Simplify EV Test Bench Automation

​Electric vehicles (EVs) bring new test challenges. As the demand for EVs grows globally, automakers must effectively scale their testing capabilities to meet production needs. Scaling requires a higher standardization to ensure consistent quality across different brands, models, and geographies. Software and data are at the core of any scalable test solution that increases automation, improves efficiency, and optimizes lab operations, to meet the demand for safe and reliable EV components. ​​

 

  • ​​​Increase testing efficiency by streamlining test bench automation and reducing time and resources required to perform testing procedures

  • ​​​Reduce the risk of human error and improve accuracy and reliability of the test results  

  • ​Improve product design, reduce testing cycles, and drive insights from test with efficient data logging and analysis

  • ​Scale testing capabilities to meet production needs as demand for EVs grows​​
