FAND-LAB

Room: Q145_182 B

Living Lab: Within the FAND-LAB, a dedicated Living Lab has been established for the co-design, development, and validation of measurement techniques aimed at monitoring human well-being, behavior, and comfort.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Laboratory: The Non-Destructive Testing Lab has evolved over time by integrating increasingly innovative and technologically advanced techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on non-contact methods, which ensure non-intrusive inspection of objects and seamless installation within production plants. Extensive field testing has provided the laboratory staff with consolidated expertise, spanning from fundamental research to successful technology transfer for industrial applications.
