A&D Technology, Inc. Releases Innovative Software for Powertrain Optimization.ANN ARBOR Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , Mich. -- A&D is proud to announce ORION, the newest addition to its line of Powertrain testing systems. ORION joins ATLAS as a solution for calibration optimization. ORION was developed in conjunction with IAV IAV Interim Armored Vehicle (US Army) IAV Institute for American Values IAV Inventory Adjustment Voucher IAV International Association of Volcanology IAV Irradiance Average IAV International Authorized Version GmbH as a tool to encapsulate en·cap·su·late v. 1. To form a capsule or sheath around. 2. To become encapsulated. en·cap both IAV's extensive powertrain calibration experience and A&D's many years of providing first-class testing tools for the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. . "Our customers are struggling to reduce powertrain calibration time," said Yoichiro (Eddie) Koyama, President of A&D Technology, "and this is the latest tool that we have developed to help them optimize a complex powertrain in a substantially reduced timeframe." "IAV is excited about the tangible result of our collaboration with A&D," said Karsten Ropke, Director of Development Methods/Test Bench Automation at IAV. "We now have the ability to embed some of the advanced calibration methodology we have developed into a powerful and flexible commercial tool to address a hot issue for the industry." ORION is a tool that enables the creation of optimized calibrations for a powertrain ECU. In conjunction with a model-based calibration environment, ORION enables the user to create an optimization strategy for a specific test cell by leveraging the building blocks pioneered by IAV. ORION can interface with most test cell automation systems (e.g. A&D iTest or AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) See mobile positioning. PUMA) and ECU calibration tools (e.g. ETAS INCA or ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. Vision(TM)) to gather the required data and produce the required ECU calibrations. Included is a real-time computation engine ensuring best possible performance. About A&D Technology, Inc. A&D Technology, Inc. is a subsidiary of the multinational firm A&D Company, Ltd.
