IPG Automotive’s Post

We are delighted to share our latest developments with ARENA2036, the innovation platform for mobility and production of the future. GG is at the forefront of cutting-edge research, in two projects at ARENA2036: Transformations-Hub Leitungssatz-Hub and the Standardization Initiative for Wire Harness (SILS). What's SILS? In automotive manufacturing, the wire harness is a complex component, currently produced manually due to its vast variety. But as the industry advances with new technologies like autonomous driving and electrification, the necessity for an automated, standardized production process is undeniable. This is where SILS steps in. Our mission with SILS is to transform wire harness production through standardization, facilitating automation to handle the component's intricate diversity. This initiative is a collaborative effort, uniting industry stakeholders from OEMs to component suppliers, aiming to revolutionize wire harness production for enhanced efficiency and innovation. #WireUpTheFuture #HarnessYourPotential #WeAreGG #ARENA2036 Photo credit: Corinna Spitzbarth Fotographie

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲: 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 As a technology and service partner for engineering and validation, APL has designed a development- and test environment for testing ADAS and AD functions in a technological alliance with AIP Automotive, STÄHLE GmbH and IPG Automotive. APL's core competencies in automotive drive systems have created a unique test environment for mapping the entire "vehicle-in-the-loop" driving system. The focus is on the simulation of longitudinal and lateral dynamics in the vehicle using virtual route profiles by CarMaker. In combination with the integrated driving robotics and the in-house Torque Wheel Dynamometer (TWDM), ADAS functions can be tested including the drive, steering and braking system. 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 & 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: ✔ This test method increases the maturity level of the sensor-controlled ADAS functions and reduces the subsequent time-consuming and cost-intensive test drives. ✔ Thanks to the unlimited reproducibility of the individual use cases, the ADAS and AD functions can be tested around the clock, 365/24/7. ✔ This results in a significant increase in efficiency in the development environment.
