Upgrading a 15-Year-Old Tractor Transmission Test Bed Through Smart Automation
Use case: –Upgrading an existing tractor transmission test bed to enable automated performance and durability testing, advanced load simulation, and real-time data acquisition without replacing the entire infrastructure.
Goal: –To enhance test bed capability, efficiency, and safety while minimizing capital expenditure by upgrading only critical hardware and software components.
Challenges:-The legacy test bed lacked load simulation capability, comprehensive data acquisition, and reliability due to frequent breakdowns and lack of supplier support. Budget constraints further limited full system replacement.
Solution:-iASYS integrated its advanced Dyno Controller and Orbit T Test Automation Platform to automate test sequences, enable multi-dyno control, improve safety through interlocks, and provide real-time graphical analysis.
Results :-Up to 80% automation of test sequences reduced human error, 50% improvement in testing efficiency, and 40% increase in system utilization, delivering a reliable, user-friendly, and cost-effective testing solution.
