Bauer, a global leader in aerospace test stand design and manufacturing, and Ascential Technologies, a global provider of automated diagnostic, inspection, assembly and test systems and services, announced they have established a collaborative partnership aimed at transforming the aerospace test and measurement landscape. Under this new alliance, Bauer—on behalf of both companies—will focus on the design, manufacturing and global deployment of advanced test stands for the aerospace industry while Ascential Technologies will serve as Bauer’s exclusive global service and aftermarket support provider through its newly launched Ascential Care platform. 

“This partnership allows us to focus on what we do best—engineering world-class test systems —while ensuring our customers receive unmatched global support and predictive service capabilities,” said Lou Auletta, president & CEO at Bauer. “Together, with Ascential Technologies’ deep technology expertise and aptitude for delivering rapid and efficient support, we’re delivering a smarter, more connected customer experience.” 

Through this new service model, Bauer’s customers can expect support at every stage, from installation and launch to ongoing service, maintenance, refurbishment, spare part services and more, regardless of their location. Leveraging Ascential Technologies’ global presence of more than 40 locations in over 20 countries, field support is readily available both on-site and remotely. 

“Ascential Care is built to deliver global reach with local responsiveness,” said Scott Watts, divisional CEO at Ascential Technologies. “By combining Bauer’s engineering excellence with our agile service infrastructure and data-driven insights, we’re creating a seamless, end-to-end customer experience that maximizes uptime, performance and long-term value.”

As part of the partnership, Bauer’s customers will also have access to Ascential Technologies’ Ascentialytics data analytics platform, which enables the collection, mining and measurement of equipment data. This connected, performance management solution for remote monitoring and diagnostics is part of the Ascential Care framework and will seamlessly integrate into a wide range of Bauer’s test and support equipment for the commercial and military aviation industries. Data outputs give actionable information to make informed decisions and, ultimately, help enhance the reliability and availability of assets.
