System Integration
For any system to be of real value, it should be capable of integration with both the production plant system AND other test equipment being implemented. In the real world this means more than just a computer interface ...
Bar Code Scanner - standard on some, optional on other SMARTSTATION models, this provides simple 'quick scan operation' of the station as well as Product Registration / Tracking and the ability to build a product fault database.
Sequential test interlocking - if the SMARTSTATION PD is used ahead of, say, a VTI Helium Leak Test Station (SMARTSTATION HS), interlocking can prevent a Helium leak test until pressure testing has been completed streamlining production and increasing efficiency.
Computer Network Interface - of course, none of the above is possible without the requisite computer interface which is a standard feature on SMARTSTATION systems.
