Annual strategy weekend

Davos Instruments has held its annual strategy weekend in Weissenberge GL. Inspiring discussions, a short skiing excursion and substantial meals have been the highlights of this successful event.

News at the turn of the year

The last months of 2017 brought good news: Jon Buchli joined the team, new office space was found and last but not least, Davos Instruments has become part of the ESA business incubation centre Switzerland.

We are looking forward to an interesting 2018.

Heliostat Repair

Davos Instruments has been repairing PMOD/WRCs heliostat system.

The heliostat is an installation with two flat mirrors that is guiding a solar light beam into a laboratory, where experiments take place. The electrical circuitry of the mirror motion control system had been damaged by a lightning stroke last year. After the repair, the heliostat is now successfully operated by PMOD/WRC again.
