Case Study: TUV Rheinland achieves a single source of truth for laboratory test orders with Focaloid Technologies

TUV Rheinland unifies test orders across 3 regions with Focaloid Technologies

Focaloid Technologies partnered with TUV Rheinland to address a significant challenge in its automotive safety validation laboratories. The customer's process was hampered by disconnected data, as a single test order existed in three separate and often conflicting versions: the engineering request, the laboratory schedule, and the actual activity on the test rig. This divergence led to errors, delays, and a lack of real-time visibility, which risked holding up critical product release schedules.

Focaloid Technologies implemented a unified Laboratory Test Control Platform to serve as a single record for the entire lifecycle of a test order. This solution integrated intake from the PLM system through planning, execution, and reporting, ensuring all teams worked from the same accurate, real-time data. The platform eliminated manual re-keying of data, absorbed scheduling exceptions, and provided live queue visibility on the laboratory floor. As a result, Focaloid enabled TUV Rheinland to achieve a synchronized operation across three global regions, ensuring engineering records were always current and that the published schedule reliably matched the physical work being done on the floor.
