With every emerging generation of camera typically having a new custom communications protocol, Valeo needed a solution to more efficiently design and test automated parking systems. Using the NI platform, the company developed a system that reuses employee skillsets, software, and hardware, and allows them to adapt to changing requirements and complete projects within a shrinking timeline.
Saab Aeronautics implemented a hardware-in-the-loop solution using the NI Switch Load and Signal Conditioning (SLSC) system to replace a custom system for interfacing to line-replaceable units (LRUs) in its simulators. This allowed Saab to run many LRU tests without putting a fighter in the sky, which can be costly and potentially dangerous. Without the COTS SLSC system, Saab may have needed to spend thousands of man-hours and many thousands of euros in materials to develop the system.
IDT uses the flexibility of the NI Semiconductor Test System to reconfigure and grow its test platforms in parallel with its growing performance needs. This allows IDT to avoid major costly retooling efforts on the test floor as generations of test systems become obsolete or unable to meet new test requirements.
