Test, inspect and trace every vehicle on the line.

Ti2 has delivered production systems for automotive plants for more than a decade: end-of-line diagnostic test systems, vision and barcode capture, sensor testers and wireless ECU programming, with test specifications written so the plant can audit them.

What we do

What we do in Automotive

End-of-line diagnostic testing

Automated checks of vehicle electronics on 4CONTROL, Softing DTS7 and EDICusb, with barcode tracking and audit-ready test specifications.

Vision and barcode capture

Image inspection and barcode capture built into the production line for quality control.

Wireless ECU programming

Production line modernisation that programs vehicle ECUs without cables.

Sensor and component testers

Purpose-built testers, such as a rear parking-sensor sonar tester built with 4CONTROL and DTS.

Operator assistance

Picture-assisted selection tools that help line operators pick the right part, using 4CONTROL as an OPC server.

Wireless Programming of ECUs

We removed the cable from vehicle ECU programming, so each car is programmed wirelessly as it moves down the line.

Problem
Programming a vehicle's ECUs normally means connecting a cable to every car, waiting for the download and disconnecting it again, which adds handling and ties up a station on a moving line.
What we did
Ti2 modernised the production line so ECUs are programmed wirelessly as part of the line itself. Each vehicle is identified by barcode, and wireless programming units managed from a central control PC program its ECUs, with no cable to connect or disconnect at the station.
Result
Vehicle ECUs are programmed wirelessly on the line itself, with no cable to connect or disconnect at the station.
