An Australian paper manufacturer needed to upgrade its paper scanning equipment to increase production speed and quality. The existing computer solution that managed the scanning processes was near the end of its product life and under-powered. Additionally, the company wanted to increase the amount of data collection points for better quality control. After evaluating several alternatives from multiple vendors, the customer selected a complete Diamond Systems implementation, consisting of the Athena III SBC with the existing DMM-32DX-AT analog I/O module, all housed in the compact Pandora enclosure.

An automotive equipment manufacturer has recently introduced a precision industrial automation tool that reliably and efficiently drives fasteners (nuts and bolts) during the high speed, automated production of automobiles. A key feature of the fastener tool is the flexibility to be configured for single spindle operation, one nut at a time, or multiple spindle operation, for example installing a wheel in one single motion. The fastener torque tool also captures and reports detailed production data including at the vehicles assembly level for quality validation and manufacturing history.

For over 10 years, Diamond had been supplying an assembly-line automation tools manufacturer with thousands of its Opal PC/104 modules for use in a fastening controller. When changes to the customer's design called for some new features, Diamond created and supplied a modified version of the Opal board to satisfy this customer's requirements. This is a good example of Diamond's customization services program in action.
