Automation and Real-Time Data Integration for Magnetic Field Testing in Magmeter Manufacturing

This paper described the design and testing of a semi-automated magnetic field data logging system built around the BGM101 Gaussmeter and LabVIEW. The core contribution is the integration of a proprietary DLL-based instrument interface with a relational database backend — a combination not widely reported in existing literature for this class of instrument.   Experimental runs confirmed one-second logging intervals, zero communication failures during testing, and DC mean values stable in the 0.000919 T to 0.000922 T range under consistent field conditions. The MySQL database accumulated records with accurate timestamps throughout, validating the end-to-end data path from instrument probe to stored record.   Future work will extend the system to include threshold-based pass/fail logic directly in the LabVIEW VI, automated report generation from the MySQL data, and full deployment of the React operator dashboard on the production floor at Krohne Marshall Pvt. Ltd.
