Activities in 2025

AJOLLY Testing is supporting the industrialization of a new DOCSIS 3.1 modem design in Manaus - Brazil, focusing on cost reduction, WiFi and FEM optimization, and efficient production. Key actions include tester adaptation, test analysis, hardware diagnostics, and process improvement using TestStand and LitePoint tools. In Mexico, AJOLLY is also redeveloping a LabVIEW-based software for an automated fuse box press, implementing a DQMH architecture with optimized Ethernet/IP and database communication to boost performance and reliability.

 


In light of the continuous evolution of technology and the growing demands for competitiveness, AJOLLY Testing is assisting in the transition to a new DOCSIS 3.1 modem design. The main objective is to reduce production costs by redesigning the WiFi section and FEM modules, while maintaining high performance and an efficient industrialization process. Another project is the redevelopment of an automated fuse box assembly press machine for Yazaki, where AJOLLY Testing is reengineering the software to achieve better performance and reliability.

  • The industrialization of this new DOCSIS 3.1 modem design brings several key technical challenges:
    • 🛠️Adaptation of testers and scripts: Analysis of the new specifications and updates to the test sequences to ensure optimized validation (TestStand and LitePoint IQfact).
    • 📊Support for the production pilot and test analysis: Data collection and processing to quickly detect anomalies and provide correction recommendations.
    • 🧠Hardware failure detection and collaboration with R&D: Identification of production defects and efficient communication for rapid adjustments.
    • 📈Process optimization and increased production: Improvements in test time and infrastructure to maximize production cadence without compromising quality.
    • 📍Location: Manaus, Brazil.
  • Redevelopment of an Automated Fuse Box Assembly Press Machine
    • Existing System: LabVIEW-based software integrating PLC and computer control
    • Issue: Machine is operational but fails to meet performance expectations; original supplier unable to deliver improvements
    • AJOLLY Testing’s Solution:
      • ⚙️Development of a new software using DQMH architecture
      • 🧩Focus on modularity, maintainability, and robustness
      • 🔗Optimization of Ethernet/IP communication
      • 🗄️Improved database data handling
      • 🧪Development of a Python-based PLC simulator for Ethernet/IP, replicating real use cases to closely match the production environment. This enables reliable validation, reduces on-site installation time, and increases deployment confidence
      • 🚨Complete redesign of the error handling system, as the previous software reported no errors, which severely hindered diagnostics and maintenance
    • 📍Location: Durango, Mexico.

Activities in 2010

Summary: in 2010, AJOLLY Testing advanced quality supervision and control by integrating technologies like LabVIEW and TestStand. The company developed radar software components, simulated testing environments for qualifications, and a refrigeration system to analyze R134a refrigerant, aiming to optimize thermodynamic efficiency. These initiatives reflect AJOLLY Testing’s commitment to engineering excellence and expertise.


We are pleased to present the key activities and projects that marked our year 2010, reflecting AJOLLY Testing’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence. Our experts, utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as NI’s LabVIEW and TestStand from Emerson, conduct highly precise analyses. Here’s a glimpse of our significant initiatives:

  • Aerospace and defense - Manufacturing - Software Component Development for Radars: Our radar project involved creating sophisticated software components for editing and configuring mathematical models. These models aim to simulate environments for both civilian and military radars, facilitating their testing and qualification. Our applications range from static airport radars to missile-embedded radar systems.
    • Techniques Used: LabVIEW, Visual Studio C++
  • Refrigeration Technology - Refrigeration System for Thermodynamic Study: We developed a refrigeration system specifically for the thermodynamic study of the refrigerant R134a. This project is designed to enhance the understanding of thermodynamic processes and improve the performance of refrigeration systems. 
    • Techniques Used: LabVIEW, Visual Basic, Compact Fieldpoint, DAQ, DIO, RS-422, Modbus

Conference "LabVIEW Embedded Systems for variables monitoring "

Summary: AJOLLY Testing’s recent conference showcased our cutting-edge remote monitoring solutions using National Instruments’ LabVIEW. We demonstrated the power of LabVIEW embedded systems through a live cross-continental interaction, controlling a cooling system in Paris from Mexico. Our session covered the essentials of control, monitoring, and testing, and featured a detailed look at our Paris system’s hardware and software. We also introduced LabVIEW’s capabilities, including shared variables and web server functions, emphasizing our commitment to innovation in industrial and scientific systems. Join us on our blog for insights into our advanced telematics engineering solutions.

Adrien Jolly - (c) François Orsero It was a pleasure to give a conference about industrial and scientific systems of National Instruments during the international conferences in telematics engineering at the Polytechnic University of Durango, Mexico. During one hour I developed the theme of "LabVIEW Embedded systems for the variables monitoring": definition of what are the control, monitoring, simulation, test and measurement, a demonstration of programming with LabVIEW, a live video with my client at the Raspail Institute of Paris in France, to describe a cooling system using components from National Instruments and an embedded LabVIEW software I developed, to demonstrate the capabilities of remote control of the machine installed in Paris from Mexico.
