Advanced machine automationVTT Control System Lab
Our process ensures fast time-to-market and cost efficient prototyping.Smart control technologies can raise machine productivity to new levels.Advanced automation can not only increase the productivity of machineryoperating under demanding conditions, but also reduce the risksencountered by operators.
VTT can help you design and implement highly advanced automationsystems, semi-autonomous operator assistance control systems. We areparticularly adept at developing demanding control algorithms and devicesrelated to the management of kinematic chains.
VTT R&D HIL-environment integrates the actual machine control systemand mechanics and hydraulics models of customer’s own machine. Ourfacilities support workflow from concept design to prototype testing.
