Advanced Harness Production for Major UK OEM's Development Testing
Project Scope:
The OEM provided VTS with six wiring diagrams required for the prototype vehicles’ development. The diagrams included four breakout harnesses that were designed to give their engineers direct access to module CAN networks.
The remaining two were essential for linking these breakouts to the chosen data loggers, optimizing CAN traffic through a bespoke HD26 connector, and distributing individual CAN traffic across four DB9 connectors.
Challenge:
A large OEM in the UK, renowned for its innovative automotive technologies, approached Vehicle Testing Solutions (VTS) for support in breakout harness manufacturing.
Their engineers were being diverted from core activities to manually produce harnesses for prototype vehicles, a process that was not only time-consuming but also diverted their attention from specialized tasks only they could perform.
Solution & Outcome:
VTS initiated the project by manufacturing a pilot batch of 10 units for each type of cable, adhering to the precise specifications provided by the OEM. The initial batch was rigorously tested and refined to ensure compatibility and performance.
The initial delivery met the OEM's high standards, leading to a subsequent order of 40 units per cable type. This expansion significantly enhanced their capability to conduct comprehensive development testing across its prototype vehicles.
The success of this project not only streamlined the testing process for the OEM but also reinforced VTS’s role as a critical partner in automotive development.
