instrumentation & test systems ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD – ENHANCED EFFICIENCY ON THE TEST BED How can you achieve maximum efficiency on the test bed? It is easy, just combine the unique AVL PUMA Open 2™ automation software with the revolutionary AVL ActiveLink™ interface technology. When it comes to optimum test bed operation, every powertrain developer faces the same challenges: increasing time and cost pressure, longer run-times and test cycles due to ever more complex testing requirements. In addition, OEMs frequently find it difficult to keep track of the huge amounts of data and to cope with the growing complexity in vehicle development. Moreover, modern test beds must allow simple and, most importantly, smooth integration of measurement devices. 2 8 F O C U S AVL has been working on and fulfilling these and numerous other powertrain development challenges for many decades. By uniquely combining AVL PUMA Open 2™ and ActiveLink™ – a revolutionary interface technology – the Grazbased technology company has now succeeded in adding a whole range of innovative functionalities to the test solution, making development work on the test bed a genuine usability experience. USABILITY IS KEY! When AVL started to bring automation software to the next level four years ago, the goals were clearly set: “Highest priority was to make testbed operation even more effective and easier than it was at that time,” explained Werner Fuchs, Head of Product Management and Operations at AVL, “so we decided to develop the solution in close cooperation with key customers. We managed to shift a series of activities – such as > Cutting-edge usability for new and experienced users.
