Automated PIV Data acquisition and post-processing sof

Hardware is only as powerful as the software that controls it. At the heart of every ILA_5150 system lies a flexible software architecture designed to adapt to your specific experimental needs. Whether you require a simple interface for a single Scheimpflug mount or a fully automated process control for complex robotic PIV, we tailor our digital solutions to match your reality.

Key Software Modules:

PIV System Manager: The central hub for hardware integration, synchronization, and automation.
PIVtecILA: High-precision PIV evaluation using the award-winning PIVView core.
Spray Analysis: Dedicated sizing and velocimetry for droplets and sprays.
Hardware control: Each hardware unit has its free of charge software controller.
Custom Control: Bespoke software development to meet specific user requirements and facility constraints.

Tailor-Made Engineering
We understand that no two experiments are identical. That’s why a significant portion of our development is dedicated to custom software solutions. We don’t just sell you a standard package; we program the specific scripts, and interfaces required to integrate our system into your unique facility infrastructure. From small GUI adjustments to full process automation, our software adapts to you, not the other way around.

Relying on too many different software solutions can lead to difficulties in operation and a loss of overview. It prevents the full potential of the collected data from being exploited. Without a unified software solution, there is a risk of data loss and conversion problems. Therefore, it's important to streamline and simplify software usage to achieve optimal results. The problem with freely software is that it is not tailored to your measurement system and data. To fully utilize the potential of the available data, you need an in house expert to develop the software. Maintenance and integration of new hardware components may even require additional resources. These software experts are hard to find, especially in the field of image processing and measurement technology. We are proud to offer our customers tailored solutions based on their unique needs and challenges. Our aim is to provide you with reliable, accurate data and insights to help you make informed decisions that will positively impact your product performance and success. When you build your own system, an in house expert is necessary for system design, commissioning, and maintenance. Components are purchased separately from multiple suppliers resulting in high costs and significant coordination efforts. Integrating various software solutions requires a lot of manual effort, which can lead to mistakes, time consuming processes, and high development costs. Additionally, without an intuitive user interface, users may struggle to effectively navigate and utilize the software. Imagine everything running in a single software environment, eliminating the need for manual integration of various software components. Our software solutions are designed to provide a user friendly interface that's tailored to the specific measurement task at hand, allowing for faster and more accurate data collection. Our automated steps ensure that all software components work seamlessly together, providing a complete solution for the measurement system. Our software software is parallelized, which means faster results and reduced development time. We start with an analysis of your needs and requirements. Afterwards, we create a detailed software concept and specification document that outlines all the necessary features and functionalities. During the development process, we always keep you informed and feedback is integrated. We then deliver the software solution that has been specifically tailored to your requirements. Our experts will guide you through the installation process and provide training to ensure that you can use the software with ease. Support and assistance is available whenever you need it. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us to arrange our first meeting.

Standard PIV & Processing: PIVtecILA

For flow analysis, we rely on the proven power of PIVtecILA, developed in collaboration with PIVTec. Built around the top-rated PIVView cross-correlation core, it offers state-of-the-art vector calculation precision. Combined with our PivUtilsScheduler, it provides an intuitive interface for efficient, high-volume batch processing of your image data.

The Conductor: PIV System Manager

The PIV System Manager is the central nervous system of your experiment. Acting as the "conductor of the PIV orchestra," it seamlessly connects and synchronizes every component: lasers, cameras, lenses, Scheimpflug mounts, robots, traverse systems, and timing units. All individual software modules communicate directly with the System Manager, ensuring that your entire setup operates as a single, cohesive unit. This centralization allows for complex automation sequences, remote monitoring, and fully automated data acquisition.

Specialized Solutions: Spray Analysis

Beyond standard flow velocity measurements, we offer dedicated software for Spray Analysis. Designed for the challenging environment of atomization and injection studies, this tool uses advanced shadowgraphy techniques to detect, size, and track droplets. It delivers critical statistics on droplet diameter, velocity, and distribution, turning complex multiphase images into actionable data.
