Technical
center India (TCI) is a part of Delphi's global competency
that links its engineering structure and resources around
the globe. The Bangalore centre complements Delphi's strong
manufacturing base in the Asia Pacific region. Delphi also
has technical centers in Japan, Korea and Singapore in the
Asia Pacific region. The center operates as a node on Delphi's
global network, enabling virtual program teams to support
customer programs around the world. For example, the software
developed at TCI, Bangalore, for a piece of engine control
hardware designed in America might be manufactured in Singapore
and sold to a customer in Korea. |

Divisions represented at the center include Delphi Electronics
& Safety, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems, Delphi
Thermal Systems, Delphi Steering Systems and Delphi Research
and Development. |
Technical Capabilities
Technical Center India is second largest software development facility
of Delphi. TCI, works at the cutting edge of Embedded Software for
electronic control systems such as petrol and diesel engine controllers,
antilock brakes, radios, instrument clusters, mobile multimedia,
forewarn systems, remote keyless entry and air control systems.
Software competency at this center is complemented with the development
of additional skill sets that include systems development, mechanical
analysis, electrical analysis, manufacturing test software development
and Medical electronics. The Center also plays a critical role in
providing embedded software systems for many of Delphi's fastest
growing product lines such as diesel common rail engine management
systems and advanced mobile multimedia systems.
TCI, has the largest Mechanical analysis group in Delphi. The Mechanical
Engineering and Analysis (MEA) Competency performs a wide variety
of engineering analysis like Stress, Vibration and Dynamics, Injection
Mold flow and Thermal Analysis to assist in the mechanical design
of components and systems.
Several types of structural analysis for products such as plastic
snaps, circuit board deflection, and solder joints can be performed.
The analysis tools can analyze a given boundary value problem, where
a part is subjected to certain constraints and loaded, for various
parameters of interest such as displacements, stresses and strains.
The Mechanical Analysis Team at TCI is now an integral part of
Product Design Process of Delphi. To complement our analysis work,
we have established LAB with test equipments like Vibration Shaker,
Microscope, Thermal Chamber, Thermal Imaging camera, Strain gauge
system, UTM and perform tests for compliance with Product Reliability
specifications.
Electrical Design and Analysis (EDA) competency is involved in
development, analysis and simulation of electrical models for
components, circuit and systems apart from developing/ deploying
analysis tools and techniques for various product lines. These
are used by product line Electrical Engineers during Product development.
Our Electrical Analysis team at TCI is integral part of Delphi's
global EDA group.
Fuel Handling Product Engineering competency is involved in Design
and Development of Fuel Pump Modules for two wheelers and four
wheelers, for Indian and Global automotive applications. This
competency is also responsible for Re-engineering and Competitive
Analysis of Fuel Pump Modules. In addition they also perform testing
and validation of products to ensure life and reliability . Delphi
ensures a higher degree of support and customer satisfaction by
having a closer proximity to the Indian and Asia Pacific Automotive
customers.
TCI has ongoing research tie-ups with Indian Institute of Science
in the areas of Mechanical Analysis, DSP etc. TCI also has tie-ups
with selected few institutions for student projects in Wireless
(DSP, Speech recognition), web based technology applications and
Business process workflow areas.
Considering the ever increasing
demand for innovation and continual improvement, TCI is aggressively
pursuing opportunities in Powertrain Mount applications, Gas and
Diesel EMS applications, ABS applications, Electromagnetic Analysis
and CAD/CAM /CAE are a few to mention. The state-of-the-art center
is expected to contribute over US$ 25 million to the region's economy. |
