Automotive

As vehicles advance toward 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

Maximize reuse, boost efficiency, and lower vehicle development costs with the only hardware and software platform that spans the design cycle.

Time-Savings

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

Customization

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

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

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

ADAS Test

Perform automotive testing that can natively integrate all the I/O types you need to properly test advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology.

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

ELECTROMECHANICAL TEST

Replicate real-world environments with test benches, rigs, and facilities to fully 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.
