Software Integration and Standardization

One of the key factors in the project's success was its efficient and cost-effective implementation:

• The current Berghof software enabled seamless management of test jobs and smooth interface communication, for example with the cabin, robot and high-speed doors.
  Additional extensions were implemented for new series, test contactings and specific sensors.
   

The retrofit also included the integration of new sensors and enhancements, including Valeo 10.x sensors, Vitesco hands-free access sensor, MMR sensor, SUV camera, Continental pressure sensor and wireless transmitters.

Minimal Downtime Thanks to Turnkey Solution

Due to the standardization of the Berghof test systems, the entire installation of hardware and software could already be carried out in advance at Berghof. This resulted in a significant reduction in downtime. The test system was delivered as a “turnkey solution”, so that only the connection and final commissioning were required on site.

Thanks to this approach, each of the two test stations was successfully put into operation within just one weekend, reducing downtime and operational risks to a minimum.

Conclusion

With the successful retrofit of the bumper test system, Berghof was able to provide REHAU with a modern, future-proof and efficient testing solution. The combination of technological updates, standardized implementation and minimized downtime ensures a sustainable optimization of the testing process.
