New Whitepaper: Unlock Development Efficiency with Sleeve’s Edge-to-Cloud Remote Access

April 25, 2025

We’re excited to announce the release of our latest whitepaper: How Sleeve Streamlines Remote Access and Boosts Development Efficiency with Edge-to-Cloud. Discover how our innovative solution, is revolutionizing remote access for development teams and enhancing their efficiency through seamless edge-to-cloud integration.

Managing a large fleet of test vehicles in modern automotive development is a complex and challenging task. Engineers must contend with physical prototypes spread across test sites, each filled with prototypical electronic control units (ECUs), data loggers and other development infrastructure. Gaining remote access to these in-vehicle devices is difficult, and many tasks still require an engineer to be physically present with the car. As a result, routine actions like deploying new software builds, updating configurations and firmware or retrieving logged data from vehicles are often inefficient. These traditional, manual processes do not scale well – for example, managing thousands of test cars with diverse prototype and development devices becomes cumbersome due to disparate multi-vendor interfaces and manual workflows. In practice, teams frequently resort to driving vehicles back to a garage or shipping equipment around, which introduces delays and operational overhead.

This inefficiency in current test fleet management not only slows down development cycles but also drives up cost. Time spent traveling to vehicles or waiting for data could be better used in analysis and development. Moreover, as automotive software development accelerates, the gap between rapid software iteration and slow, in-person hardware access is widening. There is a clear need for a solution that allows engineers to remotely access and manage physical test assets just as easily as they manage software – bridging the distance between developer, test fleet manager and vehicle. This whitepaper introduces Sleeve as that solution, showing how it enables seamless remote fleet device management for Cariad’s testing operations. We will explore the challenges in the current process, detail Sleeve’s technical approach (via an in-car Sleeve Dock and cloud-based Sleeve Hub), and demonstrate the improvements in efficiency, collaboration, and cost savings that result.
