What MeasurePoint does

MeasurePoint Ltd is a UK-based specialist engineering firm founded in 2012 in Windermere, Cumbria, focused exclusively on data acquisition and control systems for gas turbine testing and combustion research. The company serves enterprise clients in the power generation, aerospace, and combustion testing sectors, including named engagements with Alstom, Rolls-Royce, DLR (German Aerospace Center), PSM, and Ansaldo. Its work spans the design, integration, and operation of measurement systems for high-pressure combustor test facilities and field test campaigns, including deployments at DLR Cologne and Alstom's atmospheric combustion facility in Birr, Switzerland.

The company's technology core is built on National Instruments LabVIEW, supplemented by in-house FPGA-based custom instruments and embedded hardware for micro-controllers and micro-processors. Its proprietary mpWare Controller is a data acquisition and monitoring system capable of acquiring from over 100 instruments and 1000+ channels at one sample per second, distributing data live via TCP to connected clients and storing it in a Citadel database. The mpDAQ Excel Add-In extends this functionality by enabling engineers to access real-time data directly within Microsoft Excel. The team holds Certified LabVIEW Architect (CLA) and Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) certifications, an unusually scarce skill set that underpins the firm's bespoke engineering capabilities.

MeasurePoint monetizes through four service lines (System Integration, Software Development, Hardware Development, and Test Support Services) plus bespoke hardware sales, all delivered on a quote-based, project-driven basis with no disclosed recurring software revenue. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting large power organizations, supplemented by event-driven engagement at industry conferences and test facilities. The firm operates with 1-10 employees from its single UK headquarters and is privately held with no institutional investors or parent company affiliations in the source material.

Core offering

MeasurePoint designs, develops, and implements bespoke data acquisition systems for gas turbine and combustion testing. The company's offering combines in-house proprietary software (mpWare Controller, mpDAQ Excel Add-In), custom FPGA-based instrumentation, system integration of multi-vendor hardware, and on-site field test support. Solutions are deployed in enterprise test facilities to acquire, control, monitor, and distribute real-time data from 1000+ channels across power generation and aerospace clients.

Product overview

MeasurePoint offers a portfolio of data acquisition products and services for the power and gas turbine industries. The core product is the mpWare™ software platform (mpWare Controller), which integrates hardware and software to acquire, control, monitor, and distribute data from test facilities. This platform is supplemented by mpDAQ™ (an Excel Add-in) for real-time data access within Microsoft Excel. The company also provides four service offerings: System Integration (integrating hardware/software into new or existing systems), Software Development (LabVIEW, C#, .Net, JavaScript), Hardware Development (embedded hardware, mechanical design, bespoke instruments), and Test Support Services (field testing, instrumentation, data acquisition setup). The products work together as a complete turnkey solution—from hardware integration through software control to data distribution and analysis.
