Process Engineering: Ensuring Excellence in Manufacturing
ILERI Group’s process engineering capabilities are critical to the efficient and high-quality production of our products. We employ a structured Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process that ensures every product meets the highest standards from the design phase through to mass production.
- APQP Process Integration: This approach guarantees that quality is embedded into every stage of product development, minimizing risks and optimizing outcomes.
- Building Tools and Equipment: We design and manufacture custom tools and equipment that support the production of our steering systems, latches, and motion controls, ensuring precision and repeatability across manufacturing processes.
- Developing and Validating Product and Manufacturing Processes: We rigorously test and validate both our product designs and manufacturing processes to maintain high standards of quality and reliability.
- Turnkey Process Engineering and Technology Transfer: Our end-to-end process engineering services, including turnkey solutions and technology transfer, enable seamless product launches and manufacturing optimization.
Our process engineering ensures that every ILERI Group product—from steering columns to motion control components—is produced with precision and consistency, delivering unparalleled performance and durability.
PV&V Center: Comprehensive Verification and Validation
The ILERI Group’s Verification and Validation (PV&V) Center is the cornerstone of our commitment to quality and reliability. Our state-of-the-art testing facilities allow us to subject our products to rigorous evaluations, ensuring they perform reliably under a wide range of conditions.
- Dynamic Stiffness Testing: This advanced test capability evaluates the stiffness of components under varying loads, providing critical insights into the performance of steering systems, latches, and other motion control components. Our ability to conduct dynamic stiffness tests ensures that our products can withstand real-world stresses, enhancing their reliability and longevity.
- Endurance/Life Cycle Testing: By simulating long-term usage, we validate the durability of our products, ensuring they meet or exceed customer expectations over their operational lifespan.
- Extreme Load Testing: We test critical components, including steering and latch systems, under extreme load conditions to verify their strength and resilience.
- Climatic Testing and Ingress Protection: Our products undergo climatic testing and ingress protection evaluations to ensure they perform reliably in diverse environments, from extreme temperatures to high humidity and dust conditions.
- Salt Spray and Corrosion Testing: We assess the corrosion resistance of our components, particularly for applications exposed to harsh conditions, such as automotive and industrial environments.
- Destructive and Non-Destructive Weld Testing: We perform both destructive and non-destructive weld tests to validate the integrity of welds in our structural and motion control components.
- Dimensional and Coordinate Measuring Inspection: Our inspection processes ensure that every product meets exact specifications, contributing to the overall reliability and safety of our solutions.
