The continuity between individual components form a highly efficient information chain from development to test facilities, making an important contribution to increasing the efficiency of the overall development process. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Enhanced utilization of testbeds (according to an AVL study, an average potential increase of 20 percentage points) • Optimization of the productive test time • Reduced time and costs for administrative activities due to central data management • Fast response times due to remote monitoring of the entire test facility TASK Over the past twenty years, the focus of test technology development for engines and powertrains has been on technical enhancements in measurement technology, automation and control. With regard to functionality, user guidance, stability and performance of test systems, decisive steps have been taken and the test methodology has developed and has been continuously enhanced. However, within the framework of the race for increased productivity, shorter development times and lower costs, the pressure to develop new synergies between human beings and systems (interaction in complex and heterogeneous system environments) is increasing. Test information management, the handling of data and information at all levels, plays an increasingly important role. A significant productivity gain in testbed utilization can be achieved by integrating all test systems in a central data management system, minimising delays and downtimes at the testbed. Another efficiency factor is optimising the workflow throughout the entire test operation to prevent unnecessary losses of time or quality. Test facilities require flexible systems that can adapt continuously to the employees’ working environment and at the same time guarantee smooth performance of all standard tasks. An unique balancing of standardization and flexibility is the key to increased productivity and reduced stress for all employees. / 232
