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

In 2014 Gantner Instruments GmbH moved into its new, energy-efficient company building in Schruns. The modern building with an area of 1000 m² has been designed from the beginning to offer the possibility of extension. This option was used in 2017 by the company, which has a steady double-digit growth per year since its inception.

Currently, a vast amount of research institutions and organizations are focusing on ways to improve the operation, reliability and consequently the output of PV systems. An important aspect yet to be targeted remains the procedural and standardized approach to calculate accurately the factors behind the various performance loss mechanisms, while also detecting and diagnosing potential failures at early stages or before occurrence. Identification of degradation and failure modes at preliminary stages is important as these mechanisms directly influence the performance, lifetime and reliability of PV technology.

Daimler used our company building in Schruns as the backdrop for the photo shoot for this year’s world premiere of the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e plug-in hybrid.

Gantner Instruments is proud to announce that is has delivered it’s Q.series Data Acquisition System to the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) for their Villum Center for Advanced Structural and Material Testing (CASMaT). The center is a collaboration between DTU Civil Engineering, DTU Mechanical Engineering and DTU Wind Energy with the objective to strengthen experimental research in mechanics of structures and materials. A large donation from VILLUM FONDEN made it possible to establish the center.
