With smart software and advanced machines, we turn engineering data into error free wiring and efficient production.
The entry level machine for wire preparation
The Testudo enables ultra fast, error free and fully data driven wire preparation with the help of the Optima platform. Anyone can operate it, even without a technical background. This boosts your output, lowers your costs and moves you toward true production automation.
Reduced manual processing time
20–35%

Discover the benefits
Ideal step toward automation
Start digitizing without needing to work fully automatically right away. Perfect for companies that want to grow step by step.
Data driven and error free
Wires are automatically produced in the correct length and order based on Optima data. Fewer errors and less rework.
Guidance through the Workfloor App
Employees receive clear step by step instructions. Even less experienced employees can wire efficiently this way.

Discover the Testudo in action
The Testudo makes the transition from conventional panel building to digitalised production simple and immediately achievable.
By connecting with the Optima platform and the WorkFloor app, the Testudo produces every wire automatically to the correct length and in the right sequence, fully controlled by your work preparer’s settings.
Why do companies choose the Testudo?
Because it delivers instant results: higher speed, fewer errors and finally real value from your EPLAN data. You increase your output without adding staff and immediately reduce your cost per panel.

Martin van Nies — AES panelshop B.V.
We have been working with Optima and the Testudo for over a year now. The move to a digital production process has truly pushed us forward. We work in a more structured way, faster, and with fewer errors. It brings clarity to work preparation and makes us less dependent on scarce technical personnel. You can tell the system was developed from real-world practice.
Frequently asked questions about the Testudo
Have questions about how the Testudo works or how it fits into your production? You’re not the only one. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions from customers. From installation to integration with the Optima platform and Workfloor, everything is clearly laid out for you.
Does Optima only work with our machines?
Optima is designed to work seamlessly with Testudo and Castellum, but it can also be integrated into existing production processes.
Do I need a machine right away to start using Optima?
No. You can start with Optima and Workfloor only. You can always add the Testudo or Castellum later.
What role does EPLAN play in this process?
We use the data from EPLAN (for example Pro Panel) as the foundation. Optima makes this data directly usable for work preparation, production and machine control.
What exactly is Optima?
Optima is our software platform that validates engineering data, connects it to the shop floor and provides real time insight into production.
Will my employees be trained?
Yes. We provide on site or online training so your team can work independently with Optima, Testudo and Castellum.
How does Optimation support maintenance?
We provide remote support, software updates and on site service when needed, ensuring your system keeps running at its best.
