AUREL experimental laboratory: ensure quality and drive Innovation

Today, product development in the automotive industry is inseparable from testing. Whether it’s designing a component, selecting materials, or optimising part performance in real-world conditions, every step must be thoroughly validated. At AUREL, we operate an experimental laboratory for exactly these purposes. Here, we verify the results of CAE analyses under real-world conditions and provide valuable feedback to the development teams of leading automotive companies.

Verification of CAE analyses through testing

At AUREL, we connect CAE simulations with real-world testing to verify the accuracy of computational models. We conduct physical experiments that provide developers with critical insights into the functionality, durability, and reliability of components. This enables us to offer companies comprehensive development support based on validated data.

Types of tests

As part of our experimental laboratory services, we offer three main types of testing:

• Component Testing: We conduct both static and dynamic tests on various types of components. Either using our internally developed methodologies or based on the technical specifications provided by the customer.
• Material Testing: We assess ductility, strength limits, material durability, and behaviour under different conditions. When needed, we also develop corresponding CAE (FEM) material models.
• Specialised Testing and Measurements: We manage the full process – from test design to realisation. Measurements are carried out according to the specific needs of each company, either in our lab or directly at the customer’s site. These tests are typically accompanied by the measurement of mechanical or physical parameters.

Testing is the foundation of product quality and a driver of innovation

At AUREL, testing isn’t just about development – it’s also a key element of quality assurance. In our laboratory, we rigorously test both prototypes and serial production parts through physical experiments. This helps our clients minimise risk and ensure the reliability of their products.

Thorough testing of technologies is essential for their safe deployment in real-world operation. AUREL specialises in verifying individual sensors, algorithms, and complete autonomous systems. By combining CAE simulations with experimental testing, we deliver truly comprehensive solutions to our customers. Each challenge is approached individually – from experiment design to results interpretation. We look for connections, identify root causes, and propose optimal solutions.

Cutting-edge technology combined with a personalised service

The AUREL Experimental Laboratory is fully equipped for testing both vehicles and individual components. It features cutting-edge instruments and the latest technologies. Our laboratory team is made up of highly educated specialists with expertise across a wide range of technical disciplines. They bring over 30 years of industry experience to the table. Over the years, our services have contributed to the development of numerous components for many leading automotive brands.

Want to accelerate development and shorten your product innovation cycle?

We can quickly compare simulation results with real-world data and respond flexibly to any discrepancies. This process not only improves calculation accuracy but also creates room for faster development and innovation. That’s why AUREL is a strong partner for companies aiming to bring products to market faster, while significantly increasing their quality and reliability.

The AUREL Experimental Laboratory combines precise testing, a tailored approach, and a comprehensive range of services.
