Materials testing is critical for the development and quality assurance of all products in the market, with some industries such as biomedical, aerospace, and automotive companies experiencing high volumes of testing throughput in addition to strict quality standards. Because of these requirements, automation is consistently at the forefront of discussions when it comes to improving testing processes for these companies.
There are many reasons why customers decide to pursue an automated solution for their materials testing needs. Understanding the time it takes to perform different phases of your testing cycle can help you identify places where automation can be beneficial. Whether automation helps to optimize the test procedure, reduce the safety risks to the operator, or free up the operator to perform more value-added tasks, automated devices can provide a significant return on investment (ROI).
