A solution-focused collaboration space
The Concept
Lehnen Industrial Services has dedicated 1600 square feet to a state-of-the-art proof of concept lab. In partnership with a select group of automation hardware manufacturers, we are able to make the space available at no cost to visitors. The space will serve four distinct, but related, initiatives:
- A proof-of-concept resource for our customers
- A demonstration center for cutting-edge technology
- An educational resource for our community
- A venue for the creation of informative content in the form of videos, trainings, webinars, etc.
A Customer Resource
Visitors de-risk their projects
Customers can achieve proof-of-concept by experimenting with industry-leading technology before investing in a comprehensive solution.
The lab facilitates collaboration with Lehnen’s experts. Rapid prototyping, aided by our machine shop, 3D printing capabilities, and access to cutting-edge components, allows visitors to leave Lehnen Lab with a highly developed concept to bring back to their team for discussion and decision making.
A Demo Center
Only better…
Our partners are industry-leading manufacturers. They are making their products available to our customers for evaluation and experimentation at no charge.
There are no sterile demo cells here – visitors get a real-world understanding of how key components can be used together to solve their specific problem.
The ability to create an end-to-end solution using components from multiple partners gives visitors the confidence that their process can be executed fully; confidence that is impossible to achieve when assessing components independently.

An Educational Resource
Limitless opportunities
With multiple workstations and flexible configuration, Lehnen Lab is ideal for hands-on learning, equipment specific trainings, and online workshops.
Lehnen Lab is available for students and teachers looking for space, equipment, and mentorship they may not otherwise have access to. Keene State College’s Sustainable Product Design & Innovation (SPDI) and Computer Programming students use the lab as an opportunity to access advanced technology and industry experts to supplement their classroom experiences.
Through their time in the lab, students gain knowledge of and familiarity with cutting-edge technologies they will encounter when they step into the workforce in the near future.
We believe in internship and apprenticeship as a crucial component of workforce development. In addition to taking on both high school and college level interns at Lehnen Industrial Services, we have seen how Lehnen Lab offers the unique opportunity for highly qualified students to connect with companies in their target industries.
A Professional Resource Center
Programs and content that serve you
We and our partners are excited about the opportunity Lehnen Lab provides to create programs and content that deliver value to our customers.
Any of our partners or customers are invited to host or request seminars, webinars, in-person trainings, product demonstrations, or proof-of-concept exercises for specific applications. When appropriate, the information shared in those sessions is captured and added to a video catalog filled with solutions to problems you face every day.
Lehnen Lab also offers unique access to industry experts with our partner companies. Have you recently switched from Allen Bradley to Beckhoff PLCs? Schedule a training session in the lab and learn directly from the experts. Does a new technology impact your process? Are you not sure what your options are as you consider changing a process? Send key individuals to the lab for a one-on-one demo of the latest and greatest options available.
Yes, all still at no cost.

“Working with Lehnen has been an absolute pleasure. We share a lot of the same values, Igus and Lehnen, [like] accessibility and democratization of resources. Typically testing and automation are reserved for those who can afford it. But with Lehnen, you now have the ability for all tiers to access it and make use of it.”
