National Instruments

Since 2012 we have been National Instruments' alliance partner and in 2013 we won the 1st prize at the Engineering Impact Awards 2013 as the best measurement and automation application in Italy.

Alma Automotive has been pursuing a long term LabVIEW certification program, by covering all three levels of expertise, from the entry level LabVIEW Associate Developer to the more experienced LabVIEW Architect.

Alma Automotive has what it takes to deliver complete solutions using NI products. From system design and architecture to coding, optimization, integration of third-party software and hardware, and deployment, we can tailor each system to meet costumer’s specific needs.

UniBo Motorsport

UniBo Motorsport is the Formula SAE Team of University of Bologna. The Formula SAE® is an innovative racing competition where university students from all over the world challenge each other in the design, production and put on track of a formula-style car.

Our collaboration started in 2010, when UniBo Motorsport took its first step in the Formula SAE® series, with something that no team had ever done before: an engine control system designed from scratch and implemented on a NI Compact RIO. From 2011 on, UniBo Motorsport, supported by Alma Automotive, has developed its ECU year after year, until 2014, when the team developed a new ECU based on NI Single-Board RIO platforms, a reliable product with excellent performance. Thanks to this new ECU, impressive results in the most challenging Formula SAE competitions have been achieved, receiving remarkable feedback from technical judges from all over the world.
