APPLETON, WI – Contract manufacturer Surface Mount Technology Corp. today announced the release of its proprietary SMART Platform.
 
Scalable Modular Automated Reusable Test is said to be a means for testing low- to mid-volume PCB assemblies without high tooling costs.
 
The platform consists of a set of commercial off-the-shelf USB-based instrumentation, as well as standard software drivers. To develop a test for any assembly, a fixture is developed from a standard fixture kit that interfaces to the SMART platform through a standard set of connectors. The fixture provides probing to the unit under test and connectivity to the instruments in the platform.
 
A test program is created using software libraries that provide an efficient test development environment. The libraries have support for standard tests, user interface development, report generation, troubleshooting and fixture maintenance, and interfacing to data collection facilities for statistical process control.
