The range of applications covers endurance testing, engine development, emissions testing, component testing and electric motor testing, driveline testing all the way to racing and vehicle testing. The further development of the platform is driven by a continuous dialog with our customers and close cooperation with dedicated beta customers to ensure best in-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 down development time and respectively time-to-market • Using the AVL PUMA Open Test Run Library significantly reduces the time to prepare tests and helps to decrease the number of test runs by enabling 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, protection of the climate and global concern about the environment are the main drivers of development in the automotive industry. On the basis of the dynamics within emissions legislation and due to changed customer preferences, topics like increasing efficiency and new drive concepts are increasingly important. Automation systems have to take into account these trends by means of innovative application solutions, e.g. for exhaust gas testing or for hybrid drives. Providing these solutions first and foremost requires profound application know-how along with knowledge in the field of automation. Furthermore, along with the product properties, the factors of costs, time-to-market and product quality are decisive for the competitiveness within the automotive industry today. Accordingly, testbed automation has to support the production of results characterized by higher levels of quality and repeatability, integration of the testing procedure – across national borders and between different systems as well as minimization of unproductive procedures. Finally, the best automation system is of no use if it is not available in a reliable manner. Despite continuously changing basic condi- tions, short product lifecycles in the field of IT, changing functional requirements and numerous test applications to be supported, the systems have to be reliable. This concerns product quality and delivery dependability as well as maintainability and expandability. Investment security is constantly in focus. / 182
