC efficiency standards. The system also incorporates adaptive battery voltage regulation, which broadens the motor's high-efficiency operating range to improve overall performance.

Emphasising flexibility, BorgWarner employs a platform-based design that adapts to various hybrid vehicle architectures. For the newly awarded projects, the HEV version of the dual inverter integrates a DC/DC converter and offers an optional voltage boost module. In contrast, the PHEV variant is designed without these components. This modular strategy provides manufacturers with critical adaptability, enabling faster product development cycles while simultaneously reducing both design and production costs.

Dr Stefan Demmerle, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems, said, “BorgWarner’s technical expertise in electrification and dual inverter products has earned Great Wall Motor’s continued confidence. The extension of this collaboration not only reflects recognition of our products and technologies but also underscores our strong commitment to supporting our customers’ new energy strategies. We will remain dedicated to accelerating their electrified vehicle portfolio.”
