Boule Press Monitoring System
Client: ITT Night Visions
 Project
Summary:
Boule presses at ITT Night Vision operate 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. A system had
to be developed to allow for continuous operation of
all presses with no involvement from an operator. All data had
to be saved across the corporate network in a MS-Access database. Utilizing
LabVIEW with SQL Toolkit. The system was designed
and is currently controlling the presses. The system's only
input from the user is the entry of the sample numbers
using barcode scanners.The system continously monitors
all presses. Once
a press is turned on, the program prompts the user to
scan the barcode from the sample and then monitoring
starts and continues until the press is turned off. Once
the press is turned off, no more data is recorded and
saved.
