Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT), a leading electronic design
automation (EDA) solutions provider, and Aeroconseil, an
established aeronautical services company, are combining forces to
offer their complementary DO-254 solutions and services to the
Chinese aviation market. China is quickly emerging as a key player
in the worldwide aerospace development domain, and likely to see
great benefit from the streamlined process for DO-254 compliance
provided by Mentor and Aeroconseil.
RTCA/DO-254 “Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic
Hardware” is a standard that is currently being enforced by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), Chinese Airworthiness Authority of Certification
(CAAC) and other worldwide aviation certification agencies. The
purpose of DO-254 is to ensure the safety of in-flight hardware.
Compliance to DO-254 can be very costly. Keys to reducing this cost
include proper knowledge and preparation, frequent communication
with certification authorities, thorough planning, and choosing the
right industry partners for consulting services and design
automation tools.
“Mentor has been investing heavily in understanding and meeting
the needs of the DO-254 market for the last several years,” said
Michelle Lange, Mentor Graphics DO-254 Program Manager. “Our
industry involvement has enabled us to not only educate our
customers but to tailor our solutions to the specific needs of
DO-254 compliance. No other EDA vendor offers the breadth of
solutions or the targeted features that Mentor can. We are pleased
to see our efforts resulting in improved design efficiencies and
program cost savings for so many companies.”
“We have been collaborating about DO-254 for many years in
Europe, inside the DO-254 User Group and also for common
customers,” said Lionel Burgaud, Aeroconseil Certification Business
Development Manager. “In this context, no point tool has a real
added value if not inserted into development and verification
strategies and processes that the customer must define and present
to certification authorities. So far, Mentor is the only tool
vendor company who addresses DO-254 as a global challenge. We are
proud to be the DO-254 experts they recommend in China where we see
many companies looking for good solutions and expertise for process
improvement.”
“Aeroconseil experts recently helped us improve our processes to
make them compliant with DO-254 objectives. Some of our activities
required by DO-254 are performed using the Mentor tools, so we have
practical experience with the added value that this
partnership represents for a customer,” said Mrs. Tian Lirong,
Professor at ACTRI (Aeronautics Computing Technique Research
Institute). “It is also good to have Aeroconseil training
AcconSys engineers on DO-254, which will give customers like
us the opportunity to have first class support for tool usage in
our future DO-254 projects.”
AcconSys, Mentor Graphics’ Chinese distributor for over seven
years, is leading the local effort to supply companies with
solutions that aid with DO-254 compliance. “Over the last year, we
have seen a number of companies struggling with questions of DO-254
compliance,” said Frank Xiao, Technical Director of AcconSys. “We
are pleased that we can now offer our customers a broader solution
that includes not only the industry’s best tools for DO-254
projects, but also the expert training and services of
Aeroconseil.”
Mentor, Aeroconseil, and AcconSys are launching a series of
DO-254-focused events in the fall, including training, seminars,
and workshops. For more information on DO-254, Mentor Graphics
