The ASAP Group remains firmly fixed on its growth course: by moving into a modern 2,000 square metre office building in Munich, ASAP has secured the space required for continuous expansion of its Electrics/Electronics service segment and the ASAP Center of Excellence for Data Science/AI. The four pillars of the Electrics/Electronics service segment at the Munich site are test systems, XIL modelling, wire harness development and series production support for central vehicle infrastructure. ASAP’s Munich location focuses, on the one hand, on designing and producing turnkey test systems for validating driver-assistance systems up to SAE Level 5, producing associated test automations and structuring all processes from test design through to evaluation. On the other hand, XIL modelling is a key driver of the Munich branch’s growth: ASAP offers its customers services including agile model development for validation of autonomous driving functions. There has also been continued growth in relation to wire harness development. For instance, the integration of Sigl Bordnetz Design GmbH – a specialist in physical wire harness development – into the ASAP Group in January 2022 has enabled the corporate group to offer its customers uniquely comprehensive, integrated wire harness development services. The two companies are now set to move closer together in physical terms – with plans for Sigl Bordnetz GmbH staff to move into the same building later this year. Another important area for the Munich site is series production support in relation to central vehicle infrastructure, for which ASAP oversees and manages processes and components for physical wire hardness and power supply components, electronic components and associated systems. Above all, however, the significant expansion of the Munich site is in response to the growth of the ASAP Centre of Excellence for Data Science/AI. ASAP has vastly expanded its competencies and capacities in this area in recent months and intends to continue this development in the months ahead. A current data science project – for which ASAP has received state funding in recognition of its innovative character – aims to develop an assistance system for test engineers. In this project, ASAP is using machine learning and statistical data analysis to automate anomaly detection in measurement data. “Moving into the new office premises allows us to increase the capacity of our Munich site and further consolidate our services in relation to Electrics/Electronics and Data Science/AI while also setting a new benchmark for the well-being factor in ASAP offices,” said Robert Werner, COO of the ASAP Group at the Munich site. “We integrated the latest insights from our ‘Better together’ cultural initiative and the New Work concept into the new premises’ design. Not only have we doubled the space available to us, we have also created modern work environments with a focus on providing even greater flexibility for our employees.”
