Merry Christmas from ARRK Engineering! As we embrace the festive season, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional colleagues, valued clients, and partners. Your trust and support have made this year one filled with remarkable achievements in engineering innovation. May this Christmas bring joy, peace, and warmth to you and your loved ones. As we look ahead to a new year, we’re excited to collaborate on exciting projects and reach new milestones together. Wishing you a happy and inspiring holiday season!

We’re already looking forward to CTI in 2025 and would love to WELCOME you there to share more about our latest developments! But today, we want to thank everyone who visited our booth at this year’s CTI SYMPOSIUM - Automotive • Powertrain • Systems in Berlin. It was great to meet you, exchange ideas, and showcase what we’ve been working on. Your interest and feedback mean a lot to us. Until then, thank you again for your support, and see you soon! #ARRK #ARRKEngineering #CTI #CTISymposium

A significant change for European companies: Sustainability reports are going to be just as central to corporate reporting as e. g. financial reports. The directive aims to ensure that companies provide reliable and thus comparable sustainability data, uniform standards create transparency and are intended to redirect investments toward sustainable technologies and businesses - but at the same time, they pose major challenges for many medium-sized companies. In this interview, we explore the key requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the challenges in its implementation, and the strategic opportunities that may arise for companies in the future, together with our experts for corporate sustainability consulting, Dr. Jens Ramsbrock, Dr. Kesheng Shu and Alexander Roas.

The ISO GPS Congress 2024 in Chemnitz (November, 19th – 21st ) focused on the latest developments in geometric product specification (ISO-GPS) and provided practical insights for professionals in development, design, manufacturing, and metrology. Our colleagues from ARRK Engineering's tolerance management team were able to gain valuable information about the latest standard updates and actively participate in lively discussion sessions.

Exciting News! We’re happy to share a brand-new promotional video from our partner Synera, showcasing an inspiring customer success story with ARRK.  Synera's innovative low-code solution has revolutionized the way our engineering teams work, enabling effortless automation of CAE processes, seamless integration of tools and data, and straightforward access to AI resources.   Thanks to Synera, we can visually optimise coding tasks across disciplines, enabling fully automated workflows. The result? Less manual effort, faster project delivery, and a major boost to our competitiveness at ARRK Engineering. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/dU9GyW3z

14 Deep Dive Sessions, more than 80 Expert Lectures, 25 hours of professional exchange and networking – that is what our colleagues from the Powertrain department are enjoying at this year’s CTI Symposium from in Berlin. Some of the main topics in 2024 are:   ·       AI in Powertrain Development ·       Electric Motors and Power Electronics ·       Transmission Components ·       Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles ·       Electric, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Powertrains        Maximilian Zinner Leading Expert Powertrain at ARRK Engineering, has in cooperation with Björn Scheiffele from DEF (dynamic E flow) spoken about the potential of high performance rotor cooling techniques in externally excited motors. Today, meet our team at booth number D-2! #arrkengineering #engineering #powertrain #automotive #motors #cars #electric #hybrid #fuel

The growing focus on climate change, renewable energy, and the energy transition is driving a rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), both now and in the future. Currently, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) are widely used in EVs due to their efficiency and performance. However, their reliance on rare earth materials, supplied by only a few sources, makes it nearly impossible to diversify the supply chain and leads to a direct cost dependency. Externally Excited Synchronous Machines (EESMs) present a promising alternative for many vehicle types, offering the potential to reduce dependency on rare earth materials. Despite this advantage, EESMs face a key drawback: lower torque at low speeds compared to PMSMs. Maximilian Zinner, Leading Expert Powertrain at ARRK Engineering, is going to speak about the potential of high performance rotor cooling techniques in externally excited motors. See you at CTI Symposium, 2-4 December 2024! #climatechange #arrkengineering #powertrain

You can’t feel the cold when you’re playing soccer! 12 teams of our employees challenged each other on the soccer field at another successful edition of the ARRK Soccer Cup! Congrats to the winners and many thanks to all the participants! #soccer #arrkengineering #arrkengineeringsoccercup

Last week, we were at the HOKO trade fair at the Hochschule München. We had the opportunity to have many interesting conversations with students. 

Here are the highlights from our functional safety ML-ADAS Team (Václav Diviš, Bastian Spatz), TRust Your GENerator (TRYGEN): Enhancing Out-of-Model Scope Detection   In this research, we tackled a crucial challenge: detecting Out-of-Model Scope (OMS) inputs to enhance the robustness and reliability of machine learning systems, particularly for safety-critical applications like autonomous driving and medical diagnostics.   Key contributions of TRYGEN include:   1.     A novel OMS detection pipeline: Integrating three sources—the original input, its latent feature representation, and a synthesized version generated from its latent features.   2.     Robust defense against distributional shifts and adversarial attacks: Demonstrating the power of combining original and synthetic data for enhanced system safety.   3.     Plug-and-train flexibility: Our method can integrate any encoder into the pipeline seamlessly.   4.     Thorough evaluation: Sensitivity analysis to identify the most effective input combinations for OMS detection.   TRYGEN achieved state-of-the-art results in computer vision, showcasing its potential to redefine how OMS detection can be approached, making systems more resilient to unknown and potentially hazardous inputs.   Curious to learn more about how this method improves the safety and adaptability of ML systems? Check out our detailed findings and the comprehensive methodology that powers TRYGEN. https://lnkd.in/d-MygCv4 Thank you for the highly professional contribution: Bastian Spatz and Marek Hruz. We did this work in cooperation with University of West Bohemia, Pilsen.
