TEST BENCH TECHNOLOGY
The reform process of the automobile industry is accelerating. In the midst of fierce market competition, ZD maintains a multi-faceted and orderly operation, including design, research and development, manufacturing, sales and other fields, develops its own ecological management concepts and business concepts as well as opens up new business models.
Test benches are one of ZD’s main products and is widely recognized by many well-known OEMs. Our test bench department has mature and stable design solutions, experienced R&D teams, excellent and efficient supporting factories and first-class and meticulous quality control. Our offer consists of manual and automation test benches, luggage-type portable test benches and advanced cockpits for exhibitions.
ZD test benches are independently developed and produced, which have CE certification for European Unions. The test bench lines are formulated and implemented in strict accordance with international standards from R&D, production, assembly and processes. The product categories cover a wide range, which can fully meet the testing needs of various OEMs in different aspects. The test benches can be individualized, therefore we can implement customized solutions with special functions on customer request. Our product series are as followed:

INDIVIDUAL LINE
Car2X Generation 1C2X-G1
The Car2X test bench was developed for various tests of the cars connectivity. As a complete system it can, among others, check the following functions:
- Online connectivity
- Online traffic
- Remote update
- Over the Air Updates
- Automatic emergency call (eCall)
- Breakdown call (bCall)
Equipped with our simulation tools, the ZD Box und Signalgeneratoren, ConnectApp tests can also be performed. The Car2X test benches also support the simulation of open windows, doors, hoods and tailgates, as well as central locking and driving speed. On customer request, the test possibilities can be extended even further, and real control units such as door locks can be installed.

Individual Generation 3IN-G3
Butadiene Styrene
The third generation of our Individual-Line focuses on maximum flexibility. Since the entire system fits into one case, it is the most mobile and simple solution in our portfolio. Despite its compact design, all important features have been integrated into the water and pressure resistant design. Nevertheless, we were able to keep the total weight below 32 kilograms, so that the suitcase can be checked in as flight baggage without any problems.

Advanced Cockpit for ExhibitionACE-G1
ZD not only develop standard product of our own brand, but we also customise our product to meet exhibition needs of our customers through personalised and individualized test benches. According to the technical and aesthetic needs of our customers, we develop individual and customized solutions to provide the appropriate technology and services for high-quality cockpit for exhibition.
The Virtual Cockpit, which is jointly developed by ZD with our partner using core cutting-edge technologies, essentially changes the cockpit experience. It fully applies digital technology to bring comprehensive functions and novel experiences to drivers. The virtual cockpit was exhibited at CES 2019 and gained widespread attention from the industry. Through the self-developed ZD Box, we have not only realized the signal simulation of the whole vehicle, but also the reproduction of the whole set of new functions related to EV Telematics, including energy management, power control, driving monitoring, etc.
The use of simulation to solve the problem of optimizing the navigation path based on the remaining power of the EV is very avant-garde in the industry. Conceptually, the virtual cockpit shows that it is possible to embed system functions in the cockpit through simulation without having to build a car. The necessary development work and comfort for the user can be determined. ZD is using its research capabilities to create innovative simulation solutions to create more driving convenience for new electric vehicles.

AUTOMATION LINE
Automation Generation 3AI-G3
The third generation of our automation solutions is the most flexible system in our range. It is designed for maximum variability, which means it can be ordered in the raw version shown or already equipped with components from ZD. For productive use, additional devices can be easily connected or removed from the setup, supported by the intelligent design of the system. Despite these advantages, the Automation Generation 3 remains compact and lightweight.

Test Rack Module Generation 1TRM-G1
The Test Rack Module is our flexible solution for the test automation, which is designed for 19 inch racks. The practical drawer design allows easy exchange of components as well as direct replacement of the complete setup. The mounting as well as the cabling of the components are individually adapted in coordination with our customers. Thus we achieve an optimal connection of the common bus systems like CAN, Ethernet 100/1000 Base-T1 and serial. This allows most infotainment control units to be tested with the Test Rack Module.
