Have you thought that your test systems are responsible for checking if a product is good or not and monitoring the perhaps most crucial process in your company? The ability to manufacture electronics efficiently and accurately.
Because of this, the ability to distribute test data throughout your organization is crucial. We are not talking about moving test records but fully liberating aggregated test data and relevant performance indicators.
”Almost immediately after adopting WATS we were exposed to the most present weaknesses in our manufacturing test systems. Within the first month of usage, we were able to reduce the failures in our first test run by 50%, significantly reducing the need to retest our products.

WATS acts as a simple but extremely powerful extension of your existing manufacturing test system, allowing business-critical data to be standardized and accessible to those who need it so they can perform their job effectively. And all without you having to spend precious time maintaining that information flow.
The emerging requirement for companies to see aggregated test data is becoming increasingly clear. By leveraging commercial solutions for this data collection and reporting, you avoid the trap of assuming a business intelligence framework for your test systems is a quick and easy development project. Instead, you get the opportunity to use the data to continuously improve and optimize your test systems, how software updates are distributed to them, and how you keep track of their maintenance status.
The detailed test information made available to you in WATS, such as the most frequent failure overview, will help you better control the performance of your existing test systems. Make changes to your test sequencer based on quantitative and qualitative measurement data and meta-data – not gut feelings.
WATS helps you continuously monitor and evaluate process data for your various test steps along with test limits to evaluate how suitable the test limits are. These limits have been frequently designed based on theoretical component specifications and previous knowledge from similar products. And then promptly forgotten. With WATS, you can follow up on these performances at any time and reduce the chances of a faulty unit passing your tests.
