Sustainable development

Driving progress through expertise.

The combination of scientific approaches, decades of engineering experience and the competence of interdisciplinary teams enables us to deliver continuous progress and innovative solutions to our customers.

We are passionately committed to solving technical challenges and do so by employing a holistically interdisciplinary approach. Our focus is not merely on the individual components or aspects of a system, but encompasses the way they interact with and respond to each other. Our flexible and customer-focused competence in delivering solutions interfaces seamlessly with consistent product development and modular design principles. These approaches complement each other perfectly, thereby creating truly unique added value for our customers.

TESTING SYSTEMS

Our core expertise

We deliver test systems and methods for components and entire systems, ranging from test beds to complete test bays – all from a single source. Consistency in project management, passion, long-standing experience and ongoing refinement are our tools.


SIMULATION & MODELLING

We leave nothing to chance

Application-oriented fundamental research serves as the basis for the model development and simulation that we employ when conventional methods reach their limits. Our interdisciplinary approach demands both a full command of modelling methodologies as well as in-depth understanding of the real systems involved. We drive innovation forwards and support our customers across the full range of industry sectors that we serve with the high-level technical competence in solution development that our colleagues bring to the table. Our close relationships to university research facilities and numerous collaborations both with colleges of applied sciences and universities expand our resource options. Whether optimizing pressure control in processes with gaseous media, controlling electric motors, analysing the torsional vibration of rotating systems or developing and modelling FPGA modules – we offer custom solutions for complex challenges.


ADVANCED ENGINEERING

Mastering complex challenges

Our decades of know-how in the areas of machine dynamics, FEM, thermodynamics and control engineering combined with the use of cutting-edge simulation tools enable us to deliver best-in-class engineering solutions. Whether challenges in handling high rotational speeds or very high torques, acoustic applications, vibration issues or hydrodynamic matters – we provide comprehensive support to efficiently develop solutions.


INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

Shaping power

With our flexible and highly dynamic power converter system, the Advanced Modular Power System (KS-AMPS), we can realize a wide range of applications, both simply and with optimization for specific requirements. The modular architecture ensures that functional and power enhancements are uncomplicated: A system solution, for instance, for highly dynamic control of electric motors, applications in electrolysis processes, tasks in the area of battery technology or combined applications, especially in high-end power ranges.


SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

Creating knowledge – using knowledge

The world around us is becoming more complex and increasingly high-tech. We face these challenges and employ scientific approaches and the knowledge and capabilities from various disciplines for systematic problem solving. The models and simulations we create enable the analysis and optimization of complex systems. This is especially useful when physical tests would be too laborious, tedious or dangerous. We create tools and use data analysis and interpretation to identify patterns and trends that would otherwise be overlooked. For technical manufacturing processes, we generate data analyses, for example, that forecast machine failures and facilitate the planning of preventive maintenance measures.


MODEL BASED CONTROL

Control based on system understanding

We develop simulation models capable of operating in real time as well as robust control concepts for demanding applications – for instance in the automotive and semiconductor industries. The combination of KS frequency converter technology, model-based control engineering and a holistic view of both the testing task and the test bed components forms the basis for the dynamics and precision our high-performance testing technology delivers.


REAL-TIME SYSTEMS & DIGITAL SIGNALPROCESSING

Deterministic behaviour and exacting preparation

We develop high-precision, freely configurable real-time measurement data acquisition systems for demanding measurement, control and monitoring tasks. Our solutions cover a wide range of applications – from research test beds to end-of-line tests in series production.


MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

Exacting, high-acquisition-rate capture

Modern measurement technology is a central component for quality assurance as well as research and development in numerous industry sectors. With our comprehensive know-how in high-acquisition-rate measurements, ultra-fast signal processing and the use of high-quality sensor and measurement technology, we support our customers in the precision capture and evaluation of complex physical processes – reliably, efficiently and with an application-oriented focus.


SOFTWARE & AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

Holistic automation

With our comprehensive in-house competence in software development, we realize flexible and powerful software solutions. This includes, among other things, the Tornado Software Suite – a freely configurable automation system that has been specially developed with testing technology in mind. DACO enables the intelligent acquisition and evaluation of production data from a wide range of systems, thus creating the basis for data-driven process optimization.


ENERGY SYSTEMS & LOAD MANAGEMENT

Efficient and future-oriented

We bundle our technological competence to realize custom, holistic solutions for energy technology systems. As a reliable partner for planning and implementation, we offer decades of experience as well as innovative technologies that meet every requirement across a wide range of industry sectors.


HYDROGEN & ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

System expertise for the energy transition

With in-depth know-how and innovative technologies, we develop holistic solutions for sustainable and efficient energy use. In this context, we offer customized system expertise in all aspects of hydrogen production – using PEM electrolysers for example and safe distribution – as well as state-of-the-art measurement and safety technology.
