The Siemens Group, a global player in industrial technologies, wanted to enhance the reliability of its testing process for smoke detector production.
A multi-product test bench had already been developed by an external company, but it had major limitations in terms of test repeatability and reproducibility, compromising the quality of product validations.
The main challenges identified were:
Ensuring perfect repeatability of the tests, particularly for suppliers
Designing a scalable and maintainable software architecture
Finding a trusted technical partner, competent and aligned with Siemens’ development methods
Why did Siemens choose GEMESIS?
Its longstanding expertise with NI (National Instruments) products
Its immediate technical understanding of the project’s specific challenges
And a flexible collaboration approach allowing for adjustments and pauses when needed
From the very first discussions, the Siemens team felt they were “speaking the same technical language” as our engineers.

Results achieved
- The test bench is now perfectly repeatable, both from a software and a functional standpoint
- The software architecture has gained clarity, scalability, and robustness
- The test time specifications were met, improving overall performance
- The technical exchanges enabled Siemens to identify several relevant development paths for future evolutions
Client Testimonials
Working with Gemesis ensured that we immediately had a self-sufficient and highly competent person for the requested work, carried out in line with state-of-the-art test bench software development. Bastien’s perspective allowed us not only to stay within the strict framework of the service definition but also to benefit from someone capable of taking a step back and proposing effective improvements.
Gemesis fully met our expectations, and we hope to work together again in the future.
