Solutions · Engine Test Bed Digitization

Every engine leaves the cell with a complete, traceable record.

Bind each run to an engine serial number and work order, capture torque, speed, power, fuel flow, exhaust and oil temperatures, pressures and vibration continuously through the profile, and issue a test certificate with the full curve behind it — stored on your own server, retrievable years later.

Who runs these cells

Built for engine builders, overhaul shops and defence suppliers.

Wherever an engine is proven before it ships — or after it is overhauled — the test record is the deliverable that outlives the run.

MANUFACTURE

Engine & genset OEMs

Acceptance testing against a serial number, with a certificate the customer receives and a record you keep. Population data across a model becomes design and supplier feedback.

OVERHAUL

MRO and rebuild shops

Post-overhaul proving runs recorded in full, so a rebuilt unit ships with evidence of its condition rather than an assurance — the difference in a warranty conversation.

DEFENCE & AEROSPACE

Programmes that demand evidence

Where every run must be attributable and every record auditable. MachineWise deploys on-premises by default and supports air-gapped operation, so test data never leaves your facility.

Captured through the run

Curves, not clipboard readings.

A spot reading at each load step tells you where the engine was. Continuous capture tells you how it got there — which is where transients, instability and thermal drift live.

PERFORMANCE

Torque, speed, power, fuel

  • Dynamometer torque and speed sampled continuously
  • Brake power computed live across the run
  • Fuel flow and specific fuel consumption
  • Full power and torque curves attached to the certificate
THERMAL & FLUIDS

The conditions behind the numbers

  • Exhaust gas temperature, per bank where instrumented
  • Coolant and lube oil temperatures
  • Oil and fuel pressures
  • Ambient temperature, pressure and humidity for correction
MECHANICAL

Condition, not just output

  • Tri-axial vibration with live FFT and order tracking
  • Speed-referenced spectra across the sweep
  • Noise level where instrumented
  • Blowby and other rig-specific channels
Profiles & endurance

Long runs are where manual recording gives up.

PROFILE ADHERENCE

Did it actually hold the step?

Define load steps, hold durations and ramp rates per engine model. The system records whether each was met — so "ran the 100% step for thirty minutes" is a verified fact, not a note.

ENDURANCE

Hours of unattended running, fully logged

Durability and type-approval runs go on far longer than anyone can sit and record. Continuous capture with threshold alerts means the cell can run overnight and still produce complete evidence.

EARLY ABORT

Stop before the rig is damaged

Live limits on vibration, temperature and pressure trigger alerts — and, where wired, an abort. Catching a failing run early protects both the article and an expensive dynamometer.

Beyond one engine

What a cell full of data is worth.

01

Cell utilisation

Run hours, changeover and idle time per cell. Test capacity is usually the hidden constraint on dispatch.

02

Model baselines

Once a hundred units of a model are measured identically, an outlier is obvious at the moment it appears.

03

Supplier drift

A batch of components behaving differently shows up as a shift in the population, not as a single failure.

04

Warranty defence

The complete run at dispatch, retrievable by serial number, three years on.

Questions

Straight answers.

What parameters are captured on an engine test bed?
Dynamometer torque and speed, brake power, fuel flow and specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature, coolant and oil temperatures, oil and fuel pressures, ambient conditions, and tri-axial vibration with live FFT and order tracking.
Can long endurance runs be recorded unattended?
Yes. Capture is continuous with threshold alerts, so a cell can run overnight and still produce complete evidence, and a run that stops unexpectedly raises an alert instead of being found in the morning.
Does it verify that the test profile was followed?
Yes. Load steps, hold durations and ramp rates are defined per engine model, and the system records whether each was met, so a thirty-minute step at full load is a verified fact rather than a note.
Can it run air-gapped for defence programmes?
Yes. MachineWise deploys on-premises by default and supports air-gapped operation, so test data never leaves the facility.
