Project examples

Specialized, tailored engineering services

ELECTRONICS

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ENGINEERS FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

ST software, firmware, hardware, or testing engineers may be placed within a TIER-1 company (or work remotely) to cover a specialized position for a customer’s project.

Example 1. ST’s testing engineer was assigned to perform software functional testing, black-box software tests related activities for automotive products: Instrument Clusters / Head-up Displays / Full Digital Clusters / Interior Display Devices / Interior Cameras, to check one or more functions, such as oil pressure, odometer, and cruise control, amongst others.

Example 2. ST’s software developer engineers were assigned to firmware development for software implementation and integration of automotive diagnostic services according to AUTOSAR 4.3 specifications.

Example 3. ST’s software development engineer and firmware development engineer were assigned to the firmware development of an automotive LED matrix that displayed real-time air quality data, as well as the development of an Android app for displaying said information (cloud-connected).

AUTOMATION

DEVOTED ENGINEERING SERVICES

ST vision application engineers and programming engineers may be on-site or on-call to tend exclusively to one customer’s facilities, ensuring local, timely support.

Example. ST’s vision applications engineers were assigned under a blanket purchase order to service all Mexico-based plants of a U.S.-leading OEM.

AUTOMATION

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF PRODUCTION LINES

ST assembly and programming engineers may install and commission a third-party production line.

Example. ST’s programming engineers and assembly technicians were assigned to a global TIER-1 technical center for the installation and commissioning of two fully automated robotic, two-story, conveyor-interconnected, door panel production lines for another TIER-1.

AUTOMATION

TECHNOLOGIES TRAINING FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

ST engineers who are specialized in key technologies and/or brands may train customers’ personnel.

Example 1. ST’s artificial vision specialized area, Vision Commando, trained TIER-1 applications engineers for them to be able to add new models to be inspected in a running production line.

Example 2. ST’s programming area trained a leading German OEM’s maintenance team in the handling and adjustment (layouts, text fields, depth of marking, etc.) of a Borries’ marking equipment for VIN marking.

ELECTRONICS

ELECTRONIC INTERFACE DESIGN AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR AUTOMOTIVE SLED TESTING SYSTEM

ST’s Smart Testing team carried out the design and connection of the electronic interface of an automotive sled testing system for a leading German OEM, as well as the development of software for the control of the said testing system.

AUTOMATION

ON-SITE, IN-LINE PROGRAMMING AND MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS

ST programming engineers may intervene in a production line, on-site, to upgrade, update, adjust, deploy, or add additional functions.

Example 1. ST’s artificial vision specialized area, Vision Commando, was assigned to one of our TIER-1 customers, for the deployment stage of a production line for seating brought from China, where our team adjusted, tested, and fine-tuned the vision system’s programming.

Example 2. ST’s San Luis Potosi Engineering Site (which includes a Mechanical Design, Assembly, and Programming team) has been devoted to a TIER-1 who hired ST for the retooling of production lines to run new models. This includes the design, mechanical manufacturing, and assembly of the toolings; but most importantly, the on-site modification of mechanical settings and the migration to a new version of their proprietary programming platform, in addition to the fine-tuning, testing, and redeployment of these production lines.
