Achieve optimum test results with the benefits of outsourcing
When installed at third-party test subcontractors, Pintail’s technology increases visibility across the supply chain for IDM and fabless companies. As outsourcing of manufacturing continues to expand, these companies require a neutral software vendor to provide a common dashboard to monitor test results across multiple test subcons and multiple brands of test equipment.
Improved visibility supports a number of key benefits for users of test subcontracting services:
Faster issue identification and resolution time
Problems on the test line are caused equally by issues local to the test operator and by issues specific to the chip manufacturer in the test program or material. Both parties benefit when these issues are quickly identified and resolved.
Improved operating efficiency
By resolving issues between the parties faster, subsequent problems can be avoided. This includes losing production scheduling or wasting material and test time.
Improved dependability
Customers of test services have better insight into product flow, yield and quality, helping them to run their businesses more effectively.
"I can see multiple ATEs at multiple subcons in two clicks of the mouse instead of waiting hours or days for off-line analysis to be completed."
