ECU Field Tester

This project demonstrates Elevate Controls’ commitment to designing robust, flexible test and measurement systems that evolve with our customers’ needs.

An End-Of-Line (EOL) Test System for an Engine Control Unit (ECU)

By combining NI’s industry-leading PXI/TestStand platform with custom circuitry and robust mechanical fixturing, Elevate Controls delivered a flexible and scalable automated ECU End-of-Line Test System tailored to the client’s needs.

Locomotive Train Line Interface

Elevate Controls’ met a demanding time-to-market schedule to deliver a ready-to-deploy final product suited to medium level production volumes. The interface design included self-test functionality that allowed production units to be validated by reference to a second interface.

Hil Test System For VCU

Elevate Controls supplied a 600+ IO point HIL Test System with full fault insertion capability to test a new custom VCU. This flexible and scalable system integrates NI Real-Time PXI hardware with a custom electronic load box and signal conditioning interface.

Alcoa Laboratory Instrument Integration

The ALIAN system’s innovative design and industry impact earned it Finalist status at NI Week 2000 in the “Best Applications Paper” category for Test and Quality.

TiRO Pilot-Scale Production Plant

The project was recognised as a Finalist at the PACE Zenith Awards 2013 in the Mining, Minerals, and Exploration category, highlighting its contribution to innovation in metal production.

Chute Modelling Circuit

The successful deployment of the BSM monitoring and control system eliminated the need for manual control of motor drives and moisture monitoring.

Portable Rail Hunting System

The portable rail hunting detection system provided the client with a highly reliable, autonomous, and data-driven approach to investigating rail hunting effects.
