Designing a test system without losing sight of the application and the user requires a great deal of experience and background knowledge. Smart productizing describes the path from the initial idea to industrialization and distribution for the worldwide sale of test systems. Using the example of a Bosch Super HIL system, all relevant steps and challenges from concept to industrialization for a reproducible system are presented. Understanding customer requirements, consulting, the design concept, the selection of components and the right price/performance ratio for the task are key factors for success.

• Industrialisation of test systems
• Criteria for component selection
• Differences in the areas of test systems applications
• Pitfalls in system design
• Wishes versus feasibility
