Fixed Sensory Lab (FSL)

The sensory cabins of the FSL solution are attached to the floor, wall and ceiling. This divides the original room into light-, noise- and odor-decoupled areas. There is a choice of different pass-through variants for presenting the samples from the preparation kitchen to the tester. A message system enables the test persons to request the next test materials. The sensory task is preferably communicated via questionnaire software. The working height of the serving counter corresponds to that of a kitchenette, while the working height of the testers can resemble a desk situation thanks to a platform in the test room - optimum ergonomics for everyone.
The FSL solution is based on DIN EN ISO 8589 (Sensory analysis - General guidelines for the design of test rooms). It is possible to switch between warm and cool white (with a very high color rendering index), as well as red, green or blue light (RGB), mix, dim and save. The lighting scenes are called up using programmed buttons or an app. Each cabin can be controlled individually.
