Customer
The customer is a global leader in the Cardiac Rhythm Management
area and was planning to build a custom modular test platform
for one of its flagship CRM products. The objective was also to
avoid the need of using complex instrumentation setup like Logic
Analyzers and DSOs while testing. One of the other important
design objectives was to have the test system auto-calibrate
itself.
Agiliad
Solution
The Agiliad hardware and medical QA specialists were involved on
this project from the initial state in conceptualizing the
system and specifying functionalities for the system. The proof
of value exercise and subsequent prototyping done for multiple
concepts by Agiliad specialists helped the customer in taking
decisions and finalizing the concept. The solution involved
developing the hardware platform that included hardware test
fixture, test execution and calibration software. The system
works on high speed data exchange between the test system and
the test server and this was achieved using custom designed raw
Ethernet stack.
Agiliad
value proposition and customer benefits
- Accelerated product
development with stage wise rollout of the test platform
