“The automotive industry is in
a period of intense technological
transformation towards e-mobility.
This is driving demand for battery
development and testing,” says
Michael Conrad, Global Segment
Business Manager
at AVL. “Yet, faced
with limited capacity,
new technologies
and new
applications,
lab managers
and engineers
are under
pressure to
maximize productivity
and
provide valuable
insights from the
huge amount of data
generated during testing.”
To help them run different kinds
of labs with highest efficiency,
we have developed the AVL Lab
Management™ software solution.
Designed around users and built on
half-a-century of automotive testing
and engineering know-how, it
is a collection of integrated modules
such as AVL CONCERTO™, for
data analytics, and AVL SANTORIN
MX 2™ for data management.
AVL Lab Management covers everything
from lab booking, work
order planning, and the preparation
and execution of tests, through to
data management and post-processing.
It boosts lab efficiency
and reduces test effort. With the
growing complexity of electrified
powertrains, and increasing model
variants, this is vital if test field operators
are to remain competitive.
LAB MANAGEMENT
FOR BATTERY
As well as covering generic lab
management tasks, our offering also
caters for specific systems. This
is why we have created AVL Lab
Management for Battery. Battery
testing has a high UUT (Unit Under
Test) throughput, requiring a high
number of tests to be scheduled and
executed. Test engineers are often
required to monitor an incredibly
high number of UUTs – including
battery cells, modules and packs,
while also carrying out activities
such as rigging, mounting and dismounting
test units.
Lab Management for Battery tackles
this with smart logistics functions
and test scheduling algorithms
for large UUT numbers. It supports
a wide range of test chambers with
different test capabilities, operating
on different temperature profiles.
“The great thing about AVL Lab
Management is the high scalability
and flexibility, which is why it can
grow with our customers’ requirements,”
says Marinette Iwanicki,
AVL Product Manager. “Our solution
ideally prepares our customers
for the dynamic changes being faced
by the industry.”
