Despite relatively simple framework wind tunnel is yet a multicomponent digital ecosystem, therefore just as much of a subject for technical progress. From the very beginning Tunnel Tech approach was guided by the principles of Industry 4.0:
- Interoperability
- Virtualisation
- Decentralisation
- Real-time capability
- Service orientation
- Modularity
In other words Tunnel Tech machines and every component in them are aware of their own condition and every other system within the network. Such approach unprecedented in indoor skydiving industry required every wind tunnel module to be designed from scratch and equipped with relevant sensors, logic controllers and network connection ultimately creating an intelligent automated ecosystem, in which the wind tunnel itself is responsible for self-diagnostics and troubleshooting, anticipating 99% of possible malfunctions, alerting support team of any sensory deviations and in most cases getting serviced remotely or with help of locally available low-level technical personnel.
What it actually means for our customer is:
- Minimum required maintenance
- Much longer lifespan of the equipment
- Virtually no down-time for business
- Significantly reduced post-warranty service costs
