Bauer Signs Test Systems Partnership with Ascential Technologies

Aerospace test stand design and manufacturing company Bauer has partnered with Ascential Technologies to support the global users of its test and measurement products. Ascential Technologies specializes in automated diagnostic, inspection, assembly, and test systems.

The two U.S.-based companies’ combined efforts will allow Bauer to focus on designing, manufacturing, and globally deploying advanced test stands for aerospace companies, while Ascential will function as Bauer’s exclusive global service and aftermarket support provider. This will be managed under the new Ascential Care platform.

Included in the Ascential Care platform is the company’s data analytics platform for capturing, mining, and measuring equipment data. This capability empowers users to “make informed decisions and, ultimately, help[s] enhance the reliability and availability of assets,” according to Bauer, who is exhibiting at the Dubai Airshow.

Customers will receive support from installation and launch to service, maintenance, refurbishment, and spare parts services for Bauer’s test systems. Ascential Technologies provides field support services in more than 40 locations in 20 countries, with support available onsite and online.

“This partnership allows us to focus on what we do best—engineering world-class test systems—while ensuring our customers receive unmatched global support and predictive service capabilities,” said Bauer president and CEO Lou Auletta. “Together, with Ascential Technologies’ deep technology expertise and aptitude for delivering rapid and efficient support, we’re delivering a smarter, more connected customer experience.”
