AVL Focus - Issue 2024

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.
