Therefore, agricultural, construction, and mining equipment manufacturers are under constant pressure. They have to deliver machines with ever-increasing power, uptime, and productivity in harsh environments <strong>while <\/strong>meeting market expectations such as emissions reduction targets and regulations standards.  All of that without compromising machine comfort, and durability expected from the end-user. As a consequence, it is crucial for the OEM to test, validate, optimize, and certify heavy equipment machines within these constraints. Those are shorter testing cycles, conflicting performance requirements (such as durability, operator comfort), growing product complexity, and reduced costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it still remains challenging for the machine testing teams to execute all the testing needs in the most efficient and optimized way. Except if they are equipped with the correct tools., how I explain during the on-demand webinar: <em>Increasing the test efficiency of your machine\u2019s durability and NVH performance using a single platform<\/em>&#8220;.

It is about Sound Power, Human Body Vibrations and Pass-by noise depending on the machine type. These regulations are not mandatory for EU only, since many countries from different continents follow the same requirements. In such a complex certification context, the manufacturer can question: &#8220;<strong>how can I cover these different ISO certification tests in very limited development time in<\/strong> <strong>the most efficient way?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
