beLow serves as a dynamic tool for developers, aiding them in identifying and maximising their code’s optimisation potential throughout their development process. The enhancements achieved through beLow, particularly in execution speed and energy consumption, lead to more efficient systems and extended battery life. These improvements are vital for the future of electric and autonomous mobility, aligning with the impending ecological challenges.

beLow offers a practical solution to the ever-increasing complexity of code in embedded software. In an age dominated by 'Big Code', applications and codes are expanding in size and complexity. Embedded systems are not exempt from this trend, adding layers of complexity to developers' tasks and increasing the risk of project delays. About 51% of developers report handling code volumes over 100 times larger than a decade ago, and 92% feel pressure to accelerate software releases. In this challenging environment, WedoLow’s beLow emerges as a crucial tool, enabling swift diagnostics and checks to ensure code optimization and identify potential gains in performance and energy efficiency.

This innovation is particularly vital for the automotive industry. The industry has seen a substantial rise in the use of embedded software, from the introduction of ABS systems over 40 years ago to the current complex software for ADAS, autonomous driving, and in-vehicle infotainment. With individual software projects' complexity surging by 300% in the last decade, vehicle manufacturers are in dire need of solutions like beLow to manage the growing code complexity while balancing efficiency and performance. WedoLow’s software eco-design solution also addresses the energy consumption challenges arising from the increasing electrification of vehicles.

beLow operates as a software suite, enabling developers to dissect code structures and pinpoint areas for rewriting to enhance efficiency and performance. It serves as a comprehensive guide for developers, allowing them to determine and quantify their code’s optimisation potential at any development stage and swiftly produce an optimised code with a suite of continuously evolving optimisation techniques.

Already validated through several proofs of concept in embedded and hosted applications, WedoLow has demonstrated its effectiveness in major industrial groups. Gains include a 23% increase in execution speed for vehicle transmission system sensor signal filtering, a 95% boost in data processing and signal filtering, and a 72% enhancement in execution speed for a signal processing application, cutting energy consumption by half – extending battery life by several days for a battery-powered submarine robot.

Having made its mark in the embedded software industry, hosted software in servers and the Cloud is the next target. A test with an aerospace group on satellite image processing reduced energy consumption by 18%, translating to nearly half a ton of CO2-equivalent emissions saved.

A sneak peek of this market-unique solution is presented at this year’s CES, with its commercial launch planned for Q2 2024.
