This development and concept from Blum-Novotest is a complete, single-source solution for testing heavy truck transmissions with automated shifting. The test area combines proven test engineering with a sophisticated transport system. The intelligent software ensures efficient and conflict-free transport of the transmissions being tested as well as effective test sequence control and data acquisition.

NovoPS Test Stand Software

The NovoPS test stand software is a Windows-based solution that is programmed in-house and optimised for the respective test task. As the interface to the user, the uncomplicated user interface provides intuitive access to all functions of the test stand. Moreover, both the connection of the test stand to the customer's conveyor systems as well as its integration into the existing network environment is taken into account. This enables the data acquired to be processed and evaluated independently of the test stand.
