LabVIEW at a Large Scale R&D Facility
summary
Argonne’s METL runs LabVIEW across an ecosystem of over 100 devices, 280 heater zones (capacity 342), and 24/7/365 operation at up to 650°C, using Tag Bus to catalog ~5,000 readonly and ~5,000 read/write tags. Data silos are broken with LabVIEW web services exposing a JSON API, integrated with Active Directory and a VLAN bastion host. Outputs power XR demos (Matterport, HoloLens, MetaQuest), ML/AI prognostics, and CAD/Unreal visualizations that successfully stream live and historical data.
