We improve the lives of those who wear and those who make leather goods, footwear, gloves and PPE.
Product performance
Enhance your products' differentiation and performance. From comfort and usability to durability and ergonomics, CTC helps you objectively measure product performance and identify opportunities for improvement right from the design stage. In our Living Lab, our experts combine biomechanics, robotic testing, ergonomics, and method development to analyze products under real-world conditions, compare solutions, and demonstrate their benefits.
Living Lab
Enhancing the performance of each product in its specific application.
CTC’s Living Lab combines the human sciences, instrumented testing, real-world product usage, and cutting-edge technologies.
We improve the lives of those who make and those who wear these products every day.
Methods
CTC designs and validates new test methods to precisely measure the characteristics, performance, and conformity of materials and products.
Each year, its experts develop 15 to 20 methods tailored to new uses, technological advancements, and regulatory requirements, overseeing the entire process through to their implementation in the laboratory.
Ergonomics
CTC supports companies in improving working conditions by adapting workstations, equipment, and the organization of activities.
Its work and recommendations aim to safeguard employee health, ensure safe work practices, boost efficiency, and preserve expertise.
Biomechanics
CTC analyzes the interactions between the user and the product to objectively measure comfort, usage, and performance.
Using sensors, motion capture, and real-world testing protocols, our experts evaluate movements, pressure points, and stresses to guide design and optimize products.
Robot testing
CTC uses robotic cells to replicate the movements, stresses, and loads encountered during actual use.
Walking and running simulators, repeated bag placement, and cyclic testing make it possible to objectively measure product durability, resistance, and performance.
CTC helps you measure, compare, and improve your products' performance under real-world usage conditions by leveraging the expertise of its Living Lab.
