Communication and Calibration

Sterner Automation has also developed a variety of calibration and communication products because of our involvement in automotive, primarily with occupant classification systems. Sterner Automation is a world leader in ECU interface systems and chances are that the car that you drive was talking to a Sterner Automation interface device when it was being built. These interface devices provide a reliable communication channel to the car intelligence that is normally not available at the machine control level. This added level of control increases the reliability of the system, and when dealing with vehicle safety systems, the added layer of control provides peace of mind.

Today's automotive applications demand flexible integration tools to ensure test equipment can meet changing technological and communication requirements. Sterner Automation has developed the next generation of testing interface solutions specially designed to address multiple technologies, including occupant classification systems (OCS). The Sterner interface box (SIB) provides our customers with the capability to efficiently operate, monitor and report on end-of-line (EOL) test equipment anywhere in the world.
