Traditional melting fuses are present in most of the vehicles nowadays. However, is it the best solution? Mechanical fuses melt when a power fault occurs, preventing that it affects other important vehicle components. This means that the correct fuses must be selected prior to reaching the driver, whilst meeting the desired requirements. 💥 Our eFuse technology, in contrary, detects and prevents that any electrical/electronical fault occurs before it does. It does that by constantly monitoring the current in the entire vehicle and behavior of the system components. This innovative approach not only enhances safety but also introduces self-healing capabilities, ensuring our systems are smarter, more reliable, and ahead of the curve. 🛡⚡ Nevertheless, the system can also be over-the-air updated and upgraded after installation. A quick and easy update is sufficient to solve any problem. ☁ If you would like to know more about the future of secure and intelligent power distribution don’t hesitate to contact us! 👇 #FORVIAHELLA #FORVIA #eFuse #iPDM #fuse #innovation #OTA

The Fraunhofer Development Center for X-ray Technology, a division of Fraunhofer IIS, has presented a novel testing option for batteries in electric vehicles. In collaboration with Technische Universität München, measurement results from preliminary studies were presented for the Air research project (drive battery inspection using X-rays). The system allows the mechanical integrity of battery modules to be visually assessed by taking an X-ray image of the vehicle and the drive battery mounted in the underbody. For this purpose, the vehicle is driven into the measuring system. Even in fully encapsulated battery modules, it is possible to examine the battery in detail in order to make statements about the mechanical condition of https://lnkd.in/e27Q6rkx #battery #inspection #xray #ndt #nondestructivetesting #automotiveindustry

You may know our boundary-pushing brake control systems, #Metroflexx and #Regioflexx, but do you know how they came to outperform conventional systems across the board? With several complex challenges to resolve – from improving performance and reliability, to future-proofing systems for S2R and ERJU – our design philosophy set three clear goals: 💡 Simplify - replacing conventional, complex pneumatic components with electronic control and software modules that guarantee an equivalent or improved safety level (up to SIL4) 💡 Streamline - redesigning remaining pneumatic components, using improved materials to boost reliability, performance, and service life 💡 Innovate - developing a new generation of adaptive algorithms to improve system performance Now it’s time to meet the result: the Flexx Family, a new generation of high-performance, reliable, and flexible brake control systems.
