OmniPod® Test System Prevents Defects and Improves Processes

Challenge: Test Insulet Corporation's OmniPod® insulin delivery systems early in the production process in order to lower scrap costs and prevent defective products from shipping.

Insulet Corporation contracted Bloomy Controls to develop the test station using National Instruments LabVIEW software and PXI hardware. This project required the development of a turnkey manufacturing test system that would perform critical connection tests for the OmniPod®. The system would also provide managers with real-time statistical process control data for early production failure trend information.

Automating Radio Test with LabVIEW, TestStand, and PXI (pdf)

Challenge: Increase throughput of radios that are tested and processed by the service center.

Automated Testing of Helium Leak Detectors (pdf)

Challenge: Replace manual testing procedures to increase functional test throughput of helium leak detectors.

TestStand and LabVIEW Automate Telephone and Communicator PCB Functional Test (pdf)

Challenge: Replace outdated functional test system that tests printed circuit boards (PCBs) in telephone and communicator. One PCB requires 102 tests; the second requires 66 tests.

"The Bloomy Controls test architecture and NI cards have made the difference in accuracy and ease of controlling the test systems. This has resulted in consistency between tests, great yields at AQL, and ease in updating the system with new tests."
– Elaine Fasoli Bailey, Manager of Quality Assurance and Process Control, Lifeline Systems Inc.

TestStand and LabVIEW Automate Personal Help Button PCB Testing (pdf)

Challenge: Replace an outdated printed circuit board functional test system used for testing personal help buttons while avoiding production downtime.

"Continuous improvement, contract manufacturer control, and lot traceability have been greatly simplified, thanks to our new test systems developed by Bloomy Controls."

		"The previous venturi calibration system was time consuming and had a very low throughput. The new LabVIEW-based system developed by Bloomy Controls handles multiple nozzles in a fraction of the time. LabVIEW software allowed for a simpler user interface that promotes productivity and ease of training new operators." Roy Nordlund Instrumentation Engineering Pratt & Whitney
