Test systems and their integration into buildings are becoming increasingly complex. In addition, it is becoming more difficult to coordinate and control the interfaces between the various disciplines. The departments that drive these issues at our customers have been downsized in recent years due to cost-cutting in non-core areas.
Brick-and-Mortar Solution
We distinguish between brick-and-mortar and modular construction projects. In the case of brick-and-mortar projects, which are built on site using the classic concrete construction method, AVL focuses on the supply of measurement and testing technology, as well as the supply of the directly assigned technical building services and the conceptual planning of the overall project. In some cases, we also supply the building itself, depending on the overall situation of the customer or market. → Learn more
AVL Tech Center Modules
The modular construction projects are prefabricated modules, i.e. containers, which are pre-assembled in AVL’s facilities with the directly assigned mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) as well as measurement and testing technology and delivered to the end customer as a finished module. This accelerates the construction process and transfers the interface risks from the construction site to the AVL plant, thus significantly reducing them. → Learn more
A hybrid solution between brick-and-mortar and prefabricated testbed modules is also possible. A building of limited complexity and cost is constructed and the modules are moved into it. The media facilities can either be part of the modules or centrally located. The building is sometimes equipped with the planned number and types of testbeds from the start, or alternatively, it is started with a limited number of testbeds and expanded over time as the test needs grow.
The AVL Tech Center Solutions offers and executes projects with a holistic view of the entire scope. We combine various test systems and find the best way to size our customer's facility - as large as necessary, as small as possible, to create the best solution.”
– Andreas Bohmann, Solution Engineer, AVL List GmbH
We have in-depth knowledge of testbed operations, tech center planning, and especially MEP component sizing. This allows us to design and build testbeds that meet specific needs at a low investment cost. It also enables us to evaluate the requirements of individual components in terms of the overall result. This ensures that the originally formulated overarching requirement for the tech center is broken down to the individual systems and finally aggregated again when the overall system is integrated.
