Rockatek Invests in More Research & Development in HFTO / Torsional Resonance
Our team of engineers and designers have made significant improvements to one of our main Torsional Resonance/HFTO test rigs, our medium size TR2 Test Rig.
The test rig is now commissioned and semi permanently set up in our on-site test facility making testing more efficient and user friendly. The TR2 test rig is able to replicate Torsional Resonance at various frequencies with enough integral data acquisition equipment to collect and analyse the run data.
“It is hugely important to us as a company that we continue to invest in our own R&D, not only do we find challenges, but more importantly we begin to find solutions to those challenges. The team work endlessly
in the R&D phase and as a direct result of this our customers see huge benefits.” Said Daniel Crowley, Director at Rockatek.
The secret of how we do it is behind the wooden box in the picture on the below!
The HFTO testing we have carried out for clients in 2020 and so far in 2021 has added real benefit to their products but has also uncovered many more questions that need answering with
more tests. There are multiple tests scheduled in the TR2 rig during Q1 of 2021 for some of our key clients but also for internal Rockatek R&D projects and developments.

Intoware Secures Digital Contract With Shell
Leading workflow automation specialist, Intoware has secured a contract with Shell Information Technology International BV to deploy its digital software platform, WorkfloPlus to help improve Shell’s operational efficiencies through industrial connected working.
This contract follows the successful trial of WorkfloPlus at Shell’s Upstream, Downstream Manufacturing Integrated Gas and Marine & Shipping operations, across numerous countries over the last 12 months and was evaluated by Shell’s eXtended Reality (XR) Team.
Designed for use with augmented reality (AR) headsets from Realwear, WorkfloPlus generates digital workflows required for health and safety audits, regulatory compliance and on-boarding tasks eliminating the need for time consuming, manual processes.

WorkfloPlus helps connected workers to undertake activities such as daily inspection audits and maintenance tasks creating live in-work views, progress updates and immediate results analysis, further encouraging collaborative working and improved problem solving.
Michael Kaldenbach, Digital Realities Lead, Shell, comments: “We see benefits from the detail and simplicity of Intoware’s digital workflows for onboarding, inspections or repairs and the ease of integrations will help us access key, often unique data insights.
“This, together with a fast and easy deployment, live job updates and alerts, integrated remote expert providers and great support from their technical development team are really going to enable further efficiencies and safer working practices.”
Vince Galvin, Chief Revenue Officer, Intoware, comments: “We are
very pleased to be part of Shell’s digitalisation initiatives as it harnesses new technologies to unlock the benefits collaborative working provides.
“WorkfloPlus is designed for Realwear’s headsets with integrations to remote expert solutions such as HPE MyRoom VRG that will bring huge efficiencies as workers can troubleshoot issues in ‘real- time’ preventing the need for technical experts to be physically on site.
“We are very much looking forward to our growing partnership with Shell helping its teams deliver real value and a safer working environment.”
