Special Solution: Testing Assistant (ERPA)

Conducting demanding product tests, as is common in the automotive industry, requires precise planning and coordination of valuable resources. Our Testing Assistant (ERPA) is the specialized software solution that masters exactly this challenge. Developed over more than 10 years of continuous development and practical use in close collaboration with Robert Bosch GmbH, ERPA offers a comprehensive and comfortable web interface for the efficient planning of tests and test resources (e.g., for temperature, EMC, stress tests, and much more).

Core Functions for Your Test Planning

• Graphical Test Sequence Planning: The heart of ERPA: Define complex test sequences visually. Graphically represent dependencies between individual test steps, assign required resources (such as climate chambers, test benches, measuring devices) and plan precise time windows and durations for each step.
• Central Resource Management: Keep track of all available test resources, their specific capabilities, maintenance intervals, and current occupancy. Avoid bottlenecks and double bookings through a central, transparent view.
• Intuitive Web Interface: Access all planning and management functions conveniently via a modern and user-friendly web interface – from the definition of tests to the evaluation of resource utilization.
• Conflict Management & Optimization: The system supports you in avoiding resource conflicts and helps to optimize the utilization of your valuable testing facilities.
• Reporting & Documentation: Track planned vs. actual resource usage and create meaningful reports for the analysis and documentation of your testing activities.

Your Benefits

• Efficient Resource Utilization: Maximize the utilization of your expensive test benches and laboratory facilities.
• Accelerated Planning: Significantly reduce the time required for complex test planning.
• Increased Reliability: Minimize planning errors and ensure that required resources are available at the right time.
• Full Transparency: Create a clear overview of all planned and ongoing tests for planners, engineers, and management.
• Field-tested & Robust: Benefit from a solution that has matured over a decade in the demanding automotive environment with Bosch.
• On-Premise Option: Maintain full control over your planning and testing data on your own infrastructure.
