Client Background
This project aimed to ensure the reliable performance of voice commands, Bluetooth connectivity, speaker response, auxiliary input, and navigation features. OTI was tasked with engineering, designing, and implementing a customized Automated Test Equipment (ATE) system to meet these requirements.
Case Study
Let us create an IoT strategy, implementation and evolve your IoT solution.
Challenges
The primary challenge was to create a versatile and efficient testing setup that could seamlessly integrate with the infotainment system and perform a wide range of tests. The solution needed to record and analyze voice commands, generate USB profiles, assess GSM/GPS gains, and perform speaker frequency tests. Additionally, it required robust software to manage the entire testing process, ensuring accurate data collection and real-time analysis.
Solution
We have developed a custom Test Application software for Windows. This software interfaced with the infotainment system via USB, enabling the recording of voice commands, generation of USB profiles, and assessment of GSM/GPS gains. It included modules for user authentication, configuration, testing, and offline analysis, providing a comprehensive testing environment.
The hardware setup included PLC controllers, HMI displays, high-resolution cameras, and a laptop for simulator interfacing. The system facilitated seamless communication between the PLC and DUT, allowing automated testing sequences and real-time data collection.
The software enabled users to configure test points, record audio commands, and automate the testing process, ensuring thorough documentation and performance verification.
Additionally, OTI's solution included a two-hour battery backup for uninterrupted testing, integration of a UPS, and user-friendly software to manage the entire testing workflow. This comprehensive setup ensured accurate and efficient testing of the infotainment system, meeting all specified requirements and enhancing the reliability of testing process.
