As data centers scale to meet growing computing demands, power accuracy and equipment reliability matter more than ever. Even small inefficiencies in power usage translate directly into higher costs, and utility providers are not always held accountable for what they bill. This whitepaper covers how G Systems monitoring and control systems give operators real time […]

When developing automated test equipment (ATE), there is a lot to think about. Not only do you need to develop a system that has the required test functionality, but you also need to protect your investment by ensuring your system is designed for longevity and is highly reliable. No one wants to spend precious capital

For high-channel-count test systems, maintaining the system and the data collected can be extremely difficult if you do not have the right tools to simplify and manage the process. Oftentimes, organizations try to cut corners when it comes to managing high-channel-count system configurations because it can take just as much time and resources to develop the

Customers expect products to work properly over their entire lifespan. However, companies would never achieve their time-to-market goals if they had to test their products under normal use over the same time period a typical customer would use the product. Instead, to find these long-term problems quickly, companies must accelerate the normal life span of

While keeping your product design and development in house often makes the most sense, that’s not always the case when developing the test systems for those products. Bringing in a third-party with deep expertise in test system development can offload your team, increase efficiency, and result in a higher-quality end product. Working as a test

Making the decision whether to build your next test system using in-house resources or external contractors can be difficult. In a Build vs. Buy decision, the key drivers are often control and cost. Do you have control over your system at a cost that you can afford? Costs, timelines, and skill levels all come into

In general, most manufacturers focus on improving throughput while cutting test costs. However, there is usually a common misconception that the process to improve throughput can be costly and time consuming. Manufacturers typically assume that to improve throughput, they would need to completely overhaul their existing functional test system design and processes. But this does

When kicking off a test cell software development project, one of your first considerations is likely, “should we build or buy?” Most of the time, COTS software will not meet 100 percent of your requirements, but it may get you most of the way there; that’s why we recommend a hybrid development approach. In this

For highly complex products or large structures, data must be collected from multiple sensors potentially spread over a large area. But moving from a small number of data acquisition channels to a large number of channels is not as simple as just adding more channels. This white paper explores five best practices for designing, testing,
