Test Automation

To ensure that engineered products are successfully assembled, we deploy test automation for manufacturing reliability, configuration accuracy, and much more. Our comprehensive process applies the proper specifications, limits, process flow, and timing to ensure consistency, automated data collection, reliable operation, and optimized test throughput.
