Over the past decade, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) has dramatically shortened the software delivery cycle by linking dependencies and automating testing. Like software, we can model, test and optimize physical systems to unlock tremendous efficiency gains. Numerous vertically integrated industries/companies have replicated this approach—Formula 1 is a lighthouse example.
In this session Dr. Will Roper will explore how modern software development methodologies can be leveraged to streamline and enhance hardware design processes. This session will cover key principles such as modularity, abstraction, and automation, and how these can be applied to hardware development to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and speed up time-to-market.
