<strong>ASAM</strong><br />
GDI Filling<br />
i<br />
Summary<br />
Challenge: The field of fluid filling in the final<br />
assembly area of automotive manufacture<br />
shall be prepared for various testing jobs of<br />
vehicle electronics.<br />
The final assembly area is particularly suitable<br />
for these kinds of jobs because in most of the<br />
plants the state of installation of the vehicles<br />
is necessary for filling brake, air suspension,<br />
clutch or off-road stabilizers. Above all the<br />
filling processes occupy several cycles.<br />
Parallel testing jobs covering a longer period<br />
of time are possible.<br />
Solution: This area shall be standardized<br />
regarding the filling equipment installed and<br />

the interfaces for access to the vehicle<br />
electronics in order to ensure that the testing<br />
systems and the support of test processes are<br />
uniform. The basis for a simple exchange of<br />
test and filling devices shall be guaranteed in<br />
many plants.<br />
Key Benefits: The advantages are a definite<br />
process description and process<br />
responsibility as well as the convertibility of<br />
testing sequences which are created in a<br />
common testing language.<br />
Development costs for test processes are<br />
decreased and it can be used in many plants.<br />
Moreover an important basis is created for<br />
increasing further standardization potentials.<br />
