VL’s automation platform is the core element of
many different testbed applications. We offer
tailored solutions for different testing environments
from virtual to e-mobility propulsion concepts for
automotive and non-automotive domains like rail,
stationary and urban air mobility applications. Our leading
automation system AVL PUMA 2™ is easily extendable
to suit modern testing methods and ensures consistent
testFed configYration.
The latest version of the software introduces a
groundbreaking feature: the integration of machine learning
algoritLms into tLe develoTment Trocess. %TTlying artificial
intelligence (AI) allows users to swiftly identify errors during
online oTeration witLin 491% , resYlting in significant time
and cost savings.
The ability to access testbeds from a central control room
via a state-of-the-art web application is an essential part of
a future-proof automation solution. PUMA 2 enables users
to track runtime information from all testbeds and execute
operating functions, at any time and from anywhere.
Cutting-edge usability across all testbed applications
ensures maximum productivity. This software release
proves once again that PUMA 2 is considered to be a global
industry standard, with more than 7,000 licenses installed
worldwide.

through a system has become more important
than ever. It is often necessary to manage several hundred
measurement channels when evaluating propulsion
systems of BEVs, HEVs, FCEVs, or other energy distribution
systems. )ƾcient management oJ energy resoYrces
requires the use of high-accuracy measurement devices
that can provide precise measurements of energy usage,
along with a holistic approach.
With AVL’s comprehensive solution chain, which includes
sensors, high-accuracy measurement systems, propulsion
system testbed components, data management, and
graTLical visYali^ation, cYstomers can eƾciently manage
energy resources, identify areas for improvement, and
gYide energy eƾciency measYres.
The data gathered from these devices can be analyzed
and interpreted using sophisticated visualization tools to
provide insight into how energy is being used and where
potential energy losses are occurring.
