Meeting the Crash Testing Challenge
You get one chance to get a crash test right. There are no do overs. You need to ensure every step has been followed meticulously, checked and double checked.
So finding a one-stop test solution that’s entirely traceable, enables collaboration, captures data throughout the procedure, and assists in automating the report generation is the goal.
An end-to-end test management system called “Titan”, developed by 12th Wonder, meets that goal.
Titan can improve productivity both in preparation and analysis.
The complexity of vehicle crash testing has increased dramatically. Ongoing advancements in automotive technology, innovative material breakthroughs, and regulatory oversight require thorough and precise testing to ensure effectiveness throughout the process.
The evolution of your organization’s testing process mirrors the growth of crash test complexity. Hard-copy checklists, volumes of processes, and incomplete solutions consisting of home-grown applications accommodate current processes but inhibit automation. Titan solves this challenge. Here’s how we do it:
Eliminate email requests and approvals to initiate tests.
Avoid the hassle of initiating tests via email. Titan automates the test request process, soliciting the appropriate approvals during every step.
Schedule testing resources, facilities, vehicles, and ATD’s in advance.
During the test initiation process, resources, facilities, dummies, and other necessary equipment are reserved as they have already been entered into the Titan system (Titan migrates this information quickly and accurately into the application using export files).
Move test instructions from hard copy to tablet; Integrate the volume of instructions by migrating all instructions online.
Myriad sets of instructions are documented in spreadsheets, exist in hard-copy, or are stored digitally in unintegrated applications. In Titan, the appropriate test checklist can be summoned at the click of a button. Existing processes are edited and new processes added directly into Titan.
TITAN’s Test Catalog Management feature tool governs the setup of your test vehicle, instrumentation requirements, and ATD positioning data.
Reduce the amount of time required to publish test reports, a critical step in the compliance process.
Using its automated features, Titan can compile data and publish reporting at the click of a button.
With built-in workflow already integrated into Titan, engineers, technicians, and managers can review, approve, and distribute the reports. To improve data collection, Titan may be able to store data directly from the testing devices.(Read More ..)
