Growing Safety Demands Push Automotive Companies Toward ISO 26262 Compliance
As automakers around the world continue to expand advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) moving toward fully autonomous operations, car designs are becoming increasingly complex.
While there are currently no federal mandates requiring compliance with ISO 26262 functional safety standards for automobiles in the US, the financial risk of functional safety violations is driving many automakers to rigorously self-regulate for functional safety.
ISO 26262 will put demands on every step of testing for the product lifecycle, and Genuen works with customers:
- In initial preparation to define requirements
- Through the testing process with custom HIL systems and TaaS solutions
- With off-the-shelf qualification tools
- In the production phase with automated manufacturing
- Through partnerships with key technology companies
Preparation: Defining Requirements that Set Products up for Success in Future Compliance
Non-technical and technical stakeholders struggle to communicate through the intricacies of the development process. With model-based systems engineering (MBSE) Genuen helps clients visualize system requirements, facilitating communication across groups and reducing test requirements errors.
Process: Test System Solutions that Move Products Through Development
Genuen has a long history of providing custom hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) solutions for clients to speed the R&D process without sacrificing accuracy or additional costs.
The company recently announced Test as a Service (TaaS), providing test data without requiring organizations to purchase or house the actual test processes. Specializing in TaaS with onsite fluid power and electromechanical physical test stands, Genuen conducts proof & burst testing and impulse testing to provide customers with the data and documentation needed for determination of product or material failure mode analysis, product performance, and expected life span.
Product: Off-the-Shelf Solutions for Formal Qualification
The Genuen Tool Qualification Kit (TQK) provides a solid foundation for achieving formal qualification of TestStand as part of the development process in highly regulated industries – including automotive applications where companies are preparing for ISO 26262.
Production: Extending the Product Lifecycle Through Production
Genuen recently acquired Versatech, an expert production line integrator that combines high-end robotic, automation, and controls hardware with customized software. Versatech has relationships with leading robotics technology developers including Fanuc, Yaskawa/Motoman, Epson, Denso, Mitsubishi, and Universal Robots. The company also provides expert vision inspection capabilities for production automation.
Partnership: Relationships with Leading Technology Providers
Now an NI Delivery Partner for HIL Test Systems for Body & Chassis, Genuen has the expertise to provide a cost-effective, open-box XIL test system using open architectures, open standards, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
