Highlights of R7.2

Unlock a new level of automation flexibility with Python scripting in PUMA 2 R7.2. As the world’s most widely used programming language, Python gives engineers access to a vast ecosystem of libraries, AI-assisted code generation, and native debugging with tools such as VS Code.

Develop customized automation functions faster, tailor test workflows to your exact requirements, and significantly reduce engineering effort. The intuitive Python environment lowers the learning curve for new team members while enabling advanced capabilities such as statistical analysis, custom data processing, and intelligent workflow automation - helping you accelerate test development and get results faster.

Test More UUTs on Fewer Testbeds

With PUMA 2™ R7.2, multiple Units Under Test can be controlled independently on a single testbed - reducing hardware investiment, lab footprint, operator effort, and downtime. From battery systems and fuel cells to e-motors, braked, inverters, and multi-axle vehicle applications, our automation system covers a wide range ot fest scenarios for maximum asset utilization.

This release sets a new standard for flexibility in modern test environments.

Smarter Automation with Machine Learning

AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 integrates machine learning directly into the automation system, making intelligent testing easier than ever. Models run natively within the test environment, enabling real-time anomaly detection, feature correlation, and AI-powered monitoring. The updated architecture simplifies deployment and removes the need for complex local setups. Advanced analytics are now more accessible - right where testing happens.

Connected and Secure Testfield

AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 enhances collaboration and transparency across distributed testing teams. With web-based remote access through AVL PUMA 2™ Live, users can monitor live data and test execution from virtually anywhere. Centralized parameter and result management ensures consistency across locations, supported by AVL PUMA 2™ Share. The latest release also strengthens IT compliance with full OAuth2 authentication and improved security standards - ensuring your testbed stays protected.

Enhanced I/O and Synchronization

AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 brings greater flexibility to signal handling across complex test environments. UDP communication now supports a wider range of frequencies, and OPC UA integration has been extended to handle calibration curves. Additionally, AVL’s FEM4 modules feature a redesigned graphical editor, offering an an even more intuitive configuration experience. These improvements simplify setup and boost efficiency in data-driven test scenarios.

 

Adapt to Any Setup

AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 is built for flexibility - whether you are testing batteries, e-motors, brakes, fuel cells, or complete vehicles. Its architecture supports diverse configurations and adapts easily to changing requirements. 
 

 

Secure Access to Centralized Data

All configuration and result data is managed centrally, ensuring consistency across teams and testbeds. AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 also meets modern IT standards with secure access and structured role management.
 

 

Predict Issues
Before They Happen  

AVL PUMA 2™ R7.2 uses integrated machine learning to detect anomalies, irregular trends, or critical conditions early - before they escalate. This enables proactive decisions and helps prevent unexpected test interruptions.
