Every successful implementation starts with a clear understanding of your product context. In this phase, we work closely with your engineering team to map out:

• Your product architecture:
  How your system is structured today, including control layers, hardware platforms, and integration points.
• Your development workflow:
  How your team models, tests, versions, and delivers embedded software—and where bottlenecks or inconsistencies exist.
• Integration needs:
  Toolchain compatibility, Simulink usage, variant handling, safety requirements, deployment targets, and expected scalability.

This step ensures that MATIAS is implemented in a way that aligns seamlessly with your existing engineering processes, while setting clear expectations for improvement and future growth.

Once the use case is aligned, we integrate MATIAS into your existing toolchain and modeling environment. This includes:

• Importing the MATIAS framework into your repository or project baseline
• Configuring layers, signal routing, and templates based on your product needs
• Setting up version control and project conventions for clean collaboration
• Providing focused training for your engineering and architecture teams

The onboarding sessions are hands on and technical. Engineers learn how to work with the structure, how to build their functions within the framework, and how to apply the modeling rules that guarantee uniformity and maintainability.

By the end of this phase, your team is fully equipped to start building features within the MATIAS architecture.

To make adoption low risk and highly predictable, we apply MATIAS to a targeted subsystem or control function. This pilot serves multiple purposes:

• Validating the architectural fit:
  Ensuring MATIAS integrates cleanly with your hardware abstraction, timing structure, I/O mapping, and control loops.
• Verifying development workflow:
  From modeling to simulation, code generation, testing, and review.
• Testing runtime behavior:
  Including configurable mode switching and fault handling logic.
• Gathering feedback from your engineers:
  What works well? What needs tuning? Which structural elements provide the most value?

This controlled first deployment gives your team the confidence to continue, while also ensuring that MATIAS truly supports your product’s technical and operational requirements.

After a successful pilot, we expand MATIAS across your product or system architecture. This can include:

• Additional functions or control loops:
  Reusing the same architectural structure for consistent implementation.
• New hardware platforms or variants:
  Leveraging the predefined layering for smooth transitions without major refactoring.
• Multiple product lines or engineering teams:
  Ensuring consistency across the organization and reducing duplicated effort.

To support long term adoption, we offer:

• Ongoing support for framework usage
• Updates and improvements aligned with new development needs
• Best practice guidance as your team develops more complex functions
• Optional coaching or architectural reviews to maintain quality over time

The result is a scalable, maintainable, and predictable development environment that keeps your embedded software clean, flexible, and ready for future evolution.
