Test every unit automatically, and keep a record for each one.

You are shipping boards and cannot yet prove the next hundred work.

A bench script that worked for the engineer who wrote it does not carry over to a production line, and a returned unit with no test record is a long argument. You need a fixture a board drops into, a test nobody has to interpret, and a log you can look up by serial number.

• Fixture hardware A pogo-pin or bed-of-nails fixture with swappable fixture boards, its mechanics designed and built here, and its design files.
• Test firmware and station software The code on the board and the program that runs the whole sequence, pass or fail against limits, with no manual steps.
• Automatic checks Power, current, and sleep-current limits are checked, and every indicator verified by camera, instead of an operator’s eye.
• Key testing for overlays For products with a membrane switch overlay, every key is pressed and read.
• Serialization and logs Each unit gets a serial number and its results are logged as CSV or JSON, a per-serial record for returns and audits.
• A written test spec The limits written down, so a pass means the same thing on every day and for every operator.

1. 01 Tell us what must be verified Send the board or its design files, what the test has to check, how many units you expect and whether they need serial numbers.
2. 02 Design the fixture and the test We choose test points and probes, design the fixture and write the test firmware and station software.
3. 03 Build and prove it We build the fixture and prove it on real boards until the limits are right.
4. 04 Run it We run it here on boards we assemble, or hand it to your own floor, as your quote lists.

Our own fixtures and our own station.
