Outsource your production with confidence and control!
One of the most critical elements in outsourced production is control. Can you be sure
that quality is in accordance with the expectations? Error situations in produced units
are expensive if not uncovered soon enough.
As an example, it used to take three weeks before critical errors in outsourced
production was identified at Eltek Energy in Norway. Now it happens “on the fly”. How?
They use WATS with their production line test equipment. WATS continuously report
data back “home” to the R&D and QA department.
Virinco have developed WATS (Wide Area Test System), a product that easily
integrates into test equipment on production sites, and report test and production data
to one master server. Reports or warnings are then based on real time data.
WATS provides the decision makers in all parts of the organization easy access to both
real-time and historical data.
