Tests Our products have proven their stability and durability in extensive testing, before going into series production. Our tracking systems, in particular, have been subjected to a variety of simulations during their development. They have provided convincing results in testing ranging from weather tests of the electronics and a wind tunnel test of the model by the Institute for Industrial Aerodynamics (Institut für Industrieaerodynamik, IFI) to the outdoor wind test with an airplane turbine.
Quality seals Components and control electronics with CE marking, as well as complete tracking systems with TÜV approval and UL certification show that IdeemaTec’s high demand for quality pays off.
