Gloster-Minero Hungary has won a €15 million industrial software development order from Munich-based carmaker BMW, Gloster announced. In the project lasting until 2029, the company will develop its own production management software, the Demand Calculation Services, based on artificial intelligence. The price is 25% higher than the price of a project of the same size and length previously carried out for the same client, according to Portfolio. The price will also be adjusted for inflation three times during the project. A preliminary agreement on the software development contract has already been signed. The software to be developed is a system-critical element of BMW’s global manufacturing processes, and its continued operation is essential to the producer’s global supply chain, hence significant resources are dedicated to its ongoing development.
The importance of the project is enhanced by the fact that Gloster also provides BMW with professional software and infrastructure management services from its development centers in Szeged (southern Hungary), Budapest, and Kecskemét (central Hungary). The company performs its tasks to the highest German industry standards, as certified by the TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) automotive certification.
The artificial intelligence-based resource estimation developed by Gloster engineers in the project, which is still in the experimental phase, is expected to improve the resource estimation for each subtask by up to 30 percent, allowing for a more efficient optimization of development resources. The proprietary solution is fully secure, operating exclusively within Gloster’s internal network, completely isolated from the Internet and other project data, with no client data ever being exposed to the public network.
Gloster will develop the software from global software trading platform the Atlassian Store into an own-brand product that can be purchased with a few clicks.
