Digitizing test information using updated tools, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiniusolsen.com\/product\/horizon-software\/\">enhanced software packages<\/a>, has allowed users to collect, manipulate, analyze, graph and store data in ways that previously were just not feasible.

In the case of Horizon software from Tinius Olsen, there\u2019s more than just space-saving benefits; it has the ability to manage both the test procedures and the automation, making data easily accessible, for everything ranging from R&amp;D to charging and analysis functions of QC testing.<\/p><h2><strong>A Gamechanger On the Testing Floor <\/strong><\/h2><p>A recent application at a global polymer matrix composite manufacturer put Horizon\u2019s capabilities to the test. An automated materials testing system using the software was built so that two independent automated tests \u2013 tensile (ASTM D638) and flexure (ASTM D790) \u2013 ran simultaneously on the same machine. The reduced scale of the system in footprint alone enabled a more efficient testing environment, and the physical assembly was complemented by enhanced digital data exchange across internal processes, which included a bar code led data flow, customized results, alerts and system status.\u00a0 (Figure 2)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-969e543 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"969e543\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-920687d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"920687d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiniusolsen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/TOL-Featured-Img-Two-Test-System-Figure-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-45558\" alt=\"Tinius Olsen Two Test Systems\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd2c54b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fd2c54b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-175af58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"175af58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Fig. 2: Running one software platform across multiple test environments can reduce the materials testing footprint needed, especially critical for upgrades in existing facilities.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><p>Key to this testing set up is the robotic arm, which accesses the specimen rack and test frame for both machines, all running on a single Horizon software platform. Through just one automation cell, the two tests are performed, streamlining data, reducing latency and improving materials testing results.<\/p><h2><strong>Overall Operations Improved<\/strong><\/h2><p>Whether you\u2019re controlling and gathering data from multiple melt indexers, hydraulic tensile testing machines, or electromechanical testing machines that are performing tensile, compression, flexural, tear, peel or other tests, Horizon can run all the tests and gather all the information in one place. In addition, the software features a recall function that enables you to add key data that is either not available or missed. All digital data is streamlined and easily accessible.<\/p><p>Once all data has been gathered, the software\u2019s result editor and output editor can consolidate all data that has been generated into customizable reports, depending on what type of analysis you or your customers may need. Multiple graph types can be applied per test, like stress vs. strain, or load vs. time, and reports can be distributed across one PC, multiple PCs, or across a network for easy multi-team access, keeping everyone on the same page.
