This paper explains the specific advantages and disadvantages of interferometric measuring and testing techniques using the example of holographic interferometry. Applications from commercial vehicle construction and mechanical engineering are given for the most important fields in which holographic measuring techniques are used. Particular attention is thereby paid to considering the techniques from the point of view of the industrial user: to their availability outside special laboratories, to their reliability in day-to-day industrial use and to their economy. The present state of the art and the expected developments in the field of automatic evaluation are also discussed.
