  7. Production test workflows

    A station is only as good as the workflow around it: incoming inspection, ICT integration, functional test, programming, calibration and final acceptance.

    • End-to-end production test workflow design
    • Test procedure documentation and operator training
    • Yield tracking, SPC and failure analysis processes
    • First Article Inspection (FAI) support
    • Test coverage analysis and gap remediation

The instruments the stations are built on.

GSAS integrates instruments into production workflows rather than shipping boxes. Specifications below come from each product page; every instrument is available with application engineering support from GSAS in India.

04

Three ways to start, depending on where the test sits.

A design lab, a production line and a power electronics programme each start with GSAS differently. Pick yours.

  1. 01

    R&D and validation labs

    Design, bring-up and validation benches

    Benches for the engineers designing the product: power profiling down to nanoamps, protocol analysis on I2C, SPI and USB, and oscilloscopes under script control, each with application engineering support from GSAS in India.

  2. 02

    Production lines

    Incoming inspection to final test

    Turnkey test stations and programming lines on the factory floor: sequencers and operator UI, flash programming at volume, MES integration and serial number injection, with documented procedures, operator training and yield tracking.

  3. 03

    Power electronics programmes

    EV, energy storage, PV inverters, motor drives

    Regenerative bidirectional DC benches for battery, BMS, PV-inverter and motor-drive work, from 5 kW per 3U chassis to 300 kW in parallel, configured to the device under test and installed and calibrated locally.

Test and measurement work with GSAS in India

What does GSAS build in test and measurement?

Automated production test stations, flash programming lines, power profiling setups, regenerative power electronics benches, protocol analysis and oscilloscope automation, built on instruments GSAS supplies and supports in India, with the test workflow, documentation and operator training around them.

Which instruments can a GSAS test station control?

Instruments with SCPI, VISA or a vendor API. The stations GSAS builds typically use the lines it supports: GW Instek and Pico Technology oscilloscopes, Joulescope energy analyzers, Total Phase protocol analyzers, and SEGGER, ProMik and Xeltek programmers.

Can test and programming stations report into our MES?

Yes. GSAS integrates stations with MES systems, including serial number injection, pass/fail logging and traceability. ProMik FlashTask Pro, the production software for ProMik programmers, offers a REST API and built-in SQL traceability for this.

How do you measure sleep current and battery life?

With a DC energy analyzer such as the Joulescope JS320 (0.1 nA resolution, ±3 A continuous and 10 A pulses), correlated with firmware execution on a PicoScope. GSAS profiles sleep and wake transitions and peripheral current, tunes power modes, and estimates and validates battery life.

What power levels do the regenerative DC benches cover?

The GW Instek RBS Series runs 5 kW to 30 kW per 3U chassis across voltage classes from 100 V to 2250 V, up to ±510 A per unit, and up to 300 kW with ten units in master-slave parallel. GSAS configures, installs and calibrates these benches locally.

Where is support based?

Engineering is led from Bengaluru, with GSAS offices across India, so installation, application engineering and support run in the same time zone as your lab or line.

Automotive Ethernet Construction & Mining

High Speed ISOBUS Prefers 1000BASE-T1. Now What?

Agriculture is converging on an Ethernet future, with one preferred physical layer, because an implement from one maker has to plug into a tractor from another. Construction never had that forcing function, and the standard it does not have is a working condition.
