BMW Group AG, headquartered in Munich, is a leading provider of premium products and premium services for individual mobility.

The Problem

As part of the EMC measurements of vehicle control units, information from different areas must be brought together. Fault memory entries are read out, bus traffic is logged, visual inspections are carried out and measurement data is recorded. A lack of interfaces between the existing tools meant that this data had to be manually entered into a report. In addition, at least two employees were required to supervise the measurement without interruption in order to minimize measurement errors.

The Solution

new direction GmbH supported the internal EMC department in creating a solution concept and coordinating with system partners. Once all the concept and implementation documents had been created, interface prototypes were developed to validate the viability of the concept. The solution was then implemented and put into operation together with the EMC department and the system partners. new direction also provided user training and ensures the ongoing maintenance and expansion of the solution.

Value enhancement

By implementing automated and seamless monitoring of all systems, the efficiency and accuracy of EMC measurements have been significantly increased. The precise detection of measurement events enables automatic logging of all relevant data in real time. At the same time, the real-time visualization provides an improved overview for the measurement personnel. Thanks to its system independence, the solution can be used flexibly - both on laptops and for specific analyses such as fault memory analysis or visualization. Overall, personnel costs have been significantly reduced and the informative value of the measurement logs has been considerably improved.

At new direction GmbH, we implement these and similar solutions quickly and reliably. If you have any questions or specific concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.
