Comemso electronics has launched SmartCal, a solution for calibrating and adjusting its in-house battery cell simulator (BCS). The system has been designed for developers and testers of battery management systems (BMS) to enable fully automated calibration of the Comemso BCS, at the customer’s premises or in the Comemso laboratory.
Accuracy
SmartCal combines intuitive user guidance with an automated calibration process. It uses a 6.5-digit digital multimeter that is calibrated in accordance with ISO 17025.
LDRA has announced it has joined both the Renesas Ready Partner Network and the R-Car Consortium. This collaboration expands LDRA’s support to include system development using Renesas R-Car system on a chip (SoCs), microprocessors (MPUs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) that must comply with industry-wide functional safety and cybersecurity standards.
“Joining the Renesas Ready Partner Network and R-Car Consortium enables us to work directly within the Renesas ecosystem to help development teams tackle real-world functional safety verification challenges,” said Ian Hennell, operations director, LDRA.
ESPEC has launched a new thermal cycle chamber, the TCC-151W-20, which will now be available in the UK through Unitemp. The testing solution has been designed to achieve a controlled specimen temperature ramp rate of 20 kelvins per minute (K/min), to meet the increasing demands of international standards for semiconductor and electronics reliability testing.
As semiconductor devices continue to evolve to support applications such as autonomous vehicles, thermal stress testing under extreme conditions has become essential.
VinFast recently participated in FISITA’s World Mobility Conference at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya (June 3-5), where Dr Duong-Van Nguyen, the company’s global deputy CEO for ADAS/AD, gave a plenary keynote titled ‘Industry Disruption – The VinFast Perspective’
His presentation covered AI in scalable manufacturing design, AI sensor fusion and end-to-end AI (deep learning) in autonomous driving, as well as megatrends in EVs, connectivity and digital transformation, large language models, sustainability, green manufacturing and shared future mobility.
The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) has opened a clean and dry zone (CDZ), which is available for use by cell developers, equipment manufacturers and specialists working in the battery sector.
Capable of maintaining the precise climate-controlled conditions needed in the production of high-quality, reliable cells, the 800m2 CDZ consists of five independent rooms which can be rented either individually or together for a range of uses.
The five controlled environment areas are ISO 7 clean rooms that use an air filtration system to maintain air cleanliness levels, and which have the capability of reaching -40°C dew point.
As the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) gears up for its second season this November, one major learning from Season 1 has driven an innovation. “More practice makes better AI”, says A2RL, which has in response launched the A2RL SIM-Sprint Challenge, a virtual racing series designed to help autonomous racing teams sharpen their algorithms long before race day.
One of the biggest hurdles for teams in any motorsport is that they always want more track time.
During FISITA’s World Mobility Conference 2025, held at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, on June 3-5, ATTI sat down with Mehdi Ferhan, Volvo Group’s senior vice president for powertrain engineering, to discusses legislation, sustainability and Volvo’s future vehicle development
How are you prioritizing testing resources within the current regulatory and cost landscape?
Testing is a very important and strategic resource in our organization, especially when talking to engineers and engineering groups.
Hyundai Motor Group is considering introducing a virtual reality-based driving simulator to its vehicle development process to reduce the cost and time of actual driving tests, thereby improving the competitiveness of future models, according to foreign media reports and Ansible Motion.
Hyundai is planning to introduce Ansible Motion’s VR driving simulator to the new vehicle development stage. The model under consideration is the Delta Series, with implementation expected as early as this year.
