Electronics & Virtual Testing Solutions

Continuous verification, from the cloud to the road

We are your reliable partners for the functional testing of complex systems – offering scalable solutions from complete virtualisation to physical verification. From test stand construction and real-time simulation to test methods and execution, we offer you a complete package containing all the building blocks with which we test innovations from other departments. Agile, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral: we will take on testing for you.

Scalable services at every testing level

We will validate your complex systems and ensure that your products are safe and of high quality. The services we offer include all the modules required, whether standalone or as a bundle. Lengthy experience in every domain related to automobile development, plus expertise in other sectors, mean that we will be your reliable partner in the fields of electronics and virtual testing.

Virtualization and XiL Simulation

Given increasing testing loads, we aim for maximum virtualization by moving testing tasks towards the lab and the cloud.

Approval strategies for functions and systems designed based on virtual test results
Development of real-time-capable simulation models for Ego car, environment and traffic
Virtual ECUs (vECUs) created
Real parts requirement reduced through sensor and control unit behavior models
Virtualization of tool chains and parallelization of testing using cloud computing

Test Bed Engineering and Toolchains

We develop turnkey test beds and testing toolchains. Benefit from our experience with hardware and software components from popular providers for testing systems and tools.
