The Prototypes, Maintenance, and Metrology (PMM) technical platform is a strategic asset for ISA, providing essential technological support for academic and applied research projects. It stands out through its ability to design and build custom-made prototypes and complex automation systems, drawing on advanced expertise in electronics, mechanics, industrial computing, metrology, software development, and 3D printing.
PMM covers the entire development chain, from needs analysis to final manufacturing, including functional design, modeling, software programming, mechanical fabrication, assembly, and commissioning. It can contribute at any stage of a project, whether for targeted support or complete management, adapting its solutions to the scientific or technical specificities of each laboratory.
Drawing on extensive expertise, the PMM department also develops and builds custom organic elemental analyzers tailored to the specific needs of projects. Additionally, it designs specialized equipment such as tubular furnaces (up to 1000°C), sampling systems, physical quantity acquisition systems, control units, automation of manual operations, as well as graphical interfaces for device control and data processing.
PMM assesses the feasibility—both technical and economic—of your request and supports you throughout the development of prototypes or small pre-production series. It delivers comprehensive solutions spanning both design phases (schematics, electronic boards, sensor selection, data acquisition and processing software) and manufacturing phases (electronics production, mechanical machining, welding, subcontractor management, and final assembly).
Thanks to its collaborative approach, responsiveness, and ability to turn ideas into functional tools, PMM plays a central role in the success of research projects at ISA, accelerating experimentation, securing development phases, and fostering technological innovation within laboratories.
