INERTIA Real- Time Control System Software

Test System Control and Automation Software

INERTIA™ is a highly configurable automation software for real-time control, data acquisition, and test applications that enables test, manufacturing, and R&D engineers and scientists to quickly and easily develop, configure, and operate test cell systems using a configuration-based software application.

 

Key Test Cell Applications

INERTIA is ideal for creating, upgrading, and modernizing real-time control and data acquisition systems, such as:

  • Test Applications: dynamometers, hydraulics, and other custom test machines
  • Industries: automotive, aerospace, industrial and commercial
  • Motorized vehicles: cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, off-highway vehicles, motorcycles
  • Components: combustion engines, hybrid and electric motors

 

For maximum flexibility and scalability, this platform-independent software allows users to integrate a wide range of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that best meets their requirements.
