Fully automated testing of vehicle infotainment systems

Multimedia operating interfaces are complex control and display devices for functions such as entertainment, telephony, on-board computers and vehicle settings. The functional test of such complex control units and their networking within the vehicle architecture presents a particular challenge in every phase of the product design process.

The variety of communication interfaces and the different characteristics of control elements require a modular test device, not least for reasons of costs. The combination of different test technologies creates a powerful and cost-optimized test system for various infotainment modules.

Goepel's infotainment system fully automated test integration solution, based on Goepel's bus products, LVDS products, industrial cameras, industrial robots, and automated testing software PG and vision software TOM-Line, realizes fully automated testing of on-board infotainment system controllers.
