The same would apply at functional test stations where it is often quite difficult to interface functional test results into quality management systems. The IRWS station provides highly flexible support where functional test parameters can be entered and pass/fail test results can be written into the quality management database. Besides these applications the new QMAN module can also be used to advantage at other points in the manufacturing process e.g. for packaging stations. Before packing or installing an assembly, the serial number can be scanned at the IRWS station the software would check if all tests have been completed with a “pass”. The assembly will not be released for packaging or installation until all necessary tests are confirmed as passed. If any operational step had been missed, the system could indicate which step and, where to reinsert the assembly. The product can be also be easily integrated with systems from other vendors.
