Case Study: Leading Industrial Machine Manufacturing Company achieves real-time data acquisition and predictive maintenance with Happiest Minds' turnkey DAQ solution

Turnkey Product Development of Data Acquisition System for a Leading Industrial Machine Manufacturer

Happiest Minds partnered with a leading industrial machine manufacturer to develop a turnkey industrial data acquisition system. The client required real‑time data processing with digital and single‑ended/differential analog I/O, PID control for feedback loops, and features for predictive maintenance, remote debugging and data logging.

Happiest Minds delivered a compact solution built around an ARM9 processor with EtherCAT for real‑time communication and an FPGA implementing DAQ and PID logic, handling board and FPGA design, software, regulatory compliance and pilot production. The unified design replaced costly off‑the‑shelf IO and processor modules, enabled predictive maintenance and remote debugging, and protected IP with a proprietary architecture—allowing one platform to serve diverse machines.
