What is our technological scope?

 
LabVIEW is an exceptionally versatile tool and we use it to solve the most diverse challenges. Technologically, we focus on:
 

Production Areas

We use LabVIEW to control & automate production lines. We monitor and log data, 
and integrate with customer backend systems. We help alleviate today’s big challenges like IoT, Industrie 4.0,  Big Data,  Predictive Applications or Traceability, using LabVIEW to provide production areas with better software.

 

Embedded Systems

We use LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA to build embedded, network-enabled control devices and device drivers. We favour NI’s CompactRIO and PXI systems, but we also employ other platforms like Raspberry Pi for prototyping and for specialised applications. Looking beyond our own nose leads to better software.

Delacor Queued Message Handler (DQMH™)

The DQMH™ is a reference design provided by Delacor. It expands on the NI QMH by providing safe, event-based message handling and scripting tools to make development easy, encourage same style between different developers in the same project and improve efficiency.

We use DQMH™ for most of our projects, and we’re DQMH™ Trusted Advisors. Fabiola and her team gave us tremendous support from the very beginning and have been responsive and helpful ever since. We all know that the tool itself can only take you so far. It’s the people behind the technique and their mindset that really matter.
