OpenECU can provide the resources necessary to manage a project through design, new product introduction, and volume production. Our capabilities cover all aspects of managing safety critical ECU production from supplier selection, process validation, PPAP, to in-process tool creation and specification.
Embedded Controller Volume Production Domains
Dana has expertise in various domains of volume production to create a steady supply of our standard and custom products. We can flexibly adapt our manufacturing strategy to the specific needs of a project. From regular small-run batches to thousands of units per month Dana has experience manufacturing ecus of various type and complexity.
Domains of our expertise include:
- Validation – plan, design and execute a series of tests and analyses that show both the manufacturing process and product can produce a final product that meets customer expectations
- Manufacturing – design and specify, along with our manufacturing partners, the production lines and in process equipment used to create and test the product at its various stages of assembly.
