Case Study: a Global 2000 automotive manufacturing company improves IT hardware evaluation with UL Solutions PCMark 10

Real-world IT hardware performance evaluation with UL’s benchmarking solution

UL Solutions worked with a Global 2000 automotive manufacturing company whose IT hardware standardization team had to manage and evaluate several thousand devices across about 50 device types, including office notebooks, workstations, and rugged devices. To support hardware selection and maintain business productivity, the team needed a reliable way to compare device performance against standardized baselines and identify issues that could affect system stability.

The company used UL Solutions’ PCMark 10 benchmarking software to evaluate real-world PC performance during hardware assessment, successor device selection, and Windows 10 driver comparisons. UL Solutions’ tests helped the team spot performance problems caused by compatibility or configuration issues, such as outdated drivers or incorrect Windows images, and better troubleshoot devices that returned errors or zero scores.
