Gantner Instruments is pleased to announce that is has appointed Bienfait B.V. as business partner in the Netherlands. Bienfait will support Gantner Instruments’ entire portfolio of test and measurement solutions. The appointment provides stronger local support for the country’s rapid growth in key sectors like high-tech systems, energy, water and advanced composite materials.

The future brings more distributed and adaptive monitoring and control applications, this requires better and faster utilization of data streams. Reliable and distributed data acquisition are mandatory, this is why Gantner Instruments developed GI.cloud.

Such was the question asked by electronics apprentice Fabio Rudigier when determining a suitable topic for his final project as part of his final apprenticeship examination. He wanted to develop a machine that measures the force applied by an arm press and displays it visually on a display device.
