Hydraulic parts and modules such as gearbox control play an important role in power transmission, especially in the automotive and commercial vehicle areas but also in industrial manufacturing in general. When developing new hydraulic components, extensive testing is essential for optimized and trouble-free operation in practice. Conventional systems can usually only test individual hydraulic parts (solenoid valves etc.) and not entire modules. Different technical solutions with different test setups are necessary causing high costs and time expenditure.

The Austrian SME identified the need for a solution to address certain demands in the area of horse riding and this led to the idea and design of an innovative balance cushion to be used on horseback. The product is an air-filled balance cushion in a range of different shapes and sizes which is integrated into the specially-designed horse riding and training saddle and can be used for: 1. hippotherapy - to improve mobility and to strengthen small muscles; 2. horse riding - to promote good-seated posture and to improve balance; 3.

Nowadays products need to meet not only the aesthetical taste of the consumer concerning their optical appearance (Look) but also need to satisfy the demands of the consumer's sense of touch (Feel). This means firstly identifying and finding the ideal haptics (according to consumers' wishes) and in a second step creating a product surface that conveys the desired tactile or haptic sensation. This second step is often a complex process with an uncertain outcome.
