Data alone doesn't solve any problems.

The real challenge lies in identifying causes, understanding relationships, and using that understanding to make sound decisions.

Through structured analysis and evaluation processes, deviations are assessed in a transparent manner and complex interrelationships are reliably analyzed.
This creates a solid foundation for technical decisions in development, production, and quality assurance.

Analysis and Evaluation Services for Sophisticated Quality Processes

As a testing laboratory accredited by the German Accreditation Body ( DAkkS) in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 (D-PL-21695-01-00), we conduct tests within our accredited scope and also assist you with customized analysis and evaluation tasks.

MSA & MFU

Initial sampling forms the basis for reliable approvals during development and the start of series production.

  • EMPB (Initial Sample Test Report)
  • Nominal-actual comparisons
  • Documented Evaluations
  • Support During Production Launch

Standardized measurement and evaluation processes make it possible to perform recurring inspection tasks efficiently and in a traceable manner.

  • Tests Conducted Throughout the Series
  • Repeat measurements
  • Standardized processes
  • Reproducible results

Complex components, unusual measurement results, or specific issues require customized analytical methods and a targeted assessment of the causes.

  • Custom Analysis Strategies
  • Analysis of Complex Geometries
  • Support for Special Projects
  • Flexible Analysis Methods

Digital assembly enables the virtual evaluation of components and assemblies even before physical assembly takes place.

  • Virtual Assembly Evaluation
  • Analysis of Fits and Clearances
  • Evaluation of Geometric Relationships
  • Early detection of potential problem areas

Virtual Clamping enables the virtual simulation of real clamping and mounting scenarios for the evaluation of components and geometries under conditions close to those of mass production.

  • Virtual simulation of real-world clamping and mounting scenarios
  • PRAFS-based component mounting without special fixtures
  • Analysis of Geometric Changes Under Stress
  • High Repeatability & Process Reliability
  • Flexible and Reproducible Component Qualification

Comprehensive analyses make it possible to evaluate changes in shape, deformations, and geometric deviations in a transparent manner.

  • Deformation and Shape Analysis
  • Comparison of Different Conditions
  • Evaluation of Geometric Changes
  • Analysis of Deformations and Deviations

Using MSA, MFU, and installation tests, we evaluate the suitability and stability of measurement systems and machines under real-world conditions. In doing so, we consider relevant influencing factors, repeatability, and comparability as the basis for reliable quality decisions.

  • Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
  • Machine Capability Study (MFU)
  • Installation Studies
  • Repeatability and Comparability

Identifying patterns rather than just measuring deviations

Flat 3D analyses not only make geometric deviations visible but also allow them to be evaluated within the context of the entire component. What matters most is not the individual measurement value, but an understanding of the progression, cause, and effect of a deviation.

Evaluate Deviations

In the context of components, functions, and processes.

Identifying Causes

Understand the relationships between measurement data and the process.

Assessing Risks

Evaluate critical areas in a transparent manner.

Back Up Decisions

Basis for approvals, corrections, and reconciliations.

DATA & RESULTS

Reports and Data for Your Processes

Depending on the task at hand, we prepare measurement results so that they can be directly integrated into your internal analysis, approval, and quality processes.

You’ll receive clear reports, graphical representations, and results data that provide understandable support for technical decisions—from individual analyses to complex assembly evaluations.

Test Reports & Documented Evaluations

Transparent test reports for internal and external coordination

Target-Actual Comparisons & Comprehensive Variance Analyses

Clear visualizations of deviations at the component and assembly levels.

Characteristic Analyses & Tables

Structured summaries of results for quick classification and evaluation.

Data Export & Interfaces

Processed results data for your downstream processes and systems.

Analysis and evaluation for every phase of your process

Our analysis and evaluation services support you throughout the entire product and manufacturing process—from development through the start of series production to ongoing quality assurance. This allows for the targeted evaluation of components, assemblies, tools, fixtures, and installation scenarios.

Development

Quality Assurance

Analysis of complaints, error patterns, and process deviations to enable quick and confident decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions About Analysis & Evaluation

Answers to frequently asked questions about data formats, analyses, and quality processes.

What data do you need for an analysis?

Depending on the task at hand, we may need CAD data, drawings, measurement data, or the component to be tested. We would be happy to determine in advance which documents are required for your specific analysis.

Yes, existing measurement data can be used for further analysis, depending on the data format and quality. We assess in advance whether the data set is suitable for the desired analysis.

We provide results in various formats, including measurement reports, target-actual comparisons, tabular summaries, and digital data sets. Possible formats include PDF, CSV, STL, DMO, and Excel.

Yes, many analytical tasks can be completed on short notice. The exact timeframe depends on the scope, the available data, and the complexity of the analysis.

Yes, in addition to standardized evaluations, we also provide support for special analyses, root cause analyses, and specific inquiries related to components, tools, fixtures, and processes.

Yes, our analyses are documented in a transparent manner and can be used as a basis for internal decisions, approvals, supplier coordination, or customer meetings.
