Hi, we are HILAB — a consultant company specializing in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) development.
When the automotive industry shifted toward being more software-defined, it fundamentally changed how systems are built. Instead of integrating decentralized systems from suppliers, today’s vehicles rely on in-house developed software running on centralized ECUs.
This change provides more flexibility and value for customers, but it also raises the bar for testing and verification. Now, software needs to meet the high standards expected in modern automotive environments. That's why HIL and SIL test environments are more essential than ever.
HILAB's founders, Eric and David, saw the growing need for advanced software testing and the lack of deep expertise in the field — and created HILAB to solve exactly that.
We're a company built from the ground up to deliver high-quality, real hardware/software testing — From Sensor To Actuator
