Jova Solutions's Software Services team has extensive experience in providing automated test systems for R&D lab and manufacturing environments. These test systems support product R&D, manufacturing and quality assurance. Our expertise spans a variety of industries including biotechnology, consumer electronics, medical equipment, lasers, electro-optics, and telecommunications.

Our services for automated test systems provide:
  • Requirements analysis
  • Test sequencing architecture
  • National Instruments TestStand™ integration
  • Application planning, design and implementation
  • Integration of software and hardware components
  • Network integration
  • Enterprise application integration
  • Web integration
  • Ongoing support

We offer proven expertise in test automation achieved through integrating instrumentation, test step sequencing, data acquisition and analysis. We provide information management through database, web, and enterprise systems integration.

Our custom software expertise includes:
  • Motion control and robotics
  • Process design and optimization
  • Machine vision systems
  • Data management
  • High throughput processing
  • High-speed applications
  • Networked and distributed systems
  • Manufacturing
  • Scientific research and development

Our software systems are are used by test and quality engineers, production technicians, and manufacturing management. They can be designed to allow ease of access to critical information by management in companies with geographically distributed production facilities and large manufacturing networks. Our modular and highly configurable systems scale from research and development labs to pilot plant and manufacturing operations. Our systems can be fully integrated with existing data management systems, enterprise systems, and any legacy hardware or applications.

Benefits of our software include:
  • Increase yield by reducing waste and limiting manual operations
  • Integrate data from diverse sources into a unified software interface
  • Operators can quickly determine equipment and product status
  • Legacy system integration
  • Integration of Manufacturing Enterprise Systems
  • Enterprise data reporting and management

Our test systems can control all testing, data analysis and data archiving operations. Our systems can also exceed simple Pass/Fail testing to offer in depth qualitative and quantitative data that can be used for detailed SPC analysis; enabling our customers to continually optimize their manufacturing processes.  

Our systems can monitor process and product characteristics, monitor product tolerances, archive process data, and alert personnel to alarm conditions. In addition, remote diagnostics and monitoring, production control, recipe management, SPC Pareto analysis, scripting, sequencing, data management, data archiving and distribution can all be performed using our software. User-friendly, graphical interfaces allow clients to configure data views, perform analysis, gain access to historical data and generate reports.

We can provide web interfaces allowing users to remotely monitor or control test systems and manufacturing processes in real-time.

Examples of automated test system functionality include:
  • Sensors and signal processing
  • Machine Vision and automated inspection systems
  • Automated test sequencing
  • National Instrument's TestStand™ integration
  • Specialized recipe management
  • Batch processing and control
  • Statistical Process Control (SPC) data analysis
  • Data and event logging
  • Alarm management
  • Component, functional, and system level testing
  • Manufacturing and quality assurance test and inspection
  • Product qualification, reliability, and life-cycle testing
  • Customized barcode tracking
  • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
  • Database integration
  • Historical trending analysis
  • Web interfaces

Systems support and standards

  • Complete integration with PLC's, multiple types of controllers and other process and test Instrumentation
  • Distributed I/O and industrial networks including DeviceNet, CAN Bus, Foundation Fieldbus
  • Network interfaces including TCP/IP, GPIB, RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485
  • Database connectivity (SQL, Oracle,...)
  • OPC support
  • Interfacing to products such as Microsoft Excel, Word or Access
 
 

Recent Projects

 
  The following case studies give an idea of the range of projects Jova Solutions has recently completed:  
 
   
Automated functional testers for a DSL modem manufacturer for high-throughput manufacturing. This tester utilized a custom sequencing engine and provided connectivity to RMA call center information from a PeopleSoft ERP system.
A High Voltage flash tube characterization and life test for an aerospace laser initiation system.
A production tester for airbag initiators. The system included visual as well as electronic testing to verify functional conformance and reliability standards.
Functional testing of OC3 telecommunication equipment components and full systems.
Automated an entire factory's production lines for producing heat shrink tubing. This project integrated PLC control and monitoring. Featured SPC, and recipe and data management.
   
Automated test systems for a variety of consumer digital imaging products for a major OEM company
