Major Performance Upgrade Track Record

Restoring the Performance of Aging Equipment
Test Equipment Performance Upgrade

Environmental test facilities are systems in which multiple devices are interconnected in a complex and organic manner.
By upgrading the performance of aging equipment, we reacquire accurate test data.

Test equipment performance upgrade work site

Environmental test facilities are systems in which multiple devices are interconnected in a complex and organic manner, and as equipment ages, performance declines, making it difficult to secure accurate performance data. To address this, maintenance and performance upgrades are carried out.

When equipment is used over a long period, functional degradation due to aging and the unavailability of parts and devices lower the facility's efficiency and disrupt testing, making it impossible to smoothly secure test data and delaying vehicle development.

Based on the experience and know-how accumulated in environmental test facilities to date, The Whale Corp. is ready to faithfully reflect customers' requirements, and will provide services that upgrade existing performance through continuous R&D and the application of new technologies.
