SonicTC – the acoustic test platform. We coded it, you configure.
One software for three test disciplines, one hardware family from lab device to 100 % inline system. With the deepest acoustic test expertise on the market — born from Fraunhofer research.
One platform. Three disciplines. Plus hardware.
Noise Testing
NVH analysis for end-of-line and inline testing. Objectively evaluate airborne and structure-borne noise on motors, transmissions, pumps and actuators.

Resonance analysis detects cracks, structural defects and material mix-ups – non-destructively and fully automated. On cast, sintered, ceramic and forged parts.
Learn more SonicTC.DSPProcess Monitoring
Real-time vibration analysis for tool wear, joining processes and machine monitoring. Detect problems before scrap is created.
Learn more Test EquipmentTest Hardware
From mobile lab device to manual test bench to fully automated inline systems. Integration kits for your machine builders.

Test software that convinces.
Configure instead of code.
SonicTC provides a graphical user interface that makes test sequences visually configurable. No programming needed – engineers parameterise directly at the system.
Real-time signal analysis, SPC control charts and gapless traceability – all in one software. The same configuration runs on the lab bench and on the inline system.
Platform features at a glance.
On a clear, self-explanatory UI. You choose from libraries and define scope and order.
Graphical test sequences
Build test sequences visually, automate and generalise via product variables.
Open system
Hardware-agnostic, modular, loose DB coupling. No vendor lock-in. More flexibility.
High connectivity
40+ years of automation. PROFINET, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, DIO, Modbus, MES, ERP.
Flexible production
Linear AND chaotic production. Auto product changes, carriers, line dashboard.
SPC & Six Sigma
Cg/Cgk, Gage R&R, Cm/Cmk, Cp/Cpk, Q-Q, histogram, Pareto, Laney p', correlation.
Audit trail & compliance
Gapless change history. RBAC. FDA, IEC 62304, ISO 13485. Auto-ID, barcode, DMC, SN.
Four pillars. One platform.
Behind SonicTC stand four cross-cutting platform topics – the building blocks every industry and every module relies on.
Integration platform & connectivity
One software. Everything talks to everything.
SonicTC links sensors, controllers and the IT backbone into one system. 25+ years of automation experience guarantee intelligent communication – from the shopfloor up to MES and ERP.
→ 02Industry 4.0 & smart factory
One line. Many products.
With SonicTC, test stations, lines and fixtures get configured flexibly – from a simple single-product line to chaotic production with automatic product changeover.
→ 03Data handling & data management
Every part has its story.
The SonicTC history is the central test object and measurement data store. It links installations, archives audit-proof, and provides data for statistics, analyses and reports.
→ 04Testing of smart components
More than testing – also initialising.
Smart actuators such as e-motors, inverters and ECUs are often contacted for the first time at end-of-line. SonicTC handles addressing, diagnosis, calibration and functional testing – in one sequence.

Where does SonicTC fit?
Automation
Standard solution for controlling complex test sequences – instead of bespoke development.
Test machine building
Customer-specific test tasks delivered efficiently with prepared libraries.
Process planning
Early consideration of test technology reduces effort in later mass production.
Quality assurance
SPC, traceability, audit trail, documentation – the comprehensive standard solution.
Fully connected.
25+ communication protocols. Built in.
SonicTC speaks your machine's language: PROFINET, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, TCP/IP, RS232 and many more. Server/client architecture for distributed test stations with real-time synchronisation. Verdict latencies under 100 ms from sensor to PLC, KPIs streamed seamlessly to MES and ERP.
Pre-configured for your industry.
Global test data connectivity.
Compare data across sites.
The SonicTC data platform connects your test stations worldwide. Central data management, distributed testing. Compare batches, suppliers and sites – in one interface.
Edge-first architecture: test verdicts are made locally in real time, the cloud is only optional for cross-site analytics. Your line stays productive even on a network outage.
Platform maturity in metrics.
Answers about the SonicTC platform.
What is the SonicTC platform?
SonicTC is RTE's acoustic measurement and test platform: one software for three test disciplines (noise, material, process) plus a modular hardware family from lab device to 100 % inline. Configure instead of code — your engineers parameterise test sequences graphically.
Which SonicTC modules exist?
Three software modules — SonicTC.NVH (noise testing), SonicTC.AT (material resonance) and SonicTC.DSP (process monitoring) — plus the SonicTC Test Equipment hardware family with SonicTC.Cube (lab), SonicTC.Line (inline system) and Sonic MLNR (portable test hammer).
Can I keep my existing sensors?
Yes. SonicTC is hardware-agnostic and works with industry-standard sensors (Brüel & Kjær, Polytec, PCB, Endevco, Kistler and many more). We qualify your sensor portfolio and integrate it — no vendor lock-in.
Which interfaces and protocols are supported?
More than 25 communication protocols out of the box: PROFINET, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, TCP/IP, RS232 and many more. Server/client architecture for distributed test stations with real-time sync to PLC, MES and ERP.
How fast can I deploy SonicTC in production?
A demo licence is delivered within 24 hours, a feasibility study on your parts produces results in 2–4 weeks. A pilot or rental system runs in 4–12 weeks, full series commissioning typically in 12–26 weeks.
Is SonicTC FDA / IEC 62304 / ISO 13485 ready?
Yes. SonicTC ships with a gapless audit trail, role-based access control (RBAC) and electronic signatures. The platform is therefore deployable in regulated industries (medical, pharma, aerospace) without additional compliance layers.
