Instrument Workflow Software

Manufacturers now have more data to process, analyze, and interpret, making data analytics software a necessity on the manufacturing floor. One automotive electronics manufacturer quickly discovered the importance of analytics software when faced with unexpected challenges.

A common ‘Design for Excellence’ approach in any product design process is the ‘Design for Manufacturing’ which is simply to ensure the products are easier to be manufactured. A significant and important part of this approach is the ‘Design for Manufacturing Test’ concept. A final product that was manufactured but is difficult to test to effectively measure its quality and reliability before shipping out may result in disastrous consequences when these products fail out in the field, especially when the products are used in mission-critical industries such as the automotive industry. In this white paper, we will look into detail of a single but important task that a design engineer needs to do as part of their design workflow. This task is where the engineer will need to decide which components to use and from which vendor in order to achieve the best outcome in terms of manufacturability. Here, we will introduce a concept and use case of ‘Design for Manufacturing Test’ to allow design engineers to focus more on their development.

As your product moves through the product development lifecycle, starting from design and prototyping, to verification and validation, all the way to production tests, are you seeing a disconnect between these teams? Are there multiple back and forth conversations between test teams and re-testing being done due to the discrepancies in test requirements and measurement results? By the time the product reaches the production stage, this disconnected test approach can cause serious organizational issues, including delays in product release, increased test cost, and lower return-on-investment (ROI).Download this white paper and learn how organizations are accelerating their product development lifecycle through a standardized, unified, connected test software across the test teams.

Organizations today face a host of challenges to remain competitive. Their core goal is they want high quality products and services with faster time to market. To achieve that, they must test thoroughly and with effective repeatability. The solution is to be able to increase equipment utilization and automate, an in turn accelerate, everything in the testing process. One essential component of an effective test automation and lab operations solution is the caliber of the REST APIs (representation state transfer application interface) provided as components in the solution. This white paper examines the evolution of REST APIs, provides insight into the state-of-the-art of REST APIs, how they support continuous testing objectives in DevOps, and how they foster comprehensive automatability in testing.
