The secure SIGMA Impact Test Software Network

Test systems connect wirelessly and securely, whether online or on your local network. Data flows directly into PDF reports and CSV files, with live exchange enabled via OPC UA. Built-in cybersecurity ensures compliance with CRA and NIS2.

SIGMA PLATFORM

Software platform for SCITEQ Impact Testers

SIGMA is browser-based test automation platform that makes intelligent pressure testing simple and accurate —fully compliant with ASTM D 2444 , ISO 11173, ISO 3127, EN 744, EN 14, and equivalent standards.

It gives operators a simple way to set up recipes, start tests in a few three clicks, monitor test in real time, and generate reports instantly

    • Easy-to-use browser-based interface
    • Auto-Calibration – System auto-calibrates on startup for reliable, repeatable performance
    • Automatically calculates H50 and True Impact Rate (TIR)
    • Start tests in just three clicks
    • Machine status visualization- Ambient light indicator inside test chamber (white = normal, red = alarm)
    • Recipe system – Create, save, edit and reload test recipes; supports Single, Round-the-clock, and Stair case test modes
    • Drop weight library /(RFID) – ensure loading of correct drop weight with unique ID. This is an add on option.
    • I/O manual page (Expert/Service) – Direct access to sensor status and manual actuator control for service/repair
    • Instant report generation and CSV data export
    • OPC UA integration for industrial connectivity
    • Designed to support Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 compliance

Secure remote access and service

SIGMA Software supports secure remote access for software updates, diagnostics, and service through internal Ethernet and external web access. With encrypted VPN connectivity and an integrated firewall in the site manager, the platform is built to provide secure and reliable remote support.

Its cybersecurity-focused design helps manufacturers prepare for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements entering into effect in 2027.

OPTIONAL FEATURE

Auto Weight Recognition

The SIGMA impact software offers Auto Weight Recognition, called the RFID system as an option. The system ensures loading of correct drop weight by reading the unique ID on the specific drop weight and checking correspondence with the selected type of drop weight. If the drop weight does not match the selected value in the controller, impact is not possible.

    • Unique RFID ID on every drop weight – checked against the selected weight before impact
    • Wrong weight = no impact: a classic error source removed
    • Weight verified by the machine, not just entered by the operator
    • Reading distance of approx. 15 mm confirms correct weight position
    • Weight changes in seconds – ideal for stair case and round-the-clock tests
    • Weight library links ID, falling tube, striker type and vacuum setting
    • Optional – can be switched on or off in settings
INTEGRATION & CONNECTIVITY

Compatibility and System Integration

SIGMA Software generates PDF reports automatically and exports test data to CSV with live exchange enabled via OPC UA – or to external data management systems such as Pipeson software.

The platform integrates with corporate IT systems and supports industrial communication standards. SIGMA Software is designed to support IoT environments and Industry 4.0 workflows, enabling connected testing.

  • Automatic report generation
  • Easy CSV data export
  • Integration with Pipeson Software
  • OPC UA support for industrial communication
  • Prepared for IoT and Industry 4.0 application
  • Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2
  • Integration with corporate IT systems and external data management systems

Influx Test Database Back-Up — Your Data, Always Protected

The back-up feature for the Influx test database enables automatic mirroring of all test data onto your own server. Instead of relying solely on the local database, test results are continuously and automatically copied to an external location that you control, creating a reliable, up-to-date backup outside the SIGMA system itself.

The main benefit is data security and peace of mind: because the mirroring happens automatically, there’s no need for manual backup routines or the risk of losing critical test data due to hardware failure.

SIGMA Impact test

SCITEQ fully compliant with ASTM D 2444 , ISO 11173, ISO 3127, EN 744, EN 14, and equivalent standards. Reliable and safe Staircase and Round-the-clock tests of pipe diameters up to 1400mm.

Recipe system

Intuitive recipe wizard for customized, repeatable test setups and consistency. All test parameters are configurable and easy to setup. With smart search function and 5,000 unique recipes.

Auto Calibration

System auto-calibrates on startup for reliable, repeatable performance. Homing sequence for automatic door and contra-weight position is required after a power shut-down; speed-sensor and zero-point distances entered in the UI at commissioning.

Automatic H50 and TIR calculation

With superior speed measuring system, measuring drop speed with a resolution in micro seconds in – and the automatic calculation of H50 and TIR, SIGMA software is best in class.

.

Cybersecurity

SIGMA is NIS2 and CRA (EU Cyber Security Act) compliant. Complying with the requirements for cybersecurity, software traceability, update mechanisms, and documentation.
