Content Inside: Customer Solutions by Shahzad Sarwar Director Industrial and Real-Time Solutions Averna Technologies Inc. The Challenge: Implementing an automated and distributed production control and quality testing system to manage a range of new products assembled and tested at different contract manufacturer sites. The Solution: Integrating Averna's Proligent a production management and testing system National Instruments TestStand and LabVIEW and written test cases with an MS-SQL database to achieve a cost-effective and timely implementation of a highly reliable and functional production and quality testing system. System Requirements Our customer's new product line was targeted to produce large numbers of networking hardware boards that require a flexible reliable and traceable quality testing setup. The customer needed to centrally manage the product flow test criteria and results version and revision specific test procedures and several other operational details all for a set of distributed product lines located at different and remote contract manufacturer sites. Our customer also needed to maintain all test specifications procedure sequences and results in a traceable fashion and they needed different levels of access to interact with managerial engineering or operational parts of the production and testing system. An open architecture and flexible test code development environment successfully integrated an extensive range of hardware including power supplies oscilloscopes signal generators optical switches flash programmers and a close interface to work with self-testing features of the products using RS-232 GPIB and JTAG protocols. System Design Proligent provides a close parallelism between real-life production and quality testing steps with extensive features for production management and testing so the user can create new products define production process and specify process operations. These engineering tools have extensive editing capabilities to e ...
