What Industry is Saying
"Other fatigue software vendors claim to have an effective method, but when you look into the details, they're using a lot of subjective 'fudge factors,' not Pingsha"
Hari Agrawal,
Senior Technical Specialist with Ford Motor Co.
 
"Incredibly significant and compares its impact on engineering to that of mapping the human genome in the scientific world."
Tarsem Jutla,
Caterpillar
 
"It will change the way fatigue analysis is taught at universities and practiced by industry."
