Connected Testing Systems
The digital backbone of your quality assurance
From the initial data flow concept to cross-site integration into your IT landscape – we develop testing systems that act as the intelligent nervous system of your production and deliver exactly where isolated standalone solutions reach their limits. With over 30 years of expertise, we implement your quality assurance as a holistic, digital ecosystem at the highest technological level.
System intelligence meets process reliability
Every production process places specific demands on data density and seamless traceability. Whether it involves aggregating high-frequency sensor signals in the automotive sector or monitoring medical assemblies across multiple locations in global production networks: we design your testing system as an architectural response to the growing complexity of your digital quality assurance.
We see ourselves as your strategic development partner. If your system specification still has gaps, our experts support you as early as the planning phase, helping to precisely align data structures, interface protocols, and validation criteria with your existing IT infrastructure.
Systemic intelligence: more than the sum of its parts
Every complex product requires coordinated validation. While a test bench is often the mechanical response to a stress test, our testing system is the architectural solution for your entire process chain:
Central data sovereignty
We eliminate data silos by consolidating all measurement results into a consistent SQL structure.
Interoperability
Our systems act as translators between different interfaces – from component-level sensors to ERP integration in the cloud.
Scalable platform
A WSK testing system grows with your needs. Thanks to our modular philosophy, we integrate new testing modules or locations into your existing architecture without disrupting the system.
From concept to integrated testing system in 6 steps
We define system development as a structured process for minimizing risk and increasing efficiency:
Process analysis & interface definition
We look beyond the test object and analyze your entire workflow. Together, we define communication protocols and data transfer points to ensure seamless, media-break-free validation.
Holistic system engineering
The design of mechanics, electronics, and network architecture is continuously aligned. We ensure that all mechatronic subsystems are perfectly coordinated.
Modular system assembly
Assembly takes place in our workshops under industrial standards. We rely on EMC-optimized structures to ensure the long-term stability of the entire system network.
Framework implementation
Our modular software architecture (C# / C++) forms the core of the system. It ensures deterministic real-time performance and intuitive control of even the most complex testing sequences.
System verification & data audit
Before commissioning, the entire system undergoes intensive testing cycles under real conditions. We verify statistical measurement system capability to ensure your testing processes are audit-proof from day one.
Global integration & life cycle management
We integrate the system into your production environment and IT landscape. After acceptance, we ensure long-term availability of your testing infrastructure through training and support.

Modular system services: tailored support
A WSK testing system is not an isolated tool, but a scalable ecosystem.
We provide the flexibility you need to either restructure your entire quality assurance setup or close specific technological gaps within your existing system landscape.
Quality assurance – modular or turnkey
Whether you need a central control unit for decentralized testing stations or are planning a fully connected greenfield facility: you determine the level of our integration. We tailor our services precisely to your existing IT resources and production capacities:
- System engineering & data flow design: We design the overarching architecture of your testing environment. This includes validating complex specifications, defining communication protocols, and creating digital twins for process visualization.
- Interdisciplinary system development: We develop the bridge technologies between mechanical stress testing and digital evaluation. In doing so, we design coordinated interfaces precisely aligned with the physical requirements of your entire product range.
- Central control & backend programming: Development of highly available control cabinet systems and implementation of central logic based on the WSK framework. We deliver deterministic control that synchronizes all subsystems in real time.
- Holistic validation & rollout: We carry out statistical verification of the entire system and support the certification of your processes. Through targeted system training, we enable your team to independently interpret complex data correlations.
Infrastructure management: service & performance assurance
In a connected testing system, every failure has a cascading effect on the entire process chain. Our service concept ensures the availability of your complete testing infrastructure through cross-manufacturer expertise.
- Central fleet support: We reduce complexity by acting as your single point of contact. We handle maintenance and technical servicing of your entire system landscape – independently of brand, for both WSK systems and third-party equipment.
- Predictive system stability: Through in-depth technological expertise and optimized spare parts logistics, we guarantee minimal response times. Our goal is to prevent downtime before it occurs.
- Central control & backend programming: Development of highly available control cabinet systems and implementation of central logic based on the WSK framework. We deliver deterministic control that synchronizes all subsystems in real time.
- Continuous data integrity: Regular system calibrations and preventive audits ensure the precision of your measurement results throughout the entire lifecycle of the system – enabling audit-proof documentation from shop floor to ERP.
Automation & digital sovereignty
By integrating cobots and connecting to higher-level systems such as SAP via OPC UA, we make your quality assurance ready for Industry 4.0. Our testing systems are designed to scale flexibly with future product generations.

Frequently asked questions about our testing systems
A test bench is an isolated station for a specific measurement task, whereas a testing system describes the entire architecture that integrates multiple testing modules into a connected unit. The system acts as the central nervous system of your quality assurance: it controls the data flow between stations, manages the central database, and ensures communication with your enterprise IT.
We eliminate manual data entry through an automated data chain using standardized interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT, or direct SQL database connections. Every test report is transferred to your MES or ERP system in real time, providing not only simple pass/fail results but also the actual physical measurement values for in-depth trend analysis.
Our system ensures that in the event of a claim, you can always provide complete proof that a product left your facility in the specified condition. Through autonomous archiving in central databases, we create a legally compliant foundation for product liability and conformity assessments that remains accessible for audits even years later.
Yes, a key aspect of our system architecture is interoperability. We act as a central point of contact and integrate third-party systems into the new overall structure, regardless of manufacturer. This reduces interface complexity and enables uniform evaluation of your entire testing fleet via a central WSK software framework.
We design according to the principle of hardware agility and use a modular software framework. Mechanical fixtures can be quickly adapted using interchangeable plate systems, while new test sequences or limit values can be configured directly via the graphical interface. This protects your investment, as the system grows flexibly with your requirements and new product lines.
