Vistiana is a technology company that specializes in offering custom technology solutions. They have a mature product portfolio in the cockpit domain and have begun to explore the electric vehicle space, including battery management systems, power electronics, and battery disconnect. Vistiana has also launched global programs with automakers on electric vehicle battery management systems. In the last two years, the company has had to manage the disruption of the semiconductor storm, but have since managed it with relationships with SOCs and other companies.
Electronic manufacturers have been heavily engaged in producing electronics, resulting in a better understanding of the value stream and supply chain. Going forward, there needs to be more collaboration, transparency, and synergy between tier one and customers to create better visibility and supply chain management. Additionally, automakers are aiming to have a connected relationship with their consumers, creating an opportunity for the cockpit electronics to create a platform for third-party applications and generate revenue.
