Why it matters

What it saves you

Building test station software from scratch, and the mistakes that cost yield in the first production runs.

Test software from scratch

Every product rebuilds test, flashing and provisioning tools.

Yield problems found late

Without data, yield issues appear after the first batches ship.

Hard to replicate

Moving production to another line or EMS means starting over.

What you get

How it speeds up your product

SMT, FATP, aging, per-unit reports and real-time remote monitoring already exist; you define your product’s test cases.

Less risk from day one

The hard parts already run in production in our own devices, so your project doesn't carry their technical risk.

Costs less than starting from scratch

The project covers adapting a proven foundation to your product, which costs less than building that layer from zero. Your budget goes into your features, not infrastructure.

Months sooner to market

We adapt a proven foundation to your product, so field-ready devices ship sooner.

Yours to use commercially

A one-off licence for your product comes with the project.

Test flow

From bare board to shipped product

Four stages, each with its own tests and records. These videos are from LaMetric SKY production.

1. SMT tests for PCBs

Each board is clamped in a test fixture after SMT assembly and the test app runs its checks. For the SKY motherboard these include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microphone, RGB LED, keys, SPI NAND and RS485 ports.

2. FATP tests for finished devices

The operator scans each assembled product and the test app checks it. Here every SKY panel lights up in each colour. The last FATP step is a weight check of the packed product.

3. Aging

Finished products run in an aging rack, cycling through colours, before they reach customers.

4. Reports

Every unit gets its own report: result per test suite and per test, the test log, part connection and repair logs, the components on the PCB and the diagnostics version.
What's included

What it is

One framework for every test stage on the line, from bare board to packed product, with a record for every unit.

SMT tests for PCBs

Boards are tested in a fixture after assembly: radios, audio, LEDs, keys, memory and interfaces, each with a pass or fail.

FATP tests for finished devices

The operator scans each assembled product and the test app checks every function.

Packed-weight check

The last FATP step: the packed product is weighed and checked before it ships.

Aging

Finished products run in an aging rack before they reach customers.

Reports and traceability

A report for every unit: per-test results, test log, part connection and repair logs, and the components on the board.

Real-time remote monitoring

Track production tests live from your HQ, wherever the factory is: pass rates, failures and per-unit reports as they happen.

Flashing and provisioning

Firmware flashing and device provisioning as part of the same flow.

How it works

How we adapt it to your product

The same framework, set up for your product and your line.

1. Map your test plan

We define the SMT, FATP and aging checks for your product.

2. Adapt the framework

Test apps and fixtures for each stage, built on the framework we use for LaMetric.

3. Bring up the line

Stations go live at your factory or EMS, with documentation and operator training.

4. Track every unit

Reports and logs per unit, so you can trace and fix issues.

Demo

Last FATP step: packed-weight check

The packed product is weighed and the weight-check app confirms it before it ships.
