Research and Development
Between 2019-2020, Entry Engineering s.r.o. implemented the investment project called “Development workplace for automation of testing of the OCU system and electronic components in the automotive industry“.
The purpose of the project called “Development workplace for automation of testing of the OCU system and electronic components in the automotive industry” (OP PIK) was to expand the R&D centre by acquiring machines/devices and other equipment necessary for the centre (see Development workplaces of Entry Engineering and Development workplace for the automation of OCU service testing). Thanks to the expansion of the R&D centre, we are now able to offer the following services: (Analogue and digital technology analysis, PCB design, MCU programming, Prototyping in 3D/laser printing, Automatic testing of mobile applications, mobile screens and component tests, Emergency call testing, Automotive bus datalogging). Other users may access the research infrastructure in the form of a commercial service.

Development workplaces of Entry Engineering

Development workplace for automation of OCU service testing The automation workplace is equipped with devices which perform automatic tests of mobile applications, touch screens and component tests and which use various buses for communication. Automatic testing is done by using the tester internal software, which is used not only to program these tests, but also for test initiation and evaluation. A great advantage of the software is the option to integrate any test functionality in line with customer requirements. Another area of testing is emergency call testing with the help of a signalling tester, which allows the user to create artificially various test scenarios as in a real mobile network. Other equipment include several devices designed for automotive bus datalogging and evaluation software. We use 3D printing to build prototypes. |

Electronic component development workplace The electronics workplace is equipped with all measuring technology necessary for the construction and analysis of digital and analogue electronic components. The workplace is also equipped with software for PCB design and software for microcontroller programming. The workplace utilizes ESD environment audit, so appropriate care is taken with handling ESD-sensitive equipment and components. |
