Measurement & Automation

At the heart of many of our projects is a need to measure something in the real world quickly, accurately, and reliably. DSA helps clients select the correct signal conditioning, acquisition, and computer equipment to accomplish the measurement. We write the code to calibrate, coordinate, and record the measurements whether it is on a computer, programmable logic controller, real-time system, or field-programmable gate array (FPGA). We implement the analysis needed by the client and design the user interface to display the results of the analysis clearly to the operator.

Each project has its requirements that dictate the best solution, and DSA provides guidance and manpower to achieve that solution.

Quality Control & Automated Test

Quality control & automated test systems are used to consistently measure, analyze, report and archive product performance characteristics.

Process Control & Industrial Automation

Advanced Process Control & Industrial Automation systems are used extensively to consistently measure, archive, and control process performance characteristics.

Data Acquisition & Instrumentation

These systems consist of hardware, signals, and software, such as: sensors/actuators/transducers, analog & digital signals, signal conditioning components, data acquisition devices, and more.

Vision Systems & Motion Control

Vision systems allow manufacturers to receive a constant stream of information by capturing images of specific manufacturing processes and functions.

Wireless & Remote Operation

The control and monitoring of machines and processes from a distance, enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and safety, and enabling real-time analysis for optimization.

Mechatronics & Machines

Beyond measuring the real world, production systems must often manipulate the real world.  Robots, motors, and actuators can accomplish the manipulation, but usually require customization of both the mechanical interface to the real world (mounting and gripping) and the driving computer code. DSA can provide the expertise to achieve fast, reliable movements that speed a repetitive process and relieve workers from the drudgery of placing and re-placing components.

Enterprise & Integration

At the enterprise level, data from diverse sectors of a factory and an ever-expanding industrial internet of things (IIoT) must be integrated together and presented in ways to assist with system decisions like scheduling, maintenance, and upgrades. DSA’s database skills, data visualization, and machine learning methods help deliver meaningful information to managers and owners alike, and can deliver it to the factory floor, the management suite, or across the internet.

System upgrades are necessary when older equipment gets difficult to replace, or when security requirements necessitate changing operating systems. DSA can help specify the needed changes and make sure any old data is accessible in a new visualization system.

Consulting & Training

Since opening our first of four NI Certified Training Centers in 1996, DSA has established itself as a leader in LabVIEW automation and software training programs. We’ve had the privilege of educating many of the world’s leading companies, and nearly 10,000 students, over that period of time, in National Instruments and other vendor’s products.  And we commonly earn the feedback that “having experts at LabVIEW systems integration teach the classes creates a much more valuable experience than if taught by a novice.”

With the rise in Internet resources, on-line options, and channel conflicts, the technical training market has changed over the past several years, and WE ARE CHANGING WITH IT. DSA has just remodeled our offices and training facility (come visit us!), and we are using this opportunity to re-model our educational offerings to better align with customer demand and course interests. DSA will continue to offer professional, instructor-led training programs in a group setting for high-demand courses at our dedicated, and recently renovated, learning facilities.
