HARMAN Joins SDVerse Marketplace

The transformation toward software-defined vehicles requires streamlined procurement channels and transparent supply chains to manage development complexity. HARMAN, an automotive technology leader and subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., has joined SDVerse to offer its portfolio of automotive software and engineering services through a centralized B2B marketplace. This cooperation addresses the industry need for efficient technology discovery, evaluation, and integration across the vehicle development lifecycle.

Technical Solution and Division of Responsibilities
The SDVerse marketplace operates as a digital platform connecting original equipment manufacturers with established technology suppliers. HARMAN acts as the solution provider, supplying a comprehensive range of software products and engineering assets, while SDVerse maintains the underlying B2B marketplace infrastructure that facilitates discovery and comparison.

The available portfolio encompasses diverse technical domains. Software products include the Ready Link Marketplace for white-label app stores, the Ready CQuence Loop cloud-based development and validation platform, the Ready CQuence Run type-1 hypervisor for domain controllers, and the Ready Care in-cabin sensing system. Engineering assets feature production-ready intelligent cockpit middleware, automated human-machine interface design tools, and automated software verification frameworks utilizing over 70,000 reusable test assets.

Implementation and Integration
Integration occurs digitally through the SDVerse platform, where automakers evaluate software capabilities and connect directly with engineering experts. The deployment model supports cloud-based development, early software validation without physical hardware, and integration across digital cockpits, advanced driver-assistance systems, and infotainment units. Automakers utilize these solutions to streamline software procurement, shorten development cycles, and integrate pre-validated components into existing engineering workflows.

Applications and Operational Impact
Target application areas include commercial vehicle manufacturing, digital cockpit development, and automotive software integration. Concrete use cases involve virtual software validation, automated code generation from design interfaces, and continuous lifecycle management. Operational benefits include reduced development complexity, accelerated production readiness, improved software quality through standardized validation frameworks, and enhanced in-vehicle safety features.
