Virtual Lab

Virtual Lab is an interactive platform that enables customers to access, from anywhere in the world and in real-time, the tests performed in our laboratories and related information and documentation.
Virtual Lab focuses on the final step of the production chain for the space market, aligning with the Industry 4.0 concept. Thanks to the Virtual Lab online platform, the customer can design their own test solution specifically tailored to the actual needs and requirements and monitor the result in real time, without having to wait for all activities to be completed.
Therefore, the end user can adapt the test conditions to the first results provided by the platform and receive feedback from our test engineer during the execution of any activity. In many cases, even if the test duration cannot be reduced, detailed records of part behaviour can be accessed and analysed in real time.
In this way, manufacturers and users gain valuable time to develop contingency plans and solutions to deal with detected anomalies.
The Virtual Lab platform is ALTER’s response to the requirements of Space 4.0, and it is hoped that this new framework will make European space companies more competitive.
Virtual Lab has been awarded the TÜV NORD GROUP Innovation Award for the most creative, collaborative, and impactful innovation project.
