Peugeot Citroën Selects nCode Software As Its Test Data Processing Platform

SOUTHFIELD, MI - January 31, 2007: nCode International, a global provider of durability based software & instrumentation solutions that help manufacturers and operators eliminate unexpected product failures, announced today that PSA Peugeot Citroën has selected nCode’s ICE-flow GlyphWorks 4.0 software as its test data processing platform dedicated to reliability and fatigue analysis, making PSA Peugeot Citroën one of the largest installations of GlyphWorks worldwide.

Selected by PSA Peugeot Citroën after a detailed one year competitive evaluation, GlyphWorks is a powerful easy-to-use environment that enables engineers to interactively build and run analytical processes on mega multi-channel datasets. GlyphWorks provides a wide range of data processing and visualization capabilities with specialized options ranging from fatigue analysis and accelerated testing to frequency domain tools such as octave analysis and rotating machinery analysis.

GlyphWorks replaces PSA Peugeot Citroën’s custom software and will be used by over one hundred users at four different PSA Peugeot Citroën sites for overall vehicle durability, fatigue and vibration analysis. “nCode’s software provides PSA Peugeot Citroën with an easy-to-use, standard solution powerful enough to process and manage over 800 gigabytes of data from different sources such as proving grounds, customer monitoring sites, and laboratory test rigs. We expect to realize significant productivity gains from accelerated testing, thus lowering our costs, as well as faster processing speed by being able to upload test data into an ASAM ODS data base,” said Jacques Mercier, responsible for the Customer Usage Synthesis Department.

“nCode is delighted to have been chosen by PSA Peugeot Citroën.,” said Brian Dabell, nCode CEO. “As a leading European manufacturer, PSA Peugeot Citroën had a number of unique requirements which I am pleased nCode could meet. This further illustrates how nCode’s products are well aligned to customer needs, and underscores the unique value that GlyphWorks provides,” he added.
