PUMA Open Test Bed AutomationAVL PUMA Open is more than just a high performance test bed automation system. PUMA Open is a management system offering an effective increase in productivity for test bed operations.
AVL PUMA Open is AVL´s application-oriented test bed automation system. Based on the core functionality required for all applications, PUMA Open is configured in scaleable, application-oriented packages.
The ARTE™ high performance real-time system guarantees optimum control precision, precisely synchronised data acquisition and storage, minimum response time and rapid calculation.
Of course, PUMA Open stays open, meaning that the customer can always upgrade his package and thus achieve greater functionality. One only needs one platform for all test beds, meaning continuity for operation, data exchange and archiving, with the result that test bed personnel are capable of operating every test bed.

Time saving and standardizationWith PUMA Open Test Run Libraries, the time for setup and maintenance of test runs is dramatically reduced. The degree of standardization rises while the number of test runs drops
Integration of best-in-class toolsSeamless integration of software tools and hardware devices via open interfaces (MS VBScript, Matlab/Simulink, Configural Device Interface) and support of industry standards (e.g.: ASAM)
Maximize testbed productive timeParameterization and result evaluation shifted to the office through centralisation of data management
24-h fully automated testingUnmanned testbed operation with remote monitoring. Proven reliability of more than 1100 PUMA Open installations (>4000 PUMA systems in total)
Testing on a common platformAll configurations (engine, powertrain, transmission and vehicle) and all applications (R&D, endurance, emission testing, QA, ECU calibration and racing) on a common platform ensure reduced maintenance and training effort
Safe investmentCutting edge functionality developed according to high quality standards (CMMI Level 2) and integrating the latest technologies
Talking your languageWorldwide testing guaranteed by local support in technical centres and localised user-interfaces in English, German, French, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Russian |
