Preferred for Electrochemical Corrosion Testing: High-Precision Salt Spray Test Equipment

In today’s distributed work environments—where labs span multiple locations, teams collaborate remotely, and data needs to flow seamlessly between QC, R&D, and management—traditional salt spray testers create critical bottlenecks. They’re tied to on-site operation (no way to monitor tests from off-site), store data locally (hard to share or integrate with enterprise systems), and require in-person handoffs for test results—delaying decisions and creating friction for global teams. A multinational automotive supplier, for example, struggled to coordinate corrosion tests across its U.S. and Asian labs; a remote R&D team couldn’t adjust test parameters without traveling to the lab, wasting days on logistics.
The ConnectCorr Smart Salt Spray Tester—launched by TOBO GROUP, a leader in connected lab equipment—solves this with end-to-end IoT integration, remote control capabilities, and collaborative data tools. Built for modern, distributed teams, it lets users monitor tests in real time from anywhere (via app or web), share data instantly with stakeholders, and integrate corrosion results with enterprise systems (LIMS, ERP, QC software)—all while maintaining ASTM/ISO compliance. It’s not just a tester; it’s a centralized hub for corrosion testing that breaks down geographic and operational silos.
At the core of ConnectCorr is its IoT-Enabled Real-Time Monitoring & Control System, which frees teams from on-site constraints. The tester connects to Wi-Fi or 5G (for remote locations) and streams live data—temperature, humidity, fog density, salt concentration, and test duration—to a dedicated mobile app and web portal. Users can start, pause, or adjust test parameters (e.g., extend a 72-hour ASTM B117 test to 100 hours) from their phone or laptop, even if they’re miles from the lab. The system sends push notifications for key events: test completion, parameter drift, or equipment alerts (e.g., “Low salt solution—refill soon”). A materials engineer at a global electronics firm uses this feature to monitor tests from home: “I used to drive to the lab at 2 AM to check on critical tests,” they say. “Now I get alerts on my phone and can adjust settings with one tap—saving hours of travel and keeping projects on track.” The app also includes live video feeds from the tester’s internal cameras, letting users visually inspect samples without interrupting tests.
Complementing remote control is the Cloud-Native Data Hub, which centralizes test data for easy sharing and integration. Traditional testers store data on local hard drives or USBs, requiring manual transfer and risking loss; ConnectCorr automatically syncs all test data (sensor readings, images, compliance reports) to a secure, encrypted cloud platform. Stakeholders get role-based access: QC teams can view real-time results, R&D can analyze historical data to identify trends, and executives can pull compliance summaries—all without emailing files or sharing physical drives. The hub integrates seamlessly with popular LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) like Thermo Scientific SampleManager and ERP tools like SAP, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. A third-party testing lab serving global clients used this integration to cut report delivery time by 50%: “Clients used to wait 3 days for test results,” says their operations manager. “Now they access the cloud portal instantly, download compliance reports, and even leave comments—streamlining our workflow and improving client satisfaction.”
“Traditional salt spray testers are isolated tools—they don’t fit how modern teams work,” says TOBO GROUP’s Connected Lab Solutions Director. “ConnectCorr turns corrosion testing into a collaborative, data-driven process. It lets teams work from anywhere, share insights instantly, and integrate testing into their broader enterprise workflows—saving time, reducing errors, and driving better decisions.”
The system complies with global corrosion testing standards including ASTM B117, ISO 9227, IEC 60068-2-11, and MIL-STD-810G, ensuring test results are industry-recognized and audit-ready. It also offers customizable dashboards, letting users tailor data views to their needs (e.g., QC teams focus on pass/fail metrics, R&D prioritizes trend analysis).
