Smart Climate Control
Fast, flexible, and scalable climate control—one software platform for all architectures
Delivering a Relaxed, Safe, and Personalized Climate Experience Across Every Journey
Smart Climate Control is AUO Mobility Solutions’ configurable climate control software platform, built on more than 25 years of automotive climate control expertise. Designed to create a relaxed, safe, and personalized in vehicle environment, it delivers consistent comfort across diverse driving conditions and vehicle segments.
Vehicle climate systems are inherently complex, spanning multiple zones, sensors, actuators, and energy constraints. Our solution addresses this complexity by standardizing climate control through software configuration rather than vehicle specific customization, scaling seamlessly from compact vehicles to premium and luxury models.
By integrating comprehensive climate sensing, intelligently developed control algorithms, and a modular software architecture, Climate Control ensures energy efficient, noise optimized operation. Vehicle occupants can easily adjust climate settings to individual preferences, while OEMs benefit from reduced development effort, faster integration, and consistent, production ready deployment across global programs.
Why AUO Mobility Solutions
Smart Climate Control Software
Configurable Climate Intelligence
AUO Mobility Solutions’ Smart Climate Control is a configuration driven software platform that replaces code heavy climate development with a scalable, productized approach.
It delivers optimal climate comfort across vehicle segments—including EVs and heat pump systems—using pre engineered, modular algorithms adapted through configuration rather than code. With standardized interfaces and automated specification, software, and testing, OEMs benefit from reduced development effort, a six week time to first delivery, and AI driven adaptive comfort at lower cost.
Made for every vehicle. Independent of architecture
Intelligence that elevates every drive—where virtual sensing, adaptive climate control, and energy optimizing algorithms work together to deliver smarter, more personalized comfort across diverse vehicle types and architectures. A hardware agnostic, software defined approach enables seamless integration with different platforms, sensors, and actuators, ensuring consistent performance across passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and specialized applications.
Individual Comfort Powered by AI
Adaptive Climate
The Adaptive Climate module uses AI-based methods to recognize individual comfort preferences and personalize the climate experience for each passenger. By combining measurable environmental conditions with multiple data sources and machine-learning algorithms, the system continuously adapts climate behavior to individual needs — creating a more comfortable, intelligent, and personalized journey. At the same time, OEMs benefit from a scalable software solution that reduces calibration effort, supports faster development, helps minimize test drives, and enables differentiated comfort experiences across vehicle platforms.
Replace Hardware with Intelligent Software
Virtual Sensors
Virtual Sensors use neural networks to digitally reconstruct measurement data that would normally require dedicated physical sensors, such as discharge air temperature. By replacing or supplementing hardware sensors with software-based signals, Smart Climate Control helps reduce system complexity, lower costs, and improve passenger comfort. In addition, Virtual Sensors can provide sensor values in areas where physical sensors are not feasible, not cost-effective, or not intended by design, enabling more detailed climate information without additional hardware.
Flexible Comfort for Every Vehicle Interior
Comfort Functions
Smart Climate Control enables individual comfort settings for different vehicle interiors and multiple climate-controlled zones. Dedicated comfort algorithms regulate air volume, temperature, and air distribution to create a pleasant in-cabin environment for every passenger. Through parameter-based configuration, the system can be quickly adapted to specific vehicle concepts and comfort strategies — combining passenger well-being with efficient energy use.
One Software Platform for Efficient Climate Control
Thermal Management
Smart Climate Control Thermal Management is configurable for different vehicle architectures and thermal circuit layouts. The system provides heating and cooling capacity for the vehicle interior as well as energy-consuming components such as the battery and other connected systems. Based on efficient operating modes and OEM-specific strategies, it determines how thermal energy can be generated, distributed, or reused in the most effective way. This enables fast and optimized heating or cooling, supports efficient preconditioning, and helps reduce overall energy demand.
Products
Software as Product
Our software is delivered as a fully integrated product directly onto your target system, providing maximum flexibility, control, and independence. You benefit from seamless integration into your existing system landscape as well as from individually adaptable interfaces and functionalities. Development is carried out in accordance with Automotive SPICE Level 2, including systematic verification and testing on the target system. This ensures that our software is not only compliant with standards, but also robust, maintainable, and designed for series production applications.
Climate Panels
The company develops and manufactures high‑quality climate control panels for automotive applications – ranging from simple, functional solutions to highly complex premium panels for multi‑zone climate systems. These solutions combine precise climate control with exceptionally intuitive and comfortable operation. Modern displays, well‑designed haptics, and clear user interfaces ensure that climate functions can be adjusted quickly, safely, and intuitively. The panels are designed for various vehicle classes and system architectures and can be flexibly integrated into modern cockpit concepts.
Power Electronics
Next to algorithms and sensors, electric auxiliary heaters and blower controllers play a significant role in vehicle climate control. They are among the high-power consumers in the power electronics sector. This makes it even more important to control them efficiently and intelligently on a top-quality level. Depending on the temperature and air flow requirements, blowers and electric auxiliary heaters can be adapted smoothly to the respective conditions using BHTC power electronics.
Climate Sensors: the sensory organs of climate control
Sensors supply the input signals for controlling the level of climate comfort. Sensible and robust detection of ambient conditions forms the basis for perfect climate control. The best example of BHTC's pioneering role is the ITOS® non-ventilated interior temperature sensor which, as the world market leader, the company has been using in series since 2002 and is now in its third generation.
Black-box Climate Control Unit
The black-box as standard for modern climate control in cross-vehicle platforms. BHTC algorithms stored in the black-box ensure individual climate comfort in your vehicle. Produced millions of times, BHTC black box expertise forms a mainstay within the product portfolio. Customers around the world include General Motors, Renault/Nissan, Daimler and Porsche.
