BACKGROUND
Our customer had won several orders for an updated version of its legacy product. The test systems from the previous development stage were outdated and suffered from issues such as slow speeds, reliability and safety.
ACTIVITIES
- Working closely with the customer to finalise the test equipment specification for evolving product
- Using ATEC DynaSeries developed by Spherea as a core of the new production test bench. 11 bespoke power supplies and the power rack were provided by another Spherea company, Puissance Plus. System was delivered to Spherea UK for commissioning.
- 8 Test program sets, testing the main unit and each card separately.
- Bespoke design of the harnesses and card holders
- Strong programme management led my the UK, working closely with Spherea France, Puissance Plus and the Customer
ACHIEVEMENTS
- Reduced costs due to reuse of existing building blocks (ATEC DynaSeries rack and Power supplies)
- Our ATEC DynaSeries provides state of the art technology in response to high production rates – the test time of each unit was reduced by half and the set up times reduced to 5 minutes.
- Long term support contract in UK and France to guarantee system availability and supporting the upgrades of the equipment.
