Jens-Uwe Peter-Physics Graduate And Certified LabVIEW Architect With Over 15 Years Of Experience In Developing Automated Measurement,

In this project, I was responsible for the design and implementation of a new, modular, and highly scalable test bench platform for an automotive supplier. My focus was on developing a robust system architecture and programming the associated software, with consistent use of UML modeling throughout. This structured approach made it possible to greatly increase the reusability of individual LabVIEW test modules and to significantly reduce development time for follow-up projects. I also integrated modern automotive standards such as CAN FD, LIN, and safety requirements, which made the solution future-proof.

Within electronics manufacturing, I was responsible for developing extensive test sequences. My goal was to establish highly standardized and robust test workflows using TestStand and LabVIEW, which were used for automated quality assurance (FCT) of printed circuit boards and end devices. I placed particular emphasis on integrating precise DMM measurement methods and connecting to existing ECAD workflows in order to significantly increase the efficiency of the entire test chain.

I developed complex software for a test bench for brush seal analysis, based on LabVIEW and cRIO. The main challenge was the high-precision real-time data acquisition (DAQmx) of mechanical load values and their exact correlation with drive data provided via TwinCAT and EtherCAT. This made it possible to perform in-depth analysis of sealing behavior under different load conditions.

I developed specific custom devices for NI VeriStand and implemented seamless integration with the ECU test environment. This new architecture made it possible to carry out automated and highly modern HIL test scenarios (hardware-in-the-loop), which significantly increased the test scope and coverage for ECU validations in automotive development.

I was responsible for the software development of test benches and fully automated automation lines for pneumatic valves. My focus was on a robust LabVIEW-based control system that enabled reliable communication via Modbus. In addition, I designed an intuitive HMI interface that ensured easy operation for the staff on site and thus made a major contribution to maintaining short and efficient cycle times.

In the field of medical technology, I developed a complex FCT test adapter that covered both hardware and electronics development. For implementing the test sequences, I used TestStand in close integration with LabVIEW. Special focus was placed on PXI system integration to ensure highly precise and fully FDA-compliant PCB testing.

For this complex oil pump development test bench in the automotive sector, I was responsible for the complete software development. To accurately map the different load profiles for reliability testing, I implemented a wide range of protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Modbus for control and data acquisition. The basis was the TwinCAT platform with EtherCAT, which created a highly performant and flexible test environment.

In this project, I took full responsibility for the design and development of a test rig for passenger car air conditioning units, shaping both the software and the hardware in a major way. My goal was to create a robust test environment that met the high demands of the production line in the automotive field.

As part of this automation task, I developed an image processing solution for a semi-automated assembly station involving hydraulic components. To support employees in their daily work as well as possible, I also integrated an intuitive user guidance system that made operating the system easier and helped improve assembly accuracy.

As part of the company-wide migration from Windows XP to Windows 7, I worked in an advisory role. My main task was to support the transition technically, which in particular included migrating and updating the existing LabVIEW and TestStand environments to the new operating system versions to ensure the test systems remained functional.

For the development of a hydraulic test bench, I was responsible for replacing the existing control unit with a more modern cRIO platform. This included both the careful sizing of the required hardware and the complete reprogramming of the control software in order to achieve improved precision in force measurement and more efficient hydraulic control.
