STC100 Hardware and Software Consulting

STC100 provides 100% quality control assurance by detecting micro-leaks in seconds across the most critical sectors, from medical to automotive, using high-precision absolute pressure drop measurement technology with 0.001 mbar (0.1 Pa) accuracy.

Client

Aartech Automation is an engineering firm based in Bursa, specializing in high-tech industrial automation, robotics, and Industry 4.0-compliant system integration solutions.

Challenge

Micro-Scale Signal Integrity:

Protection with 0.001 mbar resolution in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) originating from industrial motors.

Reference Voltage Stability:

Loss of accuracy during long test cycles due to voltage reference fluctuations at the analog front end.

High-Speed Pneumatic Control:

Manage the transition between the filling, stabilization, and testing stages with microsecond precision to prevent pressure fluctuations.

Synchronization:

Synchronize high-speed test data with factory ERP systems without compromising measurement performance.

Solution

Advanced Hardware Filtering:

Designed a multi-layer PCB with advanced isolated analog ground planes and implemented a 24-bit ADC integration with active digital noise reduction. Hardware Filtering:

Ultra Low Latency Architecture:

High-precision, low-drift voltage references and differential signal routing were implemented to ensure long-term measurement repeatability.

Real-Time Cutting Architecture:

He developed a deterministic hardware software structure in C language that runs pneumatic valve control cycles with a delay time of less than a millisecond for perfect timing.

Asynchronous Communication Layer:

Developed an isolated Profinet/Ethernet communication stack that performs data logging and remote monitoring in the background, providing zero CPU latency for the main test cycle.

Result

10x superior measurement stability: By integrating 10 times superior 24-bit ADCs and advanced digital filtering, we eliminated signal noise caused by industrial EMI and achieved an uncompromising resolution of 0.001 mbar across all test cycles.

15% Faster Test Cycles: Deterministic, cut-focused product software architecture provides microsecond-level synchronization between filling, stabilization, and testing stages, ensuring perfect repeatable results while reducing overall testing time.

No CPU Delay During ERP Synchronization: Asynchronous, isolated Profinet/Ethernet communication layer enables real-time data flow and remote monitoring without affecting the timing or performance of the core test cycle.

Project Delivered Within 6 Months: Our end-to-end, comprehensive engineering approach accelerated the development process, enabling us to deliver a market-ready industrial hardware and software platform within tight timelines.

Reduction in Customer RMA Costs: By ensuring extreme measurement accuracy and eliminating false positive leak results due to signal drift, we significantly reduced warranty return costs and strengthened brand reputation.
