OEMs and suppliers are investing in testing equipment, facilities, and software to ensure proper performance of components prior to being placed in the field.
As construction, mining, demolition, and forestry have become increasingly complex tasks as a result of tightening emissions and government regulations, the equipment used to perform these tasks has also become more complex as devices such as electronic control units (ECUs) have proliferated and new systems have become necessary to help limit particulate emissions.
To combat this added complexity and ensure the quality and reliability of these ECUs and engine components, off-highway OEMs and suppliers are investing in additional test equipment, test facilities, and software in an effort to validate performance.
