Universal Test and Control PlatformSoftware-Driven Automated Test and Validation for Intelligent Manufacturing

What Is the Universal Test and Control Platform?

Universal Test and Control is an integrated automated test and validation system designed for complex manufacturing environments. It combines configurable I/O hardware, universal interface architecture, and workflow-driven software to create a standardized, repeatable test platform. Unlike traditional custom test stands that require unique wiring, fixtures, and engineering effort for each product, it adapts through software configuration rather than hardware redesign. The result is faster deployment, simplified changeovers, and consistent quality enforcement across product families.

Why Do Manufacturers Need a Universal Test System?

As equipment becomes more electronically complex — with embedded controllers, CAN networks, sensors, and programmable logic — testing complexity increases exponentially. Traditional approaches create common challenges:

• Custom fixtures and PCBs for each product
• Long engineering cycles for new launches
• Hours-long product changeovers
• Manual checklist gaps leading to quality escapes
• Limited traceability of test results
• Heavy reliance on tribal knowledge

These constraints slow production, increase risk, and limit scalability. Universal Test and Control replaces fragmented test environments with a unified, software-defined validation platform.

How Does Universal Test and Control Improve Quality and Throughput?

Universal Test and Control embeds automated verification and guided workflows directly into the factory floor. Operators follow structured digital steps while the system captures measurements, evaluates pass/fail conditions in real time, and stores unit-level evidence. Manufacturers using the platform achieve:

• Faster changeovers — minutes instead of hours
• Reduced engineering time for new product launches
• Improved first-pass yield
• Automated defect detection at the step level
• Full traceability of every tested unit
• Standardized testing across global facilities

How Universal Test and Control Works

Engineers configure workflows centrally. Operators execute guided steps locally. Leadership gains complete test visibility across operations.

What Can Universal Test and Control Test?

• Voltage, current, and resistance measurement
• Sensor validation and load control
• CAN bus diagnostics and controller verification
• ECU programming and error code management
• PLC and industrial communication validation
• Wireless sensor and network testing

From simple electrical checks to complex controller diagnostics, Universal Test and Control scales with product complexity.

Built for Scalability and Standardization

Universal Test and Control is designed to scale from single test cells to global standardization across facilities. Modular expansion supports increasing I/O demands, while software configuration enables rapid adaptation to new product variants. Instead of building a new test system for every product, manufacturers deploy one universal platform and scale through configuration.
