Today Panasonic Automotive Systems has announced an OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 conferment program. As a leading Tier 1 automotive supplier, Panasonic Automotive Systems is at the forefront of both using and effectively managing open source technology.
“During the certification process, we worked to improve the reliability of our OSS usage and products by structuring OSS utilization processes and building a highly secure management system.” said Masashige Mizuyama, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Panasonic Automotive Systems. “We have actively contributed to the industry by promoting the standardization and open-sourcing of VirtIO, an open-source virtualization technology. Taking this certification as an opportunity, we will continue to provide high-quality and highly reliable solutions leveraging OSS, and contribute to the expansion and sustainable growth of the open source ecosystem in the in-vehicle device industry.”
“We are delighted to welcome Panasonic Automotive Systems into our community of conformance,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Adoption of OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 has been exceptional across the automotive supply chain, and the influence and inspiration provided by Tier 1 adoption cannot be overstated.
