"My
experience with Luisa Valle & Associates began with a need to
automate a complex T&M task, diverse equipment to control
and an engineering team reluctant to invest in requirements
definition. Within a month, the team had
established credibility with the engineering staff and
within 15 months, the entire T&M system was deployed. The
resulting T&M solution was robust, efficient, flexible and
expandable. My engineering team was regularly adding
requirements that took advantage of the flexibility built
into the solution. The
efficiencies we actually achieved and continue to achieve
were well beyond expectations.
Soon thereafter I assumed a role with broader responsibility
and quickly realized I needed a full suite of customer
tools… but there was no one around to make it happen. I
asked Patrick Kelly to come in and
create a customer tools team and to deliver a diverse set of
software-based Customer Tools, wherein several of these
tools had to be implemented in languages other than LabVIEW.
Within six weeks, Patrick had leveraged his network of
software experts and had a team on-board with the required
skills, including: Visual C++, .NET, and COM. Patrick’s team
defined requirements, developed and delivered each of the
tools to a set of very aggressive schedules."

"When
launching a new hi-volume product line of military computers
we knew we could not do "business as usual" and achieve the
delivery rates and cost goals for the program. We called in
LabVIEWexpert.com to help us work through a variety of major
integration issues. Initially we planned only to automate
the testing and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
process. We quickly recognized the expertise that Patrick
and his team brought to the project and expanded the effort
to bring in a paperless manufacturing system with real time,
on-line, management reports for assembly, test and shipping
status. Other features include: reading and printing barcode
labels, training verification at each workstation,
sub-assembly configuration tracking and software
programming.
The end result was a system that has exceeded our
expectations to manage and execute our production process.
The team at LabVIEWexpert.com not only delivered this
functionality, but their work helped us win a "Best Lean
Manufacturing Facility" award from our customer for
consistent on time deliveries and what they saw as a
state-of-the-art Manufacturing capability."

"We hired the team at
LabVIEWexpert when we were in a crunch. We had developed
test software internally, and had two problems. First, the
engineer who wrote the software was changing departments.
Second, the software didn’t have nearly the flexibility that
we were going to need for the future.
The team from LabVIEWexpert began by documenting all of our
requirements and building a functional specification
document. They then wrote the software that we needed to
meet our requirements. What I have been most pleased about
is their ability to handle changing requirements. About half
way through the project, we decided to use this test
software at various sites globally. This meant that a whole
new team of people were involved, with additional
requirements. The team from LabVIEWexpert has really
delivered for us in this situation, and I have been very
pleased by their performance."

"Thank you to
LabVIEWexpert.com for your quick and decisive response to
our software programming needs. We appreciated your candor
and the advice we received from you during your evaluation
of our multichannel process controller with dynamic
feedback. I was very pleased with the programming interface
and flexible script file you provided us within the two day
period allotted for the development of this interface, and
for working with us under the constraints of our limited
grant budget for this project."

"We worked with LabVIEWexpert.com on a
large automation project for our manufacturing floor, tying
sales databases, assembly stations, test stations,
rework/troubleshooting stations, and shipping stations
together. The team from LabVIEWexpert.com consulted us from
a vision into a plan of action. They developed a scalable
software architecture, and managed all software aspects of
the job, including doing most of the integration. They are
an excellent company to work with, and I would not hesitate
to recommend them to any manager needing automated software."

"Product rollout for a new
test instrument was in jeopardy due to continuous delays.
The team at LabVIEWexpert stepped in and provided us with a
concise and detailed project proposal for finishing our
code. In less than 6 weeks they had picked up from what was
done before and delivered working software that was on time
for our product rollout, within budget, and met the
specifications."

"At Hemosaga
Diagnostics Corporation, it has been possible to develop the
first prototype for a new biochemical laboratory instrument,
under budget, and in a shorter time than anticipated, thanks
to Patrick Kelly's LabVIEW programming skills. He listens to
our requirements, learns our jargon, and implements our
control and data analysis software accordingly. He
contributes both design ideas and functional software that
enable us to achieve company goals. Compared with my
experience with other programmers and software development
projects, Patrick has become my first choice for our ongoing
and future LabVIEW programming projects."

"The service provided by
the people at LabVIEW Expert was professional
timely and thorough. The people were user friendly and
responded very well to client suggestions and requests. The
work required stages of planning, program development and
streaming computer coding to match the clients needs. In all
three phases the service was prompt, thorough and very
accommodating. I plan to use Mr. Kelly and his company
for future projects."

"Patrick is an
absolute wizard with LabVIEW! He developed a flexible
architecture for our requirements, wrote driver software to
control our chips, and integrated our T&M equipment to run
extended characterization tests of our UUTs. I would highly
recommend his services to anyone using LabVIEW."

"LabVIEWexpert quickly
completed a project for us where we just didn't have the
in-house expertise. They addressed our concerns promptly and
had no trouble adapting to a few changes along the way. In
fact, the results exceeded our original expectations. Thanks
again."

"We needed
custom software which would serve as a prototype for what
would later become a consumer product. Patrick's skills at
software design and development, as well as project and team
management, were the number one reason why our product was
designed on budget and on time. I have never worked with an
engineer that had as good business and people skills as
Patrick. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for
software design."

"Patrick and his team at
LabVIEWexpert rolled out high quality code on an aggressive
schedule. They were flexible when dealing with our product
development group, and delivered exactly what we asked for -
even when we changed our minds.For our project, it was
important that the form-factor of the VI deliverable be
intuitively useful. We needed to make sure that our VIs
plugged into our customer's test systems, so they could use
our instrument quickly and without hassle. We trusted the
experience of the guys at LabVIEWexpert to deliver the right
thing, the first time."

"Patrick Kelly
has an encyclopedic grasp of LabVIEW -- from its inner
workings to its more arcaneconventions. Patrick has, on a
couple of occasions, saved LabVIEW projects that were begun
by (merely) competent engineers. What's more amazing is that
on one project, after his initial visit, he was able to make
great strides in virtual instrument development without even
setting foot in the lab!...via the internet."
