Comau Pico implemented GENESIS32 software across multiple cold and hot engine test stands at Ford Motor Company facilities. The system handles several hundred tags per stand, records test parameters, and stores trending data to an Oracle database. Results support production scheduling, preventative maintenance, and supply chain component planning across six Ford engine plants.
