MAXIMUM COMFORT AND USER EXPERIENCE

Comfort functions of the EDAG Group for individual requirements

Comfort functions are at the center of today's driving experience. That is why our focus is on the development of innovative car body and comfort functions. We support the entire development process from the concept phase to series production, placing particular emphasis on the integration of comfort control units and passive safety systems that meet current legal and environmental requirements. 

With a consistently user-centered approach, we seamlessly integrate innovative technologies and intelligent control systems into the vehicle architecture. This is how functions such as individually adjustable seat controls, flexible interior lighting, smart occupant recognition and intuitive climate control systems are created. Through this holistic approach of the EDAG Group, we ensure maximum comfort, increased safety and optimized interaction between user and vehicle – making our solutions an integral part of modern vehicles.

Topic overview


Innovative comfort functions

The EDAG Group develops customized comfort features that significantly enhance the driving experience through ergonomic seat and door controls, advanced climate control, and adaptive interior lighting. Our solutions integrate seamlessly into the vehicle architecture and include technologies such as occupant detection, which is implemented through innovative electronics and intelligent control systems. This is how we ensure maximum comfort, the highest safety standards and intuitive operation – from concept to market launch. 

Solution for comfort functions

  • analysis

      We analyze the requirements for the specific comfort and safety functions as well as occupant detection. On this basis, we develop ergonomic and user-oriented solutions.

  • concept

      Based on this analysis, we create customized concepts for functions such as seat and door controls, air conditioning, and adaptive interior lighting. These are seamlessly integrated into the vehicle architecture and can be operated intuitively.

  • system development

      We use modern electronics and intelligent control systems to implement the concepts in practical solutions. This includes the development of advanced air conditioning systems and lighting systems such as Dynamic Light.

  • validation

      The developed systems are validated through comprehensive testing to ensure security, functionality and user-friendliness. 

  • system production

      Once validation has been successfully completed, series production begins, taking into account all optimizations. This is how we guarantee a long service life and high product quality. 

  • commissioning

      The finished system is integrated into the vehicle environment, finally tested and put into operation for the end user.
