What is our technological scope?
Production
We use LabVIEW to control & automate production lines. We monitor and log data, and integrate with customer backend systems.
We cater to all the fancy buzz words like IoT, Industrie 4.0, Big Data, Predictive Applications, Traceability…
Embedded
We use LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA to build embedded, network-enabled control devices and device drivers.
We also use other platforms like Raspberry Pi or Arduino for prototyping and for very specialized applications.
Vision
We use LabVIEW Vision to automate optical inspection (AOI) tasks in production lines.
We build turn-key solutions with graphical UIs running on industrial grade hardware like NI Smart Cameras.
Toolsets
