Test & Measurement as a Service

Tested to Perform – Validated to Last

Simulating Reality

Validation with state of the art knowledge, outstanding technology and many years of experience

Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe provides testing and validation services tailored to complex automotive and industrial systems applications. With more than 25 years of experience, two very well equipped Reliability Assurance Centers (RACs), and a team of more than 70 specialized engineers, we ensure that all testing activities are conducted in accordance with customer specifications, applicable standards, and recognized norms—while maintaining full traceability and technical integrity.

Our processes are developed with reference to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and ensure the validity of results, impartiality, and technical competence in all phases of testing. We support fast turnaround times without compromising the reliability, safety, or quality of your products in their intended operating environments.

Simulating Reality

Environmental tests

We conduct environmental tests under controlled and traceable conditions to simulate real-world influences on your products. All test parameters are continuously monitored and documented to ensure data integrity and reproducibility.

 

Where required, we perform post-test physical analyses to assess the effects of environmental stress on your product. These evaluations are carried out based on your specifications and documented in a transparent and verifiable manner.

All procedures are executed using calibrated equipment and validated methods, ensuring reliable and repeatable results that support your product’s qualification and compliance.

Thermal shock and temperature cycling with condensation

Corrosion resistance testing using salt fog exposure

Ingress protection (IP) testing for dust and water, up to IPX9K

In addition to professional, reliable evaluation and validation, we are able to advise you in these areas. As your trusted partner, we help address technical challenges and ensure compliance with relevant regulatory and quality standards.

Stress Under Control

Mechanical Testing

At Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe, mechanical durability testing is performed under controlled and reproducible conditions. Our procedures ensure the validity of results, traceability, and technical reliability throughout the testing process.

Vibration and shock testing

Drop testing

Torque and tension/compression measurements

Customized mechanical setups tailored to specific application requirements

To accommodate product-specific scenarios, we collaborate closely with our clients to design and manufacture bespoke test setups in our modern in-house workshop. This ensures that the testing environment accurately reflects real-world conditions and meets the required standards.

Following test completion, we offer comprehensive post-test analysis using advanced material inspection technologies, including:

3D laser scanning (GOM)

X-ray imaging

Micrographic analysis

Surface roughness and hardness measurements

Safe Under Load

Electrical Testing

At Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe, electrical tests are performed on individually developed and precisely engineered test benches to ensure that your products maintain their performance characteristics throughout the entire test program. The traceability of measurements, technical expertise, and validity of results are always guaranteed. 

We utilize high-precision instrumentation to measure electrical performance under defined environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and vibration. This enables us to simulate real-world operating scenarios with high accuracy and reproducibility. 

We use a leading-edge high-current test bench with the following features: 

Energy capacity of up to 900kJ

Currents of up to 30,000 A

Voltages of up to 1,000 V

This setup allows us to evaluate the separation capability and current-carrying capacity of components and systems under extreme electrical loads. For detailed post-test analysis, we employ high-speed imaging technology capable of capturing up to 40,000 frames per second, enabling precise failure diagnostics and root cause analysis. 

We are also specialized in the testing of Battery Management Systems (BMS) in combination with charging technologies for a wide range of lithium-based batteries. Our expertise includes the diagnosis of charging and discharging cycles under varying temperature and environmental conditions, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards. 

System Behavior in Focus

Functional Testing

At Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe, we validate the functional integrity of electronic products at the system level, ensuring that the interaction between hardware and software meets both performance and safety requirements. All testing activities are aligned with the principles of ISO/IEC 17025, ensuring technical competence, impartiality, and validity of results. 

To achieve this, we employ both manual and automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches, enabling realistic simulation of system behavior under defined operating conditions.  

Our test methodology includes: 

Black-box testing

Diagnostic testing

ISTQB-compliant test processes (International Software Testing Qualifications Board)

Based on your specific requirements, we design tailored test sequences and scenarios. These are executed in iterative test loops until the desired level of product maturity and reliability is achieved. Our approach ensures that functional validation is not only thorough but also reproducible and traceable.
