  • For this project, my client asked me to increase the capacity of their test suites for your after-sales service: going from 500 units daily to 2500 units per day (units here are modems ADSL / VDSL telephone, HPNA, WIFI , WAN, Ethernet and USB.) Using benchmarks aftermarket in this case is to analyse and give a diagnosis to replace defective components and then verify that the repair has solved the problem. Analysis To optimize the test suites in the best way, the analysis is essential to decide what to do I found several factors that limited the ability.: too many […]
  • The projects were exciting for 2012. Anyway I did 160 000 km by plane to see my clients: going a week in a country, 3 weeks in this one, 2 weeks in this city, but in total it is 6 months of business trips to share techniques and friendships (behind the technique there is always the human). This year I enjoyed sharing my experience, working beyond my expertise to give the best to support my clients in difficulties, improving processes at the level of software and hardware and analysing the procedures to propose changes to solve the problems, speak four […]

  • This time, the conference was not about control and measurement with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI or TestStand but on particle accelerators in medicine for the treatment of cancer and especially the applications of synchrotron radiation to observe proteins and different mechanisms operating at the end of active use in future nanotechnology based drugs. Where does the idea of ​​this issue? I play accessory to give synchrotron "Soleil", south of Paris, operated by the CNRS (French National Center of Scientific Research) and the CEA (atomic energy commission) to optimize measurements in a beam line. Conference "Particle accelerator: the future medical lights" during the […]
  • It was a pleasure to give a conference about industrial and scientific systems of National Instruments during the international conferences in telematics engineering at the Polytechnic University of Durango, Mexico.
