Onsite modernisation studies to optimise your application's performance

If you’d like to benefit from an energy chain system but aren’t sure whether it will fit or how it could be implemented, our team is here to help. We’ll carry out a detailed study to evaluate your application and identify the most effective ways to overcome your challenges.

Our specialists assess feasibility, performance, and long‑term value to ensure your solution is technically sound and commercially viable.

Services include:

On-site study and application analysis
Review of required technology upgrades
Reviewing new system and implementation planning ROI/TCO analysis
End‑to‑end project management, from design through to start‑up

Test lab capabilities for proof of concept and performance guarantees

We have the experience and technical capabilities to test, validate, and prove your concepts. At our test laboratory at igus headquarters in Cologne, Germany, we support your project with comprehensive testing, detailed data analysis, and formal test reporting to reduce risk and accelerate development. Our facilities allow us to simulate real‑world operating conditions and validate performance before deployment.
