The task
Complexity in everyday testing: Data volumes slow down processes.
With the increasing diversity of materials and the increasing complexity of the test requirements, polymerphys IK GmbH was confronted with growing structural and organizational challenges. The testing processes suffered from decentralized data storage, inconsistent data structures and long search times, which made everyday work considerably more difficult. In addition, there were manual sources of error that impaired the quality and traceability of the test results. These factors led not only to delays in order processing, but also to limited transparency and inefficient use of existing testing capacities.
The ZwickRoell solution
Digital ecosystem for test data: testXpert Analytics as the key to efficiency
To meet these challenges, polymerphys IK GmbH decided to introduce the digital test data management system testXpert Analytics from ZwickRoell. The solution combines several powerful modules – including network storage, test data management, trend analysis and condition monitoring – in a central system.
This created a consistently digital and intelligent data ecosystem that not only standardizes data management, but also sustainably improves the analysis and control processes in the testing laboratory. The new infrastructure is powerful, scalable and future-proof – a decisive step towards digital transformation.
"With testXpert Analytics, we have taken our testing processes to a new level , in which they are digital, transparent, and efficient."
Sergej Schubenok, laboratory engineer
The result
More transparency, less effort
The switch to testXpert Analytics brought noticeable improvements in several areas: The test processes are now traceable in real time and documented in an auditable format, which significantly increases transparency. Automated data acquisition reduced susceptibility to errors and increased the informative value of the results. The central availability of all test data significantly shortens lead times and enables faster processing of customer orders. At the same time, digital process intelligence ensures optimized utilization of the materials testing machine and prevents bottlenecks. Overall, polymerphys IK GmbH is positioning itself as a digital pioneer in the industry – with more efficient processes, higher data quality and improved service.
