The range of applications covers endurance testing, engine development, emissions / 186 testing, component testing and electric motor testing, driveline testing as well as racing and vehicle testing. The further development of the platform is driven by a continuous dialogue with our customers and close cooperation with dedicated beta customers to ensure bestin class products. Whether for global OEMs or local medium-sized companies, our philosophy supports efficiency during test operation. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • All testbed configurations and all test applications on one common platform – resulting in lower maintenance, operating, and training costs • Integrated concepts for front-loading in the overall vehicle development process to cut development time and A and B correspond to C and D, respectively time-to-market • Using the AVL PUMA Open Test Run Library significantly reduces the time to prepare tests and helps to reduce the number of test runs by creating customer standards • High level of automation and integration – the requirement for unmanned operation • Global operations without language barriers: user interfaces available in English, German, French, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Korean TASK Currently, global concerns about climate change and environmental protection are the main drivers of development in the automotive industry. The dynamics of emission legislation and changing customer preferences, topics like increasing efficiency and new drive concepts are increasingly important. Automation systems have to take into account these trends by through innovative application solutions, e.g. for exhaust gas testing or for hybrid drives. Providing these solutions primarily requires profound application know-how along with knowledge in the field of automation. Furthermore, along with product properties, factors such as costs, time-to-market and product quality are decisive for the competitiveness within the automotive industry today. Accordingly, testbed automation should produce results characterized by higher levels of quality and repeatability, as well as by the integration – across national borders and between different systems. Unproductive testing procedures should also be minimized. Finally, the best automation system is of no use if it is not available in a reliable manner. Despite continuously changing basic conditions including short product lifecycles in the field of IT, changing functional requirements and the support of numerous test applications to be supported, the systems have to be reliable. This impacts on product quality and delivery dependability as well as maintainability and expandability. Investment security is constantly in focus.
