Automotive – Test Rig System

Challenges

Horner Automation implemented a comprehensive solution for an automotive test rig system. Our customer was faced with many issues from an older system which did not allow for:

  1. Customizable features or programming
  2. Integrated data logger with their test systems
  3. Simple, easy-to-use interface and setup

Opportunity

Seeing that the customer was using cumbersome, isolated devices to manage each unique aspect of their testing systems, our team at Horner knew there was a way to use an all-in-one Horner OCS to streamline and update their organization with features such as:

  1. Easy-to-use programming
  2. Improved run times on existing processes
  3. Efficient price point compared to market competitors

Solution

With the Horner XL7 OCS Controller and SmartBlock Remote I/O, our customer was able to bring their test rig automation from a Model T, to an IndyCar. We empowered them to experience functionalities like:

  1. Quick programming updates
  2. Automate test run types through recipes
  3. LAN network support
  4. Simple user interface creation by their internal team
