2 8 development speed and methodology
Realizing the Potential
of Your Test Field
Vehicle devel-opment
is vastly
complex and ex-pensive.
To en-sure
the products that get to market
meet the requirements of the end-user,
legislation and cost of owner-ship,
every aspect of development
and validation must be optimized
for the best performance and pro-ductivity,
and maximum overall
equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Yet even in modern testing labs, it’s
not uncommon for OEE to be just
30 % of its capability. From down-time
losses due to maintenance, for
example, to productivity losses due
to idle and empty channels in cell
testing, quality losses due to da-ta
issues and test repetition due
to unclear test requests, most de-velopment
environments are not
working to their full potential.
It is precisely because these envi-ronments
are so complex that these
losses occur. Simply put, vehicle
development and testing are too
complicated to be done manually.
Instead, an automated, connected
philosophy is required, since the
manual planning and testing
of several thousand of
UUTs is not an
option.
