Industrial quality testing days 2026: Applying noise and vibration testing in production
📍Leuven, Belgium
📅 October 6–7, 2026
Why is industrial quality testing important?
In serial production, end‑of‑line quality testing must deliver objective, repeatable, and production‑ready decisions within tight cycle times. Many defects, however, do not present themselves through visual inspection or simple functional checks. Instead, they manifest as subtle changes in noise, vibration, or dynamic behavior, making them difficult to detect reliably without dedicated measurement and analysis concepts.
Industrial Quality Testing (IQT) addresses this challenge by using noise and vibration‑based measurements as physically measurable indicators of product quality. By combining industrial sensors, robust data acquisition, and application‑specific analysis workflows, IQT enables manufacturers to translate complex dynamic behavior into clear pass/fail criteria suitable for end‑of‑line and serial testing environments.
Within the Simcenter portfolio, Simcenter Anovis plays a central role in enabling this approach. Simcenter Anovis is specifically designed for industrial noise and vibration‑based quality testing, supporting non‑destructive testing (NDT), blocked forces approach, and advanced NVH metrics in a production context. It allows engineers to configure complete end‑of‑line test systems that are robust, repeatable, and scalable, while remaining closely aligned with real production constraints.
To demonstrate how industrial noise and vibration‑based quality testing can be implemented in real production environments, Siemens is organizing the Industrial Quality Testing Days — a two‑day, application‑driven event focused on end‑of‑line and non-destructive testing.
The event is designed to bridge the gap between measurement theory and production reality. Rather than generic presentations, participants will work with real test setups, industrial hardware, sensors, and Simcenter Anovis software workflows, seeing first‑hand how end‑of‑line quality systems are configured, validated, and operated in practice. The emphasis is on robustness, repeatability, and confidence in defect detection, not laboratory performance.
Day 1: Foundations and live demonstrations
The first day establishes the technical foundation for noise and vibration‑based industrial quality testing. It starts with an overview of common industrial applications and quality testing requirements, followed by key concepts in measurement, sensing, and data interpretation. The focus then narrows to the principles required to design reliable end‑of‑line test setups for defect detection in serial production.
Participants will explore:
- Industrial quality testing concepts using noise and vibration
- Industrial sensors, hardware, and data acquisition setups
- Full vehicle and component‑level testing use cases
- Blocked forces and non‑destructive testing (NDT) approaches
- Live demonstrations and hands‑on end‑of‑line and NDT setups
The goal is to show how physical phenomena can be turned into measurable, repeatable indicators of product quality suitable for production environments.
Day 2: End‑of‑line implementation and serial testing
While day one focuses on concepts and demonstrations, day two is fully dedicated to implementation in serial production. The emphasis is on configuring test systems, defining metrics, and executing tests consistently across large numbers of parts.
Hands‑on sessions include:
- Software configuration for end‑of‑line testing using Simcenter Anovis
- Test bench communication and interface setup
- Recording reference parts for adaptation
- Defining quality metrics for fault identification
- Executing serial NDT testing workflows
Attention is given to efficiency, robustness, and scalability, addressing the practical challenges engineers face when moving from pilot setups to production deployment.
