What is the Innovation Call?
The state of Vorarlberg wants to support innovative ideas. Small and medium-sized enterprises have the opportunity to submit their innovative projects and receive funding. The focus is on project implementation, from development to series production.
The state of Vorarlberg recently evaluated and funded what they believe to be the seven best projects from digitalization and green tech as part of the call for proposals.
Innovation in this context is understood as follows: Implementation of a new business idea up to the development of completely new markets and business models.
The seven selected projects are receiving a grant of 50 percent of the eligible project costs where the start date is no later than three months after submission and the duration is up to 12 months.
Submitted projects were judged on the following characteristics:
- Degree of innovation of the project,
- Market potential,
- Competence of the applicants,
- likelihood of implementation,
- Overall impression
The projects were judged and selected by a jury of experts made up of companies from the region. Our CEO Werner Ganahl proudly served as a member of the jury.
We are happy to see so many talented people in our area and want to congratulate all participants for their innovative ideas.
Gantner Instruments is always looking for talented people to join our team.

Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator
After 9 years in construction, the stellarator (nuclear-fusion machine) of the Max Planck Institute in Greifswald generated plasma for the first time on December 10, 2015. The reactor had been gradually ramped up over the past 12 months. The event was given extensive coverage in the media. Gantner Instruments specially developed sensors for temperature and strain measurement for the project, which are otherwise unavailable on the market.

Safe, secure, and traceable data acquisition is essential in complex, large-scale scientific environments like the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Reliable remote access is critical to supporting the diverse team members in their data acquisition (DAQ) setup and operations. Collaborating with the Blinky-lite team, we have implemented a test setup that successfully navigates these challenges in constrained environments.

Strain is the single most important measurement during aircraft fatigue testing. The accuracy and precision of strain gauge measurements is of the greatest importance to exactly determine the durability and damage tolerance of a structure. The higher a structure is in the ‘pyramid of test’, the higher the test complexity, number of measurement channels, and data produced. On top of that the risk in terms of time delay and cost associated to a test program increases more than proportional with the increase in test complexity. Here are six tips to help you choose the right data acquisition system for your fatigue test:
