Mercedes GLC 350e plug-in hybrid – Photo Session in Schruns

In a world of increasingly complex products and faster release cycles, the ability to accumulate and efficiently analyze test data has never been more important.

Porto is expanding its metro network, and a key challenge was building a new Douro River crossing that enhances mobility without disrupting the city’s iconic bridge landscape. The result is Ponte Ferreirinha, a slender concrete frame bridge carrying metro trains, cyclists, and pedestrians, blending seamlessly into a dense urban environment.

The amount of data generated in an aircraft structural test program continues to grow. The density of load introduction points (actuators) and sensors (strain gauges, thermocouples, LVDTs) on a test article is increasing progressively and model validation requires higher data sample rates to capture more detail. The risks and costs involved in aircraft validation and certification are significant, and the requirement for quick entry-into-service is high. To minimize the impact of retrofitting in-service aircrafts, the ability to generate test results quickly is crucial to the success of a test program.
