CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY 1: CPC-Intervention on Balance
CPC is an additional function for weighing technology in long-term weighing. It prevents drifts in the weighing process caused by physical and climatic changes in the environment of the scale. CPC stands for "climatic and physic compensation". The compensation applies to all subsequent measurements. This has two benefits. Firstly, the measurement uncertainty is reduced and secondly, the need for room air conditioning is eliminated in order to be able to measure at this high level at all.
CASE STUDY 2: Root Cause Analysis Barcode Reading Issue
Changes in the label material have led to reading errors of barcodes in diagnostics. Our task was to find the cause of the reading errors and define the specification for 100% successful barcode readings. The breakthrough was achieved in close cooperation with the customer and reading experiments with gradually damaged barcodes in fine gradation and with different characteristics. "Cause found quickly"
CASE STUDY 3: Systematic Bug Fixing
An analysis instrument was equipped with new hardware and software. Our task was to work out the necessary test concepts in order to have a 100% satisfactory instrument on the market in the shortest possible time. A very small team of motivated specialists and a strictly organised grid plan with the three key elements "option", "trigger" and "functional area" led us to our goal.
CASE STUDY 4: Testing Friction Coefficient
A module should be replaced on a space part. The task was to determine the friction coefficient of the screw connection in an absolutely dust-free environment, which corresponds to the friction conditions in space. The resulting measuring process is still in use today. The extremely high coefficients of friction of the screws astonished us all.
CASE STUDY 5: Transport Sumulation at -30°C
A mass product of medical technology was to be shipped in non air-conditioned instead of the very expensive air-conditioned sea freight containers. Would the parts survive the change? To answer this question, we looked into transport standards and carried out drop tests in rooms with temperatures below -30°C. The conditions for this were created in our laboratory.
