MEASURING & SENSOR SYSTEMS
Today’s Industry 4.0 approach requires that information are spread through different contexts in order to achieve new performances and results. These informations must be acquired using the best industrial-grade sensors and measurement systems.
With us you will find experts for the concept, design and implementation of tailor-made measurement systems and sensor solutions.
We will find the best technology for you, as well as the right method to apply the chosen measurement principle for the specific task.
To do this, we plan experiments for you and carry out series of measurements on site as well as in the laboratory. The data and signals collected are analysed and evaluated by our experts. The results are documented in appropriate reports. Finally, we discuss the results with you in detail.
Once a technology has been chosen we can manage the development and industrialization of embedded measurement solutions or we can integrate industrial sensors inside custom-built automation platforms.
