Innovation Call with CEO Werner Ganahl of Gantner Instruments

State funding for seven future digital projects The best digital innovation projects in Vorarlberg have been sought and funded. Seven projects are receiving a total of 130,000 euros in state funding.

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.

6 Tips for Stress-free Strain Measurement during Fatigue Testing of Aircraft Structures

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:

Precision Quiescent-Current Measurement with Q.raxx X slimline A108 2SC

Quiescent current measurement is essential across various industries, notably in the development of battery-powered devices, automotive electronics, and energy-efficient technologies. Also known as standby current, this crucial parameter measures the current in electronic systems during idle states, significantly impacting power consumption, battery longevity, and overall efficiency. Minor inaccuracies in its measurement can lead to considerable consequences.
