QPS

  • Meeting directives, such as ELV REACh and RoHS continues to be essential requirements. QPS delivers on all of these needs. QPS complies with the conditions set forth in the ISO 9001: 2015.

     

    QPS helps automotive engineers to specify the right products in a sustainable world. The steady evolution of the program has enabled many global OEM’s to specify ever-higher performance standards and represents:

    • Approved applicators: Applying these products to a common audited standard ensures the same coating performance throughout the applicator base.
    • High performance: Exceeding the high demands for corrosion resistance and exceptionally consistent torque and tension characteristics.
    • Global consistency: Wherever ZinKlad, DecoKlad or XMAPP standards are applied, applicators know they are using the same high-performance products.

    What do we do?

    QPS flow chart

    We supply and develop QPS standards that meet and exceed OEM specifications. We validate applicators processes by conducting audits, carrying out inspections and testing the production output to make sure they meet pre-defined QPS standards and agreed technical requirements.

    We monitor and report results on a global scale to be able to service and continuously improve performance. 

    Why do we do what we do?

    We believe that we are able to assure a global consistent performance at a local level meeting the global OEM requirements with a select number of world class applicators.

    How do we do what we do?

    ESI Automotive has developed a unique Quality Performance System called QPS that tackles the challenges for high-performance automotive coatings. OEM’s can be confident that the same coatings and consistent performance are available worldwide.

Central Computer

The central computer is considered the brain of the vehicle, the coordinating center for all information fusion. To execute a safe outcome, it will rely on data from many systems and machine learning. This supercomputer will contain the most advanced technology seen in the electronics industry today. Speed, processing power and reliability will be paramount to its success, especially in a life critical application.

Connectivity

Automotive connectivity is a platform that hosts many nodes which will progress with further adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and full vehicle autonomy. Though currently in its infancy, at minimum this network will contain WiFi, 5G, DSCR, V2V, V2X and other communication pathways to create not only a safe but entertaining experience for the occupants. The technology to ensure proper function will require fast speeds and the ability to perform at high frequencies.

Camera

Cameras are the main component of today’s vision systems. They are one of the fastest growing sensors in advanced safety. Currently, automotive cameras are similar in design to those used in consumer electronics but require much higher reliability. The critical resolution needed for next level autonomy will push designs to increased interconnections throughout the hardware.

Radar

Radar sensors are one of the fastest growing segments in advanced safety on the path to full autonomy. The characteristics of the technology allow for use in all weather conditions. Radar sensors contribute to many of the advanced safety systems used in all new cars today ranging from blind spot detection to forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Very specific design and performance characteristics dictate the materials used for the success of this hardware.

Lidar

Light detecting and ranging is the fastest changing technology associated to advanced safety. There is debate surrounding the necessity for lidar to create fully autonomous vehicles. Regardless of opinion, technologists have quickly reduced size and cost to advance its acceptance for mass usage. Size and cost continue to be a main factor in adoption.

Safety Systems (ADAS)

introduction

Enhancing safety systems to reach next level autonomy

The path to a fully autonomous vehicle starts with creating systems that work both individually and in concert to create a safer, more efficient driving experience. Today your supply chains provide hardware and software that inform the driver of potential hazards. At higher levels of autonomy, these will also intervene with the driver to create a safer outcome. 

Material choices

To ensure required function and reliability of these systems, optimized material choices need to be made. Your road to success can be achieved faster by innovating for miniaturization, enhanced reliability and the use of unique substrates. 

At ESI Automotive we take a holistic view of hardware. This perspective provides solutions that give you greater design freedom through enhanced reliability and increased performance.

Our long history and experience in aerospace and consumer products proves that miniaturization, reliability and substrate trends are also universal for automotive electronics.

Scientists designing PCB

Full autonomy starts with creating electronic systems that work individually and in concert. This creates a safer, more reliable and efficient driving experience for the end user.

ADAS radar and vision systems are the largest growing segments. It is key that ADAS sensors reliably interact within vehicles and with their surroundings. This produces consistent reactions to complex scenarios during all stages of autonomous driving. 

Our holistic approach to hardware designs provides you with tailored solutions. These will allow you and your suppliers greater design freedom. This is achieved through component miniaturization, enhanced reliability and choosing the optimum substrate. You can hear and read more about these trends by viewing the webinars (multimedia) and news sections below.
