Innkeeper LLC A testing, consulting and engineering company focused on developing and implementing test equipment. It's what we do.

Innkeeper LLC is a privately held US-based test equipment manufacturer focused on the development of high end control systems for the laboratory and production environment. Innkeeper started in 2006 and, after managing through the financial crisis in 2008-9, we are here to stay. We now service customers around the globe by providing custom test equipment solutions for automotive and aerospace and medical test applications. At Innkeeper we get excited about testing and test equipment. It's kind of geeky, but for us it keeps us coming in every morning. Every single technical professional at Innkeeper counts testing or test equipment manufacturing as their primary source of experience. Our areas of expertise include:

-Servo-Hydraulic Test Equipment
-Electro-Mechanical Test Equipment

Ten minutes booked in advance beats an hour of hallway small talk.

That's the difference a scheduled meeting makes at a show as big as Automotive Testing Expo North America 2026.

Innkeeper LLC will be at booth T1422, October 27–29 in Novi, Michigan. Skip the wait and lock in time to talk through your exact challenge:

- Custom engineered test equipment built around your specs
- Controls and retrofits that modernize the rigs you already own
- InnControl, our modular control and data acquisition platform
- Durability, fatigue, and strength testing for your components

Come with a problem. Leave with a path forward.

3,000+ people. 250+ exhibitors. Three days. Here's the question that decides whether it's worth your time: will you walk out with a solution to the testing problem that's been slowing your team down?

At Automotive Testing Expo North America 2026, that's exactly the conversation we want to have.

Innkeeper LLC will be at booth T1422 (October 27–29, Vibe Credit Union Showplace Novi, Michigan). If your validation program is fighting any of these, we should talk:

- A suspension bracket, seat mechanism, and motor mount that each need different durability, fatigue, and strength testing—forced through one rigid rig
- Controls, motion, and data acquisition that won't talk to each other, so every report becomes a manual stitching job
- An aging test rig with sound mechanics but controls that can't meet today's standards
- A tangle of single-purpose controllers when one modular platform (InnControl) could run them all

We don't sell you the closest thing on a shelf. We engineer custom test equipment around your actual specs, integrate the systems you already own, and retrofit the rigs still worth keeping.

Here's the practical part: a show this size rewards planning. The teams who book time in advance get a focused conversation about their exact challenge—not a rushed hello between sessions.

Today we recognize Indigenous Peoples Day.

We honor the cultures, histories, and enduring contributions of the Indigenous peoples who have shaped this land for generations. Their traditions, knowledge, and resilience continue to strengthen the communities we all share.

To the Indigenous communities and everyone marking this day: we honor you.

Deadlines don't always show what they cost us. Neither do the people carrying them.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and it's a good moment to pause. Engineering and lab work ask a lot of the people who do it. Long validation runs. Tight timelines. The quiet pressure of getting the details exactly right, because the details matter. That kind of work is rewarding, but it can also wear on you in ways that aren't always visible.

So here's a gentle reminder: your well-being matters as much as the results you produce.

Take the break. Step away from the bench when you need to. Talk to someone if things feel heavy. And take a minute to check in on the people around you — a simple "how are you really doing?" can mean more than you know.

To everyone in the Innkeeper LLC community: thank you for the care and dedication you bring to your work. Please bring some of that same care to yourselves today, and every day.

Be kind to your mind. We're in this together.

We're heading to Novi—and we'd love to see you there.

Innkeeper LLC will be exhibiting at the Automotive Testing Expo North America 2026, October 27–29 at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace. It's the world's leading expo for automotive testing, development, and validation technologies, now part of Vehicle Tech Week North America, bringing together 250+ exhibitors, 3,000+ industry professionals, and 25+ speakers.

For automotive OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and the engineers behind them, it's three days packed with the people and technology shaping how vehicles get validated.

Stop by T1422 to talk through what we build:

- Custom engineered test equipment designed around your specs
- Control solutions and retrofits that modernize existing rigs
- InnControl, our modular control and data acquisition platform
- DIY modular test kits for teams who want to build their own setups
- Durability, fatigue, and strength testing tailored to your components

The best conversations at a show this size are the ones you plan ahead. If you're attending, reach out early to lock in time with our team.

Every reliable test program runs on two things: precise data acquisition and a very full pot of coffee.

Happy National Coffee Day from Innkeeper LLC. We spend our days pushing components to their limits, but let's be honest about what pushes us there — that first cup at 7 a.m. and the refill that gets us through a long calibration run.

Durable. Dependable. Performs under pressure. We're talking about coffee, but the same could be said for a good test rig.

Here's hoping your mug stays full and your test cycles keep steaming along today.

Most testing vendors are good at one half of the problem. That's where the trouble starts.

Some companies build solid machines but hand you controls that never quite fit. Others write capable software with no hardware to run it on. So you end up stitching two vendors together and owning the gap between them.

Innkeeper LLC was built to close that gap. Since 2006, we've worked at the intersection of machine control and data acquisition, delivering both sides of the solution as one.

That means when you come to us, you get:

- Machine design and custom test equipment engineered around your specs
- Control software and data acquisition built to run on it, not bolted on after
- One team accountable for the whole system, from first build to long-term support

Nearly two decades of solving durability, fatigue, and strength testing problems has taught us something simple: the best results come when the hardware and software are designed by the same people.

Our test program has three phases and, too often, three different suppliers.

Prototype validation goes to one vendor. Production testing to another. Then a component gets revised two years later, and you're hunting for whoever built the original rig—if they're still around.

Each handoff resets the learning curve. The new supplier doesn't know your part, your history, or the quirks the last team already solved. You re-explain everything, and the institutional knowledge scatters.

A single testing partner across the full product lifecycle changes that math.

At Innkeeper LLC, we stay with your product from first prototype through production and beyond:

- Early validation — characterize and stress-test while the design is still flexible
- Production testing — repeatable systems that confirm quality at volume
- Revisions and upgrades — retrofits and reconfigurations when the component evolves

Because we know your part from day one, every later phase starts with context instead of a cold handoff. That continuity is where real efficiency lives.

If your validation spans a product's full life, it helps to have one team that spans it with you. Start the conversation at www.innkeeperllc.com.

Whatever you need to test, we've already built a way to do it.

Custom test equipment. Retrofits for aging rigs. Our InnControl™ platform. DIY modular kits. Lease-to-own options. And support that stays with you long after install.

At Innkeeper LLC, it all adds up to one turn-key solution for product validation—engineered around your specs, not a catalog. From aerospace and automotive to biomedical, electronics, marine, and rail, we build the tools that prove your products hold up.

One partner. Every stage of testing. Whatever you're trying to prove, we'd welcome the chance to build it.
