Case Study: Sagemcom Tunisia boosts production efficiency with National Instruments CompactRIO

Automation of a Robotized Production Cell Through CompactRIO

Sagemcom Tunisia, a telecommunications and energy company, was challenged to develop a new, robust test bench for its smart meter production. The company needed a solution that could interface with robotics and automation devices to increase production volume, ensure a 99% line fluidity rate, and overcome the reliability issues of their previous PC-based testing architecture.

National Instruments provided a solution based on their CompactRIO platform programmed with LabVIEW. This system offered the computation power, industrial protocol support, and vision capabilities needed to automate the robotic cell and perform precise, synchronized testing. The results included a 21-second reduction in test time, a 17% productivity growth, a 50% savings on controller costs, and a 38% acceleration in vision inspection speed.
