Siemens Simcenter Anovis
End-of-line test system for non-destructive quality inspection
Siemens Simcenter Anovis is an end-of-line testing system designed for automated quality inspection in mass production. The system combines hardware and software to perform non-destructive testing of components using acoustic markers and to detect quality deviations directly on the production line.

What we value Anovis for
Our observations after the Anovis launch
As a partner for Siemens Simcenter Anovis, we have accompanied the introduction of this test system in various industries. We have observed the following effects with customers:
0% error rate in one step
With automated EOL inspection, no tested components leave production that do not meet the specified quality criteria. Correctly designed/constructed Anovis test benches achieve the required process capability in accordance with the measurement system analysis (MSA).
Reduction of returns
Our customers have been able to drastically reduce the number of returns and save costs as a result. The cost reduction is usually so high that the purchase of the Anovis system pays for itself within 6 to 12 months.
Improved product quality
In the short term, quality fluctuations in the end product are limited by NOK products not leaving the factory. In the longer term, we are seeing improved product quality overall. We attribute this to the increased understanding of product properties and weaknesses, which benefits product development.
Intelligent problem detection
Siemens Simcenter Anovis detects anomalies in components using acoustic markers and intelligent signal analysis. This enables the automated identification of quality deviations and indications of structural weaknesses—directly within the end-of-line process.
Compliance with regulations
Automated quality inspection with Anovis allows test results to be documented, compared, and evaluated in a traceable manner. This supports quality assurance, process control, and compliance with customer-specific testing requirements.

Conception of your acoustic test bench
We assist in defining test criteria and test limits. Together, we determine which acoustic markers are relevant for your component and how these can be used to develop a robust end-of-line testing process.
We quantify mechanical requirements for the components and develop proposals for implementation within the specified cost framework.
Commissioning your Anovis test bench
We provide support with the integration of the system (PLC), ensure the operability of the system and train your personnel in the use of hardware and software.
Simcenter Anovis components for automated quality inspection
Software and hardware for non-destructive end-of-line testing
Simcenter Anovis is a complete system comprising hardware and software for automated fault detection in the production line. The components vary depending on the customer configuration and application scenario. The main core components are
Integration and automation
Via "Test Connect", Simcenter Anovis enables simple integration into PLC-controlled production lines using industry protocols such as OPC UA. The test systems are automatically synchronized with the control processes, increase production efficiency and support quality assurance through direct communication with the production systems.
Data acquisition
Hardware components enable the collection and processing of data from various signal sources such as sensors, microphones and acceleration sensors. These components are connected to software for recording, managing and analyzing large volumes of measurement data.
Signal processing for automated error detection
Simcenter Anovis includes a wide range of signal processing functions, including filtering, transient analysis, spectral analysis, and time-frequency analysis. These functions process measurement data in a way that allows quality-related anomalies in components to be detected and evaluated.
Acoustic markers and signal analysis with Simcenter Anovis
The Anovis analysis software evaluates acoustic markers to automatically inspect components according to defined quality criteria. The Chameleon software component also enables intelligent result evaluation that goes beyond the “OK” and “NOK” classifications. This allows the system to identify test specimens that, while falling within the specified limits, deviate from the expected pattern.
Reporting and visualization
Anovis provides a graphical user interface where current and historical measurement data can be loaded and analyzed to identify anomalies, compare parts/batches, etc. This facilitates communication and the exchange of information between the departments involved and supports data-driven decision-making.
What would your Anovis system look like?
Which testing method is right for your product? How can Simcenter Anovis be integrated into your production process? I can help you determine whether non-destructive quality testing using acoustic markers is suitable for your specific application.
