Octoglass continues cooperation with the Technological University of St. Petersburg

At Octoglass we are well aware of the difficulties faced not only by the developers of electrochromic systems, but also by everyone who, in one way or another, works in this area. Therefore, we treat our partners with full responsibility and systematically develop such relations.

As part of the program to support partners and exchange experience, the head of the Octoglass Electrochromic Competence Center, DP Knyazhev, visited the Technological University of St. Petersburg, where he held a working meeting with the developers of the United Lab laboratory equipment ecosystem.

The United Lab laboratory equipment ecosystem is focused on studying the properties and formalizing the parameters of various types of electrochromic devices. Currently, the United Lab hardware and software complex contains both specialized equipment designed for electrochemical research of samples of an electrochromic device, and specially developed software for automating experiments.

The software, and as a rule, it is in it that all the know-how is located, allows not only to visualize the information obtained within the framework of the experience, but also to carry out its detailed analysis, including processing by a neural network. Additionally, all received data can be uploaded to a file for further processing in external applications.

One of the main tasks of the United Lab hardware and software complex is to study the degradation factors of electric current on electrochromic devices. By analyzing samples on United Lab laboratory devices, you can create safe power plans that have the least disruptive effect on electrochromic devices.

Octoglass tests its devices, including devices, and with the United Lab methodology. As a result of partnership with the Tekhnolozhki working group, additional control algorithms have been developed for some Octoglass devices.
