Production Test Fixtures
Production Test & Fixtures
Manufacturing enablement delivered as artifacts—EOL functional test strategy, fixtures, test software, pass/fail criteria, and traceability-ready logs for controllers, BMS, and battery pack programs.
- Define test coverage and acceptance criteria (what we test / what we don’t)
- Fixture scope: mechanical jig, wiring harness, connectors, probes (program-defined)
- Test software: scripts, parameter files, version control, station IDs
- Logging & traceability: serial logic, station logs, pass/fail records (program-defined)
- Manufacturing handoff: SOP, calibration/maintenance guidance, release checklist
What this solution is (and is not)
This solution turns engineering prototypes into repeatable manufacturing tests. We define test coverage, build fixtures and test software, and deliver handoff artifacts. We do not replace your factory’s full production engineering team; we enable a controllable EOL workflow and traceability structure.
Where it fits in the program
Production test enablement should start before PVT. The right time to define EOL coverage is when interfaces and baselines are stable—otherwise factories ship “unknown behavior” downstream.
- EVT: define what needs to be testable and what signals/logs must exist
- DVT: validate coverage vs failure modes and tune acceptance criteria
- PVT: freeze fixtures, scripts, station setup, and release checklist for ramp
Core deliverables (what you receive)
Deliverables are packaged to be integration-ready and version-controlled.
- Test coverage definition: test items, conditions, instrumentation, and acceptance criteria
- Fixture package: mechanical drawings, harness/pinout notes, connector definition (program-defined)
- Test software package: scripts, parameter files, versioning rules, and station configuration
- Pass/Fail rules: thresholds, tolerances, and re-test / rework flow (program-defined)
- Logging & traceability: serial format, station IDs, log fields, and export format (program-defined)
- Handoff package: SOP, calibration guidance, maintenance checklist, release notes
Typical test coverage (examples)
Integration workflow (how we deliver)
- Define scope: product type(s), target station(s), factory constraints, and throughput target
- Agree on coverage: failure modes vs test items (what must be caught at EOL)
- Lock interfaces: pinout, comms map, and baseline parameters (versioned)
- Build fixtures and scripts; define pass/fail criteria and re-test flow
- Pilot run: run samples, tune thresholds, validate log fields and traceability
- Freeze release: fixture package + software package + SOP + maintenance checklist
Typical KPIs (program-defined)
- First-pass yield (FPY) and re-test rate at EOL
- Escape rate reduction (issues caught before shipment)
- Station cycle time vs throughput target
- Traceability completeness (serial, station logs, firmware/parameter version)
- Debug time reduction using standardized logs
Inputs we need to scope the work
To propose an accurate fixture and test plan, we typically request:
- Product type(s): controller / BMS / pack and target variants
- Connector/pinout baseline and comms map (CAN/UART if applicable)
- Failure mode priorities (what must be caught at EOL)
- Factory constraints: station space, operators, throughput target
- Data requirements: traceability fields and log retention expectations
Request a production test enablement proposal
Share your product type, factory constraints, and traceability requirements. We’ll respond with a structured proposal outline and next-step questions.
Fixture scope, pass/fail criteria, and traceability fields are program-defined. We deliver manufacturing enablement artifacts and documentation; production execution depends on the factory’s process and program plan.
