Changzhou laboratory in Jiangsu Province, China, launches SGS Performance Factory (PROF), the next generation in durability and performance testing solutions for consumer products.
Changzhou laboratory in Jiangsu Province, China, has expanded its range of advanced testing solutions for consumer products with the introduction of SGS Performance Factory (PROF) – next generation performance and durability testing solution.
Combining real human dynamics and cutting-edge robotics, PROF is a highly versatile testing platform that frees manufacturers from the constraints of traditional mechanical test benches, standard industry robotics and real-human panels. Once a testing protocol is programmed into the system, this 360-degree testing solution exactly replicates real human behaviors without loss of intensity, no matter how many months or years have passed between test cycles.
Whether you need to choose the best product for your store or access trusted data to drive product development, PROF is your cost-effective solution. Removing the need for multiple real human panels reduces costs and test times while ensuring higher levels of repeatability and reproducibility that enable continuous product improvements and stop customer complaints.
Changzhou is strategically located in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. It is the transport hub of the Yangtze River Delta and has good communication routes with the rest of China.
