The Wired-in Story
Wired-in Software are a Test Systems manufacturer and Software development company based in Melbourne, Australia.
In 2013, Wired-in Software was founded by experienced systems integration engineer and Certified LabVIEW Architect Chris Farmer. His vision was founded upon a desire to produce world-class, intelligent test and measurement solutions that would help local manufacturers improve their efficiency, performance and productivity – helping them stay competitive in the global market.
Wired-in Software joined the NI Alliance Partner program from inception. Our development projects include a range of technologies and applications. We have become highly proficient working within the NI ecosystem, working extensively with USB DAQ, cDAQ, cRIO, FlexRIO, PCI and PXI based hardware, and using the LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, LabVIEW FPGA, Vision, TestStand, and Veristand development tools.
Come 2016, Wired-in Software started using the DQMH framework for all of our LabVIEW development, giving us a step jump in improvement of our software output. We worked with Delacor to refine our DQMH approach.
Then in 2018, our commitment and dedication to improving our DQMH development was rewarded with becoming a DQMH Trusted Advisor.
In 2020, Wired-in Software got our first office in Mont Albert North, Victoria, Australia. At this point in time there was only three staff including Chris. Later in the year, we created the DQMH Podcast.
A year later in 2021, Wired-in Software progressed from being a purely software focused company to delivering turnkey automated test systems, and have now included mechatronic and industrial engineering capability to our offerings. During this time, Chris was introduced into the esteemed LabVIEW Champions group, in recognition of his contribution to the LabVIEW community.
In mid 2022, Wired-in Software started using the Bloomy EFT™ Module For TestStand for our automated test equipment solutions. Shortly after we became an authorised seller of this tool for customers in Australia and New Zealand, and we are now listed in the Bloomy partners page.
In Feb 2023, we moved to our larger offices in Mitcham, Victoria, Australia, which was good timing as we needed to increase our staff number to keep up with demand.
As of mid 2024, Wired-in Software has 9 staff, and up to 4 regular sub-contractors, with customers in Australia, New Zealand and USA. Our team is delivering robust, intuitive LabVIEW applications to the Manufacturing, Scientific, Testing Services, and Automotive industries (among others), to help them collect their test data accurately and efficiently so they can make informed and fast decisions about their products. In addition, we are building automated test systems for product designers and manufacturers that help improve production efficiency and product quality.
