Industrial Test & Control Systems
Custom test and control systems for factory, field and subsea applications.
Bespoke test and control systems for factory, field and subsea use — durability rigs, inline spectral and vision inspection, line qualification and acoustic target simulation, with the software to run them.
Through alliances with suppliers of industrial test equipment and software solutions, we have created test equipment for use in factories, in the field, and even underwater. Many of these solutions are still working many years later.
Core Capabilities
End-to-end test and control systems — purpose-built hardware plus the control and data software to run long, repeatable programmes.
- Durability test rigs — Hydraulic endurance testing for hoses, fuel filters and excavator motors, with integrated control and data software.
- Inline spectral process control — Motion-synchronised spectroscopy monitors coating density at hundreds of spectra per second on a moving line.
- Production-line visual inspection — Machine-vision quality inspection spanning food, components, flooring and gaming products.
- Field line qualification — Line-powered copper/DSL test handsets measuring impedance, noise and FFT response.
- Subsea acoustic simulation — Hydrophone and speaker arrays that emulate ship and submarine sonar signatures for training and development.
- Factory → subsea — Operating environments covered
- 100s/sec — Spectra captured for inline process control
How it works
Requirements & feasibility
We pin down what must be measured or controlled, the environment and the accuracy required, and de-risk the hard engineering before significant budget is committed.
Rig & sensor design
We design the test hardware, sensors and signal chains — from hydraulic endurance rigs to line-powered handsets and hydrophone arrays — for the conditions they must survive.
Control & data software
We build the software that sequences tests, captures and analyses data, and integrates with production lines and existing equipment.
Deployment & long-term support
We support installation and commissioning in the factory or field, and keep systems running for the long service lives our customers expect.
