What Our Customers Say
With ProFactory, we have a complete test system for our wind turbines generators. Previously, we had challenges with automated tests in terms of system flexibility and repeatable measurement results. Now, our system is secure and modular, making it possible to replace our instruments easily and quickly, while still making completely accurate measurements. GPower is a competent and preferred supplier who – in addition to being leading experts in testing and measurement – also manages to handle project management in relation to everything from project planning and budgets to subcontractors.
We chose GPower to develop a measurement and data collection system that we should use to validate our calculation models in order to optimize our wind turbines. One of the requirements was, among other things, that the system should be able to measure blade dynamics at lengths up to 80 meters. In addition, it should also be able to forward measurement results to our data collection system. Requirements that GPower has fulfilled to a great extent. We will definitely recommend GPower to others who need experts for innovative development projects regarding test and measurement.
The number of electronic components in our production, which require quality assurance, has increased. GPower was quick to understand the task. We did professional back-and-forth in terms of how to solve the task, and we defined the framework for a professional cooperation. GPower has created a robust test system that provides additional value in addition to catching defects. Even the feedback along the way has been educational regarding our components. In certain cases, GPower has brought up its own specialists for a few hours of problem solving, which would have cost us several workdays. We will definitely recommend GPower to others who need to complete projects in a faster way.
Although we prefer to do projects in-house, GPower is our preferred partner when LabVIEW and TestStand experts are needed. For instance, in order to implement specific test sequences and develop complex test solutions for our production tests, which GPower has fulfilled to a great extent. In addition, GPower has also been our lifeline for deployment of new test equipment and general software updates. We highly recommend GPower to others who need test and measurement experts for small as well as large-scale software projects that you have neither the time nor resources to handle.
We chose GPower on the basis of their expertise in LabVIEW-based programming. They were very quick to understand our specific needs. Furthermore, they had a very flexible approach in terms of meeting our wishes, just as they have been accurate in their communication from day one – both before and during the cooperation. Besides solving our programming challenges, GPower was also educational in terms of new aspects of LabVIEW-based programming. The cooperation with GPower has been easy, educational, and effective. We highly recommend GPower.
I contacted GPower due to errors on our existing TestStand sequences after converting our test system from LabVIEW 2014 and TestStand 2014 to, respectively, LabVIEW 2018 and TestStand 2017. By using Remote Support, GPower could easily and quickly help us solve the problem by connecting to our production machines. After fixing the errors, they also helped us with the subsequent conversion process. We clearly recommend GPower to others who need LabVIEW or TestStand experts here and now, but also in the long run.
We contacted GPower as our production test had to be expanded with new LabVIEW features to test new product variants in our system. While only being able to do very simple tests formerly, it’s now possible for us doing flexible tests e.g., repeating and starting tests with different parameters. From inquiry to delivery, GPower solved the task easily, quickly, and without any downtime. Furthermore, they did not have to remove the instruments from our production line in order to solve the task, as they could access our system by means of remote support. We clearly recommend GPower to others who need professional LabVIEW assistance.

A Statement from Our Partner NI
“The world needs engineers now more than ever. Whether testing the products we use in our daily lives or building solutions to protect and optimize our renewable energy sources, NI Partners help customers realize the possible.
GPower, one of our system integrators in Denmark, helps NI customers meet these engineering challenges through developing high-quality, cost-effective test and measurement systems based on NI technology. Working on complex development challenges that production facilities, research and development organizations, and laboratories are facing today, GPower uses their expertise in NI LabVIEW and TestStand software platforms to help customers innovate and develop solutions that can benefit the energy and production industries of tomorrow” – Kristoffer Iversen.
Our name, GPower, is based on the programming language G, of which LabVIEW acts as the editor itself. In addition to LabVIEW, which works as our primary tool, GPower is also based on the conviction that the market standard has been too expensive and too time consuming so far in the development and implementation of software and hardware for measuring and testing in the industry – a story you can read more about in The Story of GPower.

The Story Behind
The Short Story
How It All Began
Founder Steen Secher Schmidt started GPower in 2012 with the goal to change the approach that he believed to be the business-standard. From his viewpoint, the market was defined by a motivation to bill as many man-hours as possible instead of providing clients with high-quality solutions at a reasonable price.
By using day and night, Steen made his ambition reality by developing a modular software-foundation with the ability to reuse and customize software elements from previous projects. The purpose was to make quality instruments available for a wider range of businesses by increasing accessibility for also small and medium-sized businesses which has turned out to be a revolution in the industry.
The idea was to make instruments up to 80 percent complete by design start instead of starting from scratch every time. As Steen usually describes it, the tendency has previously been that clients do not see much progress despite steep prices. So far, elements used in ‘Project A’ and ‘Project B’ have not been utilized in project ‘C’. Instead, software is developed from scratch every time which is expensive, time-consuming, and rarely a good solution.
New Strategy [2016]
While GPower grew steadily in the number of employees and projects, the growth was primarily associated with consultancy which resulted in too little time for developing own products.
Consequently, there was a need for change if Steen and the rest of the team were to reach the vision of own products. As a result, Steen decided to look for another player on the team. During this period, he ran into the experienced businessman Martin Boje who became CEO at GPower in August 2017.
New Facilities [2017]
With Martin at the helm of managing the administrative tasks and strategic decisions, it became possible to free Steen’s skills into new and exciting product development. Moreover, to think new ideas about GPower’s livelihood – ideas that, among other things, included an end of expensive and endless projects by delivering at the agreed time. Making that possible, it required, however, more employees as well as new facilities.
Therefore, GPower moved in new premises by the end of 2017 which enabled to expand the staff and make room for product development. In addition to the fact that the move had a physical value in terms of the future focus on both project and product sales, it also had a mental value in terms of supporting GPower’s journey right now and for the next, many years.
Product Launches [2020]
In addition to growing its staff, GPower has since 2017 had a strategic focus on expanding and maturing its product portfolio. A priority resulting in a wider palette of products within test and measurement.
GPower started by launching ProFactory which is a modular and scalable test system for test execution. Based on demand, they have now moved into even more new markets with products in the field of UV verification, IO-Link and dynamic constructions.
