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 2019

Summary: developed verification systems for silver ingots, integrating hardware with National Instruments vision and LabVIEW. Established WiFi testers for DSL modem repair, incorporating RF test probes and TestStand. Integrated measurement instruments for cosmetology clinical analysis. Created electronic card testers for coffee machines and supported GPON fiber modem production with TestStand.


The year 2019 was a dynamic period of innovation and technological advancement. Our team focused on developing sophisticated systems and solutions that enhanced quality control, testing, and production efficiency. We integrated state-of-the-art hardware and software to verify the authenticity of silver ingots, and we revolutionized the repair process for DSL modems with advanced WiFi testing capabilities.

Our commitment to precision and excellence led us to integrate measurement instruments for cosmetology, ensuring the highest standards in clinical skin analysis. We also tailored electronic card testers for coffee machines, demonstrating our versatility and customer-centric approach. Additionally, we bolstered the production line of GPON fiber modems with robust testing support, underpinning our dedication to delivering reliable and cutting-edge solutions. Each project in 2019 was a step towards redefining industry benchmarks and reinforcing our leadership in the field:

  • Metallurgy - Verification of identification engraving on silver ingots: hardware integration and development of a verification system for identifiers engraved on 30 kg silver ingots in a foundry. This tester is based on National Instruments vision for cameras and LabVIEW communicating with PLCs.
  • Consumer Electronics and Telecommunications - WiFi tester for DSL modem repair center: hardware integration and software development for testing modem PCBA cards under repair, with SMA cables, RF test probes, vector generator / analyzer, and TestStand.
  • Life Sciences and Healthcare Technology - Integration of measurement instruments for clinical skin analysis for cosmetology based on LabVIEW.
  • Consumer Electronics and Telecommunications - Electronic card tester for coffee machine: development of the test sequencer and instruments drivers for integration with a test bench manufactured by the customer. The solution is based on LabVIEW and TestStand.
  • Consumer Electronics and Telecommunications - Support GPON fiber modem production line testers based on National Instruments TestStand

Activities in 2012

Summary test benches for residential gateway production. Our expertise includes Litepoint, TestStand, and LabWindows/CVI. We install production lines, optimize testing procedures to reduce cycle time, and increase capacity. Additionally, we provide NPI support and offer both traveling and remote support for issue identification, pre-correction, and optimization analysis. Our training services cover LabVIEW, TestStand, and LabWindows/CVI. Furthermore, we’ve developed a measurement system for the cosmetic industry using LabVIEW. Lastly, we validate communication protocols for PLC production.


As AJOLLY testing company, we found the projects in 2012 to be incredibly stimulating. Despite the extensive travel, covering 160,000 km by plane to visit our clients, the time spent was invaluable. We dedicated a week here, three weeks there, and two weeks in another city, totaling six months of business trips. These journeys were not just about sharing techniques but also about fostering friendships, as we believe that behind every technique, there’s a human connection.

This year, we reveled in the opportunity to share our collective experience, going above and beyond our expertise to provide the best support to our clients facing challenges. We focused on enhancing both software and hardware processes and meticulously analyzed procedures to recommend effective solutions. Our ability to communicate in four languages—English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish—in a single session enriched our meeting sessions, allowing us to share our experiences more broadly.

Summary of 2012:
  • Consumer Electronics and Telecommunications - test bench development for residential gateways production:
    • Conducting WiFi testing and calibration along with functional DSL test, phone (FXS), USB, and WiFi radio tests to check the antennas, is crucial for ensuring device quality and performance. Additionally, Ethernet connectivity tests and data customization, including SSID, password, MAC addresses, and serial numbers, are critical procedures preceding the final quality test, ensuring that each unit is ready to meet the specific needs of the end-users.
