• Test Floor Efficiency

    Optimizing test floor efficiency is challenged by the wide variety of factors that impact it. These include how well planning does their job, how well test stations perform and how fast personnel can detect and correct abnormal issues. In addition, individual device setups and test programs can be the source of problems.

Our Strength

A fundamental requirement for any efficiency tools to be effective is that you need accurate and timely data from the test stations. Salland has software that can be used either as part of your own proprietary system or as part of a turnkey solution from us.

On-line Monitoring Solutions

Real-time trend monitoring during production can detect problems in your test processes before they cause costly issues. Salland offers a number of on-line solutions that support user-definable alerts and actions.

  • Dynamic Test Cell Controllers monitor both the tester and the prober/handlers on-line. Test cell controllers are the most effective means for maximizing your data integrity and optimizing production throughput.
  • SwifTest-MAX is a software-only solution that runs transparently on your ATEs.
  • TestScape is a modular, highly scalable, enterprise-wide, test data management system. TestScape is an easy-to-use, on-line, web-based system that supports complete yield analysis and real-time monitoring as well optional modules for OEE, SPC and other critical test process improvements. TestScape provides users with a web-based, common view of test data across different brands of testers, different product types and different test floors in near-real-time. Specific applications in the TestScape family for test floor efficiency are shown in the next paragraph.

Test Floor Efficiency Tools
