July 2025: Quality Is Engineered, Not Just Inspected

When we talk about quality in the industrial sector, the conversation often turns to procedures, protocols, and inspections. However, our experience over the years has shown that for advanced technologies and demanding applications, quality cannot be a one-size-fits-all process—it must be engineered with the same precision as the product itself.

Because Quality Control Is Never the Same

A motor designed to operate in a sterile laboratory, one destined for a high-speed train, or another built to endure 20 years on an offshore wind turbine ,or even in space, each comes with unique operating conditions and risk profiles.

As a result, what needs to be tested and how cannot follow a fixed protocol.

The right approach is not a universal checklist applied blindly to 100% of production, but rather the ability to develop custom control plans tailored to the real-world criticalities of each specific application.

Flexibility as an Industrial Value

While significant investments now allow for fully automated inspection systems, these are often rigid and cost-intensive. They are ideal for standardized products, but far less effective when specifications vary rapidly and require constant adaptation.

In contexts like the energy transition, where electric motors must perform in vastly different scenarios, from electric mobility and construction sites to offshore wind farms and even space systems, the true value lies in the ability to co-design the testing phase with the client, even developing dedicated testing equipment when needed.

Our Contribution: Engineering Quality from the Ground Up

This is the path VMF has chosen. Thanks to our flexible organizational structure and agile processes, we can:

• Support clients in defining the most relevant control parameters for their application.
• Design and adapt custom testing tools, eliminating unnecessary checks and focusing resources where they matter most.
• Integrate technical expertise with manufacturing experience, delivering a quality assurance process that is never static.

In a World Demanding Smarter, Stronger, and More Specialized Motors - We Design Quality

We believe that true quality isn’t imposed, it’s engineered. The ability to shape quality control around the final function, rather than around abstract rules, is what makes the difference.

Every custom electric motor carries with it a specific environment, a lifespan, and a purpose: and quality must originate from that context.

That’s what makes custom electric motor design not only a technical challenge, but also an exercise in tailored excellence.
