Description
The laboratory offers a wide range of ageing simulations, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, and climatic stresses, to replicate real-life or extreme use conditions. These tests are designed to evaluate material durability, detect failure mechanisms, and support predictive maintenance strategies. Our infrastructure supports both standardised testing protocols and tailor-made test campaigns, adapted to specific use cases or industrial environments. Thanks to advanced monitoring and data acquisition systems, the laboratory provides high-resolution measurements, supports digital modelling of degradation, and contributes to life cycle assessments (LCA). This testing environment is particularly relevant for sectors such as agriculture, aerospace, medical devices, or IoT-based systems, where long-term performance and compliance are critical.
