Competent opinion
We are now in the transition phase to the transport of the future
Аннотация
Рассказывает коммерческий директор направления контрольно-измерительных решений Группы компаний «Диполь» Н. А. Болдырев.
Современный автомобиль немыслим без электроники. Она не только управляет работой его основных агрегатов, но и обеспечивает информирование водителя, комфорт пассажиров и делает транспортное средство более безопасным. На дорогах появляется всё больше электромобилей, где широко применяются электронные устройства большой мощности. Всё идет к тому, что рано или поздно мы пересядем на беспилотные транспортные средства, в которых роль электронного оборудования невозможно переоценить.
Всё это накладывает высокие требования на качество и надежность современной и перспективной автоэлектроники, а следовательно, и на оборудование, с помощью которого проводятся ее контроль и испытания. Такое оборудование предлагает Группа компаний «Диполь», в которой эта область выделена в отдельное направление.
О данных решениях, особенностях контроля и испытаний в автомобилестроении, а также в целом о перспективах развития транспортных средств и электроники для них мы поговорили с коммерческим директором направления контрольно-измерительных решений Группы компаний «Диполь» Никитой Алексеевичем Болдыревым.
