Automotive Seat Test Systems

End-of-line systems that bring electrical testing, vehicle diagnostics, safety-circuit verification, data collection, and operator guidance into one production station.

Production challenge

The requirement.

A production seat may contain motors, heaters, switches, occupant and buckle sensors, airbag circuits, control modules, and vehicle-network diagnostics. The tester has to verify the correct functions within cycle time, guide the operator clearly, and preserve dependable results for every product.

PCS approach

The integrated solution.

PCS develops the test electronics, PLC and HMI sequence, diagnostic communication, measurement routines, fixtures, database structure, traceability, and recovery tools as a coordinated system. Test limits and product recipes are managed without obscuring the underlying results needed for engineering analysis.

Capabilities applied

One system, coordinated disciplines.

Electrical and resistance measurement

Vehicle-network diagnostic communication

PLC and HMI test sequencing

Product recipes and model control

SQL data collection and traceability

Operator diagnostics and recovery

Production result

Designed for the real operating environment.

A maintainable tester that gives production a clear pass/fail decision, gives technicians useful diagnostics, and gives engineering the recorded detail needed to investigate trends and failures.
