Case Studies
1. U.S. – Bridge Joint Monitoring, Ohio
A state DOT deployed our multi-channel DAQ units with LVDT and strain sensors to monitor seasonal joint movement. Integrated threshold alerts helped engineers respond promptly to deviations, enhancing safety and reducing inspection costs.
2. U.S. – Industrial Press Positioning, Illinois
A manufacturing plant automated its hydraulic press verification using DAQ units. With high-speed acquisition and event capture, quality control failures dropped 40% while cycle efficiency improved significantly.
3. Canada – Lab Load Testing, Alberta
An engineering testing firm installed our DAQ system in its materials lab. The device supported synchronized measurement of displacement and load, enabling advanced stress–strain analysis and reducing test cycle time by 25%.
