Ibis Unveils New Automotive Data Platform ‘Alton 2.0’

## The Core of Future Mobility, Ibis 'Alton 2.0' Leads the Era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) With the advent of the SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) era, the complexity of vehicle software is increasing daily, posing new challenges for developers. To address these challenges, Ibis, a company specializing in in-vehicle mobility software, has unveiled its next-generation in-vehicle data platform, 'Alton 2.0,' to the world, drawing significant attention from the future mobility market. Unveiled at the 'IAA Mobility 2025' global mobility exhibition, successfully held in Munich, Germany, from September 9th to 14th, Alton 2.0 holds the key to realizing Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). This innovative platform standardizes and abstracts the vast electronic control unit (ECU) signals within a vehicle, helping to systematically manage complex systems and efficiently build reusable platform software. Alton's inherent strength lies in clearly structuring various vehicle functions in terms of logical relationships between signals and functional modules. Building upon the successful foundation of the existing Alton, which has already been applied to global automakers and proven its outstanding practicality with cumulative mass production results of over 3 million units, Alton 2.0 has evolved further. It has significantly enhanced global universality and international standard compatibility, and notably features the addition of an innovative 'logic code automation' function to maximize development efficiency. This can be seen as the culmination of Ibis's long-standing technological expertise and accurate understanding of market demands. Alton 2.0's core engine is SFL (Signal & Function Logic). This is a model-based development tool that automatically converts functional logic designed based on in-vehicle ECU signals into software code. The introduction of SFL frees developers from the shackles of repetitive and time-consuming manual coding, allowing them to focus solely on the essential tasks of 'design' and 'function implementation'. This dramatically boosts development productivity and significantly reduces potential errors that can occur during manual processes. It is perfectly applicable to the development of highly complex systems such as digital clusters, allowing for free development, modification, and reuse of vehicle function modules, thereby shortening development cycles and facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, Alton 2.0 fully supports VSS (Vehicle Signal Specification), a standard vehicle signal model established by the international standardization body COVESA. Through its VSS automatic conversion function and Logic Coder plugin, it can automatically generate optimized code for various platforms and programming languages, providing a true global standard software development environment. This serves as a strong foundation for automakers and component manufacturers worldwide to easily adopt and utilize Ibis's solutions. Nam Ki-mo, CEO of Ibis, emphasized, "As the era of future mobility approaches, the complexity of vehicle software is increasing exponentially, inevitably demanding systematic and efficient development methods." He added, "Alton 2.0, a data platform that maximizes development efficiency with its overwhelming automation capabilities and solidifies its universality in the global market through the incorporation of international standards, will be a core solution leading the future mobility era," expressing strong aspirations. At this exhibition, Ibis directly demonstrated Alton 2.0's innovative features at its booth, Hall B2, Stand D120, in the Munich exhibition center, receiving immense interest and anticipation from mobility professionals worldwide. Alton 2.0 is expected to open new horizons in vehicle software development for the SDV era and contribute to building a safer and more efficient future mobility environment.
