All case studies

Case study

Althen sensor partner for Hardt Hyperloop

From the early days Althen has been supporting the Hardt Hyperloop team, even before the company Hardt was founded and whenthe development was still in a student format. Ever since, Hardt and Althen have worked together when it came down to measurement solutions for the development of the hyperloop system. Both in vehicle sensors, as well as test & measurement sensors, for their internal test setups.

Case study

Hydroelectric generator performance

Whether initial installation, regular maintenance check or reconstruction after maintenance work: Precise air gap measurement is essential to prevent damage to the generator and to maintain its efficiency in the long term. With the new Air Gap Tool, the number of working hours for this can be reduced by up to 90%.

Case study

Treatment of ballast water (BWTS)

Ballast water from ships can contain thousands of microbes, plants and animals. These are often transported by a ship over long distances around the globe and are released at the destination. This can lead to potential damage to local species and organisms. Proper treatment and filtration of this water is of tremendous importance to our ecosystem.
