CEC Launches 'Connected SynQuest' to Reduce Analysis Effort by 70% for Automotive System Development

CEC Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takashi Himeno; hereinafter 'CEC') will begin providing 'Connected SynQuest (Connected SynQuest),' a time-series data integration monitoring tool that automatically synchronizes signals and video, for embedded automotive development by automotive manufacturers and suppliers starting Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

By automating data synchronization for driving tests, which previously required manual work, CEC contributes to solving key business challenges in the fiercely competitive automotive industry: reducing embedded development costs while simultaneously improving verification efficiency.

Going forward, CEC will expand its business domain from automotive expertise into embedded development as a whole.

■Development Background

In the automotive industry, competition in developing new technologies is intensifying globally due to the advancement of autonomous driving and ADAS※ technologies, as well as the progression toward SDV (Software-Defined Vehicles). As a result, development sites are experiencing a rapid increase in data volume, with growing demands for both 'quality' and 'speed,' making further development efficiency improvements an urgent priority.

Against this backdrop, CEC has developed 'Connected SynQuest' to automate the previously manual alignment of heterogeneous data, enabling driving test data to be rapidly prepared for analysis.

※Abbreviation for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. An advanced driver assistance system that supports driver operations to enhance safety and comfort.

■About 'Connected SynQuest'

'Connected SynQuest' is a time-series data integration monitoring tool that synchronizes vehicle control information (CAN communication) and camera video required for autonomous driving and SDV development, automating the collection and synchronization of log data. By automating synchronization, the tool reduces quality inconsistencies among personnel caused by manual work and reduces workload by up to approximately 70%※, contributing to development efficiency. In the future, CEC aims to expand the range of collectible log data and further automate analysis tasks.

＜Main Features＞

● Eliminates the need for expensive dedicated simulators! Reduces implementation costs by approximately 25% or less

Previously, vehicle simulators used for data collection and analysis were feature-rich but posed challenges in terms of high implementation costs and analysis speed. This tool completes the collection and synchronization of multiple log data obtained from cameras and other sources on a PC, focusing specifically on functions required for driving tests. As a result, implementation costs can be reduced to approximately 25% or less compared to using conventional simulators.

● Instantly retrieve multiple log data! Significantly shorten time to identify root causes of malfunctions!

Camera video allows instant retrieval of CAN communication log data from the same time period. Conversely, communication log data enables retrieval of video from the same time, allowing immediate cross-checking and confirmation of logs around abnormal values with other log data. This significantly reduces the time required to identify malfunction locations.

● Smart recording function extracts only necessary sections! Reduces storage costs

Driving tests generate several hours of data per verification, but actual problem intervals are extremely short. Therefore, the tool includes a function to precisely extract and save only problem intervals, simultaneously achieving storage cost reduction and analysis efficiency.

＜Pricing＞

Annual license fee per license: 330,000 JPY (tax included)※

※Excludes customization costs for proprietary data expansion or viewer changes, and hardware costs (cameras, CAN interfaces).

■Future Outlook

In the automotive industry and manufacturing sectors, the use of AI and data utilization is accelerating. CEC aims to build an environment where driving test data can be accumulated and utilized as data assets. By linking log data collected and integrated through 'Connected SynQuest' with 'Resolana (Resolana),' the data utilization platform that enables AI-Ready※ data monetization under 'Dataxia (Datakushia),' CEC will develop services that solve societal and customer challenges.

Additionally, CEC plans to provide mechanisms to integrate 'Connected SynQuest' with customers' existing in-house systems.

※A state in which an organization is prepared to safely and continuously utilize AI.

■About 'Dataxia'

'Dataxia' is CEC's original brand aiming to enhance social significance and create business value through data and AI. 'Resolana,' provided under 'Dataxia,' is a data utilization platform that integrates and manages corporate information in a cloud environment to promote data utilization.
