Upgrading and Deploying LabVIEW Realtime Temperature Control Code on Legacy cRIOs

An audit of process control accuracy at a client facility led to the work stoppage of more than three quarters of available test fixtures due to faulty control software. Since the original authors of the temperature control code were no longer available, our client sought our help to bring their production back online. DMC stepped…
End-of-Line Test Station for Frozen Beverage Machine Manufacturing

DMC developed an end-of-line test station for a manufacturer of frozen beverage machines. After successful implementation, DMC replicated the system for four additional production lines. The automated test stations replace a manual process that was difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone. The new turn-key system’s design focus is speed, accuracy, and reliability. National Instruments CompactDAQ hardware is utilized…
Integrating DewesoftX into LabVIEW Software using Python Nodes

Embedding an Executable GUI This is a common scenario, as many manufacturers only provide an EXE-based interface. Rather than working against this limitation, we embraced it by embedding the DewesoftX window directly into our LabVIEW application. LabVIEW’s support for displaying external executables allows us to present DewesoftX as just another “device” in the system, maintaining…
Distributed Safety System for Pilot Plant

DMC designed a standalone air-gapped network to host all the automated equipment for the client’s facility. Using Integrated Architecture Builder, our engineers created a Rockwell controls architecture with a standard hardware set. We utilized the Rockwell library of process objects for PLC software and HMI controls. To allow operators to safely de-energize any piece of equipment from any of…
Plant Control System for Confectionary Factory

DMC began its long relationship with this client when the client needed their confectionary equipment code updated for their entire facility. DMC’s first project with the client involved creating custom code for the client’s confectionary equipment. This allowed the client to make custom orders for their customers and produce a variety of confectionary goods. DMC…
Location Monitoring Using React and .NET

DMC engineers worked with a client in the energy industry to develop a tool capable of monitoring and controlling solar panel sites and wind farms across the globe. The team began with UI design. The client requested a variety of pages, which DMC engineers created using React typescript and Material U. Back-end programming was completed…
Car Wash IoT Gateway Device with Arduino Cloud

DMC worked with Car Wash App, to develop a hardware prototype that could be deployed to different car wash systems (bays, tunnels, self-serve options). Our client was looking to enter the automated car wash industry, intending to develop a cost-effective, low-risk embedded solution that would serve as a scalable design for future mass deployment. During…
Modular Hardware-in-the-loop Systems with Shared Test Equipment

Modular Signal Emulation Hardware The customer had 15+ signal types that they needed to emulate to fully validate their control software. DMC was able to develop a modular signal emulation system based on UEI hardware which allowed each signal type to be composed into different HIL configurations based on the client’s requirements. Shared Test…
Automated Vision Inspection for Aerospace

DMC provided hardware consultation along with designing & developing custom manual test control software to allow Client’s R&D team to productively test and refine the system components. Upon collection & analysis of test data, an automated test sequence was added, along with image processing features, that improved the performance of the prototype and allowed detailed image analysis. DMC worked with the…
Managing Employee Files with Document Sets

The client used a third-party system to manage all employee documentation. They tasked DMC engineers with the development of a document management system that would allow them to manage files internally. First, DMC engineers retrieved exports from the third-party system. From these exports, document sets were automatically created. The new document sets were programmed to…
