Automotive

As vehicles advance towards autonomous operation, test engineers face drastically increasing system complexity while dealing with ever present cost and time pressure.

Advantages of the NI Approach

Lower Cost

Use the only hardware and software platform that spans the design cycle to maximize reuse, boost efficiency, and lower vehicle development costs.

Time-Saving

Significantly reduce deployment time with adaptable hardware and software that can integrate with the tools you already use.

Customizable

Use a flexible and future-proof system that can change as your test requirements do by building on NI’s modular PXI and C Series platforms.

Applications

Today's automobiles have increasingly complex subsystems that all have to functions in concert. NI HIL solutions let you create virtual environments for testing these sytems in real-time to ensure they work as they should.

HARDWARE IN THE LOOP

Thoroughly and efficiently test engine control units (ECUs) in a virtual environment to ensure maximum test coverage for minimum cost.

Today’s engineers need flexible, easy-to-use test cells that deliver accurate data while minimizing cell time.

ELECTROMECHANICAL TEST

Test benches, rigs, and facilities replicate real-world environments to thoroughly test physical vehicle components and systems.

Develop performance and cost-optimized test systems in less time

END-OF-LINE TEST

Test vehicle components to ensure a high-quality product while maximizing the speed of your production line.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS

Intelligently standardize, analyze, and report on large amounts of data with NI data management software.
