Robust teaching materials for vocational training, precise reference instruments for science – developed for universities, chambers of crafts, guilds and research institutes.
Research & education have different requirements.
Modern measurement technology plays a key role in educational and research institutions: it provides a practical focus and supports the development of new technologies. Whether in universities, chambers of crafts, vocational schools, trade guilds or training centres – measuring instruments now serve as both teaching aids and demonstration tools.
Two fundamentally different sets of requirements apply here: in academic research, the focus is on data depth, configurability and seamless access to raw data. In training environments, instruments must be robust, intuitive to use and suitable for teaching purposes.
Growing demands on education and research
The energy transition, the shortage of skilled workers and digitalization are sustainably changing the requirements for educational institutions. Hydrogen, synthetic gases and alternative energy sources are fundamentally changing combustion processes and plant technology. Training and research institutions need systems with which these developments can be investigated and taught in a practical manner.
At the same time, teaching and training concepts are becoming increasingly digital. Measurement data must be easy to record, evaluate, and integrate into modern learning environments. New legal requirements and technical standards also require up-to-date knowledge and practice-oriented training concepts.
Two worlds – one provider
Vocational training: Robustness meets smart didactics
Measuring instruments in training operations have a hard life: they must survive drops, operating errors, and changing user groups – without straining the budget for constant repairs. At the same time, operation must be so intuitive that the learning focus remains on combustion theory, not on the device. Chambers of crafts, vocational schools, guilds and training centers benefit from measurement technology that makes technical relationships tangible: live measured values can be transmitted via app directly to smartboards or projectors – making abstract theory immediately visible to the entire class.
Academic research: Deep data for new energy sources
Universities and research institutes are the pioneers of the energy transition. Whether researching hydrogen admixtures or investigating combustion kinetics: maximum sensitivity, customizable sensor configurations and unhindered access to raw data for further processing in scientific analysis tools are what matter here. Furthermore, professional associations use ecom measurement technology as a reliable basis for evaluating new technologies and developing recommendations for action for their members.
Why ecom – and why specifically for this sector?
ecom develops measurement solutions designed for the specific requirements of education and research – not for the lowest common denominator. This means: devices that survive everyday workshop use and excel in the laboratory.
