Company
Kleinknecht Automotive GmbH develops and manufactures electronic measurement and application systems for the automotive industry, in particular ECU calibration, monitoring and control tools. Founded in 1987 in Wolfratshausen near Munich, the company contributed its proprietary protocols to the standardization of ASAM standards in the early 1990s and joined the FlexRay Consortium as a Development Member in 2005. The systems support calibration, rapid prototyping of powertrain control strategies based on MATLAB/Simulink, and measurement tasks such as crankshaft timing verification and combustion analysis (Crank Analyzer). All products are manufactured in the company's own ISO 9001-certified production area, with closed-loop quality management and a fast feedback chain. Customers include BMW M GmbH, whose ECU development was supported with Kleinknecht tools. The company serves customers worldwide and maintains a branch in Yokohama, Japan, for the Asia-Pacific region.
