At the Testing Expo, the companies will show a variety of technologies for the industry:

• Powertrain Test Bed Solution
  • A D2T demonstration that illustrates its V cycle offering which includes tools and services utilized throughout the engine development / validation process.

• Model Based Calibration (MMBC) / ICE²
  • MMBC ensures safe and successful collection of a data set while integrating powerful on line algorithms able to shorten calibration workflow and achieve a successful result. ICE² provides a complete office platform that integrates all centralized data and provides best-case optimization of the engine in combination with the after treatment system.

• OSIRIS
  • OSIRIS is a cost / performance ratio tool that relies on 20 years of market leadership and improvement.
  • OSIRIS  provides exceptional data storage capability for cylinder pressure data for both test cell emissions testing or field-testing.
  • The open system architecture makes OSIRIS extremely user friendly.

• FEVFlex
  • FEVFlex is a system supporting the complete information process in the development of new products, from planning and job creation through documentation of all activities, data management, and analysis reporting.
  • FEVFlex offers two editions, the Test Field Management 4.0 edition and the Benchmarking edition. The Test Field Management edition provides a view of the entire test field, including data management, part tracking, etc., while the Benchmarking edition provides a view of benchmarking data.

• FEVALYS
  • FEVALYS is a Windows-based tool for analysis and visualization of a variety of data generated during engine and vehicle development. It integrates data browsing, calculation and report generation, closing the gap between data acquisition and the presentation of test results, and can aggregate data from steady state or dynamic measurement, either manually or automatically. It saves customers time and money.
