ABOUT US
We deliver tailored engineering solutions that address challenges in mechanical engineering, structural dynamics, vibration analysis, and mechatronic systems. From improving machine performance to revealing deeper insights into system dynamics, our projects accelerate your development cycle, validate critical components and help you clearly understand real-world operational behaviour.
We offer practical engineering courses and workshops that provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art methods and technologies. Each program focuses on explaining the principles, strengths, limitations and implementation approaches of modern techniques, giving participants the understanding and confidence to navigate complex engineering challenges and explore innovative approaches within their field.
We use advanced simulation methods to analyze and optimize complex multi-physical systems. Our expertise includes finite-element and flexible multibody dynamics, rotating machinery, vibroacoustics, and nonlinear behavior, supported by data-driven and AI-based modeling. Through modern model-reduction and solving strategies, we provide accurate and scalable simulations that enable fast evaluation and design iteration.
We use advanced experimental techniques to characterize and validate dynamic systems. Our capabilities include vibration and modal testing, material and component-level identification, nonlinear behavior analysis, and substructuring and transfer-path analysis. With modern actuation and sensing technologies such as high-speed imaging and laser vibrometry, we provide precise measurement data for reliable model validation, machine monitoring, and comprehensive system assessment.
We develop integrated mechatronic solutions that combine sensing, actuation, and intelligent control architectures. Our expertise spans robotic applications, advanced motion planning, custom actuator development, and rapid prototyping. By applying model-based design and modern control strategies, we create high-performance systems with precise, reliable, and predictable behavior.
