Ecor Research Verification Center where test on components, subsystems and systems are carried out through test rigs.

In this area, the company designs, manufactures and carries out test rigs for testing functionalities of components, subsystems and complex systems of automatic machines to verify conditions in which damages and breakdowns can take place.

Ecor Research started a project, whose aim is to create a web platform to collect, analyze and share in real time data and results of Verification Centre test rigs.

“Cloud technology implementation will enable to collect in a single virtual warehouse all the data from test rigs located in our sites of Schio (Vicenza province) and Castelvetro di Modena – explained Nicola Pozzan. In this way and thanks to the use of dedicated softwares, automatic data analysis and steady monitoring of condition (condition monitoring) will be simplified”.

All the while, data access will be safe and reliable and customers themselves will have the possibility to verify tests trend accessing remotely the data in real time.
