Proligent™ - The Test Engineering Platform

What is Proligent?

Proligent is a test engineering platform that simplifies the design and maintenance of test systems. Database-driven, Proligent provides insight, traceability and control over dynamic manufacturing environments. Companies can quickly and easily validate product performance and maximize time-to-market and time-to-quality.

With integrated functionalities that include configuration-based test definitions, unit-level test flow management, and automatic report generation, Proligent simplifies the tasks performed by test and design engineers, and their managers. Automation significantly reduces test times; a central, server solution provides depth and traceability over large amounts of information; and menu-driven test execution ensures consistency with remote manufacturing.

Organizations in rapid expansion benefit from a best practices approach to meet time-to-market goals; global enterprises can achieve standardization and manufacturing efficiency to increase yield and boost profits. Proligent provides a foundation for scalability that smoothes the transition from NPI to high-volume production.

Smart Solutions for Manufacturers

Test System Uniformity

Greatly simplify local and remote system management with a unified test architecture, and build a foundation for manufacturing growth. 

Proligent features an easy-to-use GUI interface that simplifies access to the hardware and software installed on the test system. A flexible Application Programming Interface (API) eliminates hard-coded dependencies on the underlying software, facilitating modifications and updates. The system framework is easily configured to accommodate multiple hardware components that perform different tests, thereby increasing overall equipment effectiveness.

Featuring an interactive communication layer, Proligent easily manages the flow of information to and from a global network of test systems. A consistent workflow and methodology for all test systems reduces the effort required to populate and maintain a growing production line.

Advanced Data Management

Streamline all test information into a central database to accelerate the design cycle at any stage during the course of the product lifecycle.

Unique to Proligent, engineers are able to enter and save all information related to test definitions, including product specifications, station configuration, and test software into a central database. An easy-to-use GUI means straightforward changes and additions. New products or stations are achieved with minimal programming effort, simply by defining the model within the structure.

Similarly, Proligent automatically captures and aggregates test results in the same repository. Results are directly correlated to the conditions of test. All information is traceable, including all versions, over the course of the product lifecycle.

Product Genealogy and Assembly Management

Perform superior performance analysis of as-built assemblies with comprehensive test information for all subcomponents.

Tracking subcomponents by serial number, Proligent captures a significant amount of detail that is accessible for analysis, even after assembly. OEMs can quickly validate that the module has successfully passed the requirements for final assembly. In the event of a failure, the component is easily identified and replaced, without having to scrap the entire assembly.

Outsource with Confidence

Whether you manufacture in-house or with overseas contract manufacturers (CM), Proligent’s robust feature set gives OEMs full control over the entire process. From test process control to real-time visibility, Proligent gives you independence from your CM throughout the product lifecycle.

Test Flow Automation

Eliminate shop-floor improvisation and gain ultimate control over the test process with unit-level flow automation.

Quickly create detailed flow definitions, including rework loops and sampling, to ensure that units progress correctly from station to station. Serial number scanning ensures correct unit routing. Failures are handled in the same way, eliminating the possibility of sending a failed unit for shipping. Process deviation handling accommodates maximum throughput.

Automated Test Deployment

Eliminate the effect of time zones, manufacturing distance, and manual revisions with automated test system updates.

With centralized test definitions and a secure connection to all test stations, Proligent enables automatic test deployment. An OEM can send updates as soon as they are available, or roll back to previous versions, transparent to shop-floor activities. Serialized units are scanned before test, and the test system is synchronized to the last version.

Secure Data Tranfer

Real Time Quality Reports

Make smart decisions based on shop-floor reality with real-time manufacturing and quality reports.

Proligent automatically collects test information from stations located anywhere in the world, significantly reducing the hours spent gathering and processing data.  Predefined reports are generated on-demand, giving direct access to results. Information is viewed via a password-protected web portal.
