What is WATS?

Liberate your Test Data

The WATS Test Data Management (TDM) platform helps you put all of your Manufacturing and RMA Test and Repair Data to work. Any structure, format or source of the data, WATS lets you see your data as one. In real-time, directly in your web browser. This allows for an unrivalled ability to transform your data into actionable insight through statistical and qualitative analysis.

Your test and repair data holds real stories about electronics design flaws, manufacturing weaknesses, waste, quality issues, operator mishandling and much, much more — stories about lost profits. But without unrestricted access to your test and repair data, these stories can never be told.

WATS Test Data Management is the foundation for Continuous Improvement for any serious electronics design and manufacturing company.

Fast Response Time – from Problem to Resolution

Using WATS is more than reports showing your data. It also represents a simple approach to help you find problems and solve them as quickly as possible. Go from top-level yield calculations down to the details in just a few clicks.

1. Prioritize

Use statistics to understand your largest sources of poor test performance. WATS quickly helps you break down aggregated performance metrics by areas such as products, revisions, test stations, periods and test processes. This helps make sure that you spend your time on your actual problems.

2. Analyze

Access your most frequent test failures inside any of these categories, with the click of a few buttons.

3. Understand

Make sure that the raw data you spend time on has the absolute highest relevance and severity. WATS gives you easy access to historical trends of measurements, to help you form opinions of the root causes of their failures.

Global Control

WATS does not only help you understand your test data. It also provides advanced capabilities to get proactive control of your manufacturing. Centralize your test software and unit-firmware distribution with granular control based on products, revisions and locations. Get full control of the distribution of MAC and serial numbers, so that no value gets mistakenly duplicated. Proactively track and monitor the detailed maintenance status of all your instruments and test interfaces, and avoid loss of performance. And finally, implement advanced alarming and notifications based on the collected test data, to allow for early interventions.

Continuous Improvement

Our philosophy is that actively looking for problems in your data is not sustainable, and as a rule of thumb, you need to be presented the indicators of problems as they happen. Either through dashboards or automated notifications. And you need to be able to drill down from your relevant high-level KPIs to any of the influencing categories and compare the performance of the associated elements against each other. Such as comparing the performance of individual test stations, individual product revisions or different test sequence versions.
