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:
- Customizable features or programming
- Integrated data logger with their test systems
- 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:
- Easy-to-use programming
- Improved run times on existing processes
- 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:
- Quick programming updates
- Automate test run types through recipes
- LAN network support
- Simple user interface creation by their internal team
