Services
Automated Test Systems
Our automated test systems deliver high-performance validation for complex electronic components across aerospace, defence, and industrial applications. Utilising PXI platforms and LabVIEW software, these systems ensure rapid, accurate testing while reducing operational costs. Clients benefit from scalable solutions that improve first-pass yield and streamline production workflows.
Test Fixtures
We design precision test fixtures compatible with industry standards like MAC-Panel and Virginia Panel systems. These fixtures ensure reliable connectivity and repeatability for high-channel-count applications. Our solutions reduce setup times and improve test accuracy for clients manufacturing complex electronic assemblies.
Software Development
Our LabVIEW-certified developers create custom test automation software tailored to specific production requirements. Integrating with TestStand and PXI hardware, these solutions optimise test execution speed and data management. Clients gain intuitive interfaces and scalable architectures for long-term adaptability.
Project Management
PRINCE2-qualified managers oversee test system development from requirements gathering to final commissioning. We coordinate milestone reviews and documentation to ensure on-time delivery. Clients receive transparent progress tracking and risk mitigation throughout the project lifecycle.
Support Contracts
We offer flexible support packages including preventative maintenance, obsolescence reporting, and rapid-response repairs. Our contracts ensure system uptime with global service availability. Clients benefit from extended warranties and technical expertise to maximise equipment longevity.
