Technical service provider and supplier for simulation and testing
Siemens Simcenter Anovis
End-of-line test system for acoustic tests
Anovis is an EoL test system from the Simcenter product portfolio, consisting of hardware and software. It is used to carry out noise and vibration analyses and to ensure the required quality of end products before they leave the factory.

What we value Anovis for
Our observations after the Anovis launch
As a partner for Siemens Simcenter Anovis, we have accompanied the introduction of this test system in various industries. We have observed the following effects with customers:
0% error rate in one step
With automated EOL inspection, no tested components leave production that do not meet the specified quality criteria. Correctly designed/constructed Anovis test benches achieve the required process capability in accordance with the measurement system analysis (MSA).
Reduction of returns
Our customers have been able to drastically reduce the number of returns and save costs as a result. The cost reduction is usually so high that the purchase of the Anovis system pays for itself within 6 to 12 months.
Improved product quality
In the short term, quality fluctuations in the end product are limited by NOK products not leaving the factory. In the longer term, we are seeing improved product quality overall. We attribute this to the increased understanding of product properties and weaknesses, which benefits product development.
Intelligent problem detection
As Anovis also warns of deviations that were not specifically formulated in the test criteria or are in borderline areas, customers recognize potential problems at an early stage and develop solutions in a more targeted manner.
Compliance with regulations
Because Anovis enables accurate analysis and evaluation of acoustic behavior under different conditions, customers report reduced efforts to comply with regulations and standards regarding noise and vibration emissions.

Anovis core components
Software and hardware for comprehensive acoustic EoL testing
Simcenter Anovis is a complete system comprising hardware and software for automated fault detection in the production line. The components vary depending on the customer configuration and application scenario. The main core components are
Integration and automation
Via "Test Connect", Simcenter Anovis enables simple integration into PLC-controlled production lines using industry protocols such as OPC UA. The test systems are automatically synchronized with the control processes, increase production efficiency and support quality assurance through direct communication with the production systems.
Data acquisition
Hardware components enable the collection and processing of data from various signal sources such as sensors, microphones and acceleration sensors. These components are connected to software for recording, managing and analyzing large volumes of measurement data.
Signal processing
Simcenter Anovis includes extensive signal processing functions such as filtering, transient analysis, spectral analysis and time-frequency analysis. These functions help to process the measurement data in order to obtain meaningful information about the noise and vibration characteristics of a system.
Acoustic analysis
The Anovis analysis software enables the investigation of acoustic phenomena such as sound intensity, sound pressure level and sound power. The Chameleon software component also enables intelligent evaluation of results beyond the "OK" and "NOK" classes. The system thus also covers uncertainties by detecting conspicuous behavior of the test specimens outside the defined criteria and classifying test specimens as OK with a warning. This also allows unknown/new faults to be detected or negative changes in the limit range to be recognized.
Reporting and visualization
Anovis provides a graphical user interface where current and historical measurement data can be loaded and analyzed to identify anomalies, compare parts/batches, etc. This facilitates communication and the exchange of information between the departments involved and supports data-driven decision-making.
What would your Anovis system look like?
Which methods make sense for testing your product? How would the system be integrated into your production? I can help you evaluate the acoustic technologies for your application.
