A supplier of machinery for the energy industry who was developing a massive SCADA system in LabVIEW, felt they needed to get assurance that the system was of good quality and was ready for 24/7 operation before delivery to the end customer.

This study describes a project that WireFlow executed for a client who developed a new generation of maritime sensors built on MEMS-technology, rugged form factor, computational power and high-end sensor fusion algorithms. They wanted to do it fast, and they wanted WireFlow to design the systems backbone.

The customer in this study is a market leading manufacturer of biometric sensors found in millions of phones all over the world. Testing and validation were performed in an ad hoc manner, as was the implementation of the test platform.

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are introducing new challenges for the automotive industry. To verify that ADAS functions are safe before being used on the road, extensive testing must be performed in lab environment. WireFlow was contacted by a world leading car manufacturer to investigate the possibility to simulate multiple parallel IMUs over high speed Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPI). By using National Instruments CompactRIO System on Module (SOM) together with LabVIEW FPGA, WireFlow was able to develop such an IMU simulator.

Azelio is working on new ways to store renewable energy, so it can be made available when it is most needed. They combine the well-known Stirling engine, with an innovative Thermal Energy Storage using the phase changing characteristics of a metal alloy, to recover the energy during the dark hours. During the development they needed a flexible testbed for RnD and validation.

A Wireflow customer, working in the automotive segment, wanted the possibility to stream UDP-data in both directions between the VeriStand-system and the remote devices. This meant that they needed support for this in their VeriStand platform, and they turned to WireFlow for help.

UniqueSec is an innovative company that develops advanced signal processing algorithms for small-scale commercial radars. In the process of creating a prototype implementation of ASGARD1, UniqueSec needed a partner to assist during product development and decrease time to market.

This case study describes how companies such as WR Controls uses products from National Instruments in order to quickly set up data acquisition systems adapted to a different test of a variety of products.

Acticon used products from National Instruments and services from WireFlow in order to quickly set up a data acquisition system for evaluation of ventilation products in their air and acoustic technology laboratory.

SEM is one of the world’s leading producers of electronic ignition systems and engine control systems. WireFlow created a system that allows the technicians at SEM to select predefined engine cycles using a touch-screen.

We developed a control and monitoring system for a vertical and floating Wind turbine for Deep Sea Deployment. The ambition was to provide the most cost-effective product for the production of renewable energy.

Our client needed a fast and reliable test system for both manual characterizations as well as for automatic regression testing. Together with our client, WireFlow has created a platform with the ability to adapt and scale with the company’s innovations and short development cycles.

SSPA is a maritime consultancy company hosting unique testing facilities for physical validation of ship models. WireFlow’s assignment were to develope the software framework controlling the hardware from National Instruments.
