The Problem

What the plant was facing

The OEM was running valve qualification tests manually with analog gauges and paper records. Test consistency depended on the operator, and generating per-valve test certificates for customers was a full day of clerical work.

Our Solution

What we engineered

  • LabVIEW-based test sequencer with hydro, pneumatic and leak modes
  • NI DAQ for pressure, flow and displacement acquisition
  • PLC-driven pneumatic clamping and safety interlocks
  • PDF certificate auto-generation per test with graphs and pass/fail
  • SQL archive keyed by valve serial number
