The Analytics of the Research & Technology Center supports Siemens as well as external companies in all businesses and markets. Pooling high-end methods and personal expertise ensures a long-year technical expertise in analytics and a broad background knowledge in industrial technologies.
For the evaluation of materials as well as their application in products and integration into the production process we are able to answer your questions.
Your products may be systems, components or basic materials - understanding the suitability of the used materials and technologies is the key to your success. Our comprehensive and professional physical and chemical analytics permit well directed examinations of materials, technologies and systems. Based on our state-of-the-art instruments, we offer materials characterization, root cause analysis on non-conformances, support in quality issues, reverse engineering, purchasing, and other topics. Networking with colleagues from the entire Corporate Technology allows us to solve complex and overarching problems. It is understood that we provide absolute confidentiality.
Employed materials and production processes essentially define the quality and reliability of the final product. Development and application of novel materials and processes are key to innovative, efficient and long-living products. For evaluation and development of materials as well as for their application in the product and the integration into the production process we answer your questions concerning:
