Developing Safety Solutions for Swaying Payloads with Simulink

See how startup Vita Inclinata used Model-Based Design to develop load stability systems for helicopters and cranes, stabilizing payloads at the flip of a switch.

The Vita Inclinata team built system models with Simulink^® to capture different dynamic effects, including aircraft motion, hoist effects, and external disturbances such as wind. Using hardware-in-the-loop, they simulated full environmental scenarios and fed the synthetic data into their load stability system. This allowed them to design, build, and test better systems—faster.

Through the MathWorks Startup Program, Vita Inclinata had access to MATLAB^® at a startup-friendly price and engineering support from MathWorks experts, which helped them to research projects, develop prototypes, and bring their products to production. By adopting an expanded toolchain through the MathWorks Startup Program, the company saw an exponential increase in their return on investment.
