Our contracted testing service will answer the following needs.
 |
 Development time needs to be shortened ! |
| As our basic principle, the requested test will be started within 1 week upon receipt of the specimens. However, an express service is also available for an additional fee. Furthermore, your prototypes evaluation time can be greatly reduced by using multiple test chambers at the same time if you need to test many specimens. |
|
| Effective and concentrated capital investment ! |
| As management styles are changing, it is undeniable that there are quite a number of companies which say "although we understand the importance of reliability testing, we can not help but be cautious in purchasing new facilities". ETAC's contracted testing service allows you to use our latest and best-suited facilities as and when needed, and therefore you do not have to invest in your own facilities. |
|
| Product data need to be collected for individual users ! |
| Regardless of the type of business, submission of application data is beginning to be a "must" in order to promote new products. However, it is not realistic to install test or evaluation equipment for every individual customer. ETAC's contracted testing service will allow you to obtain highly credible test data collected by an independent organization at the right time. |
|
| Many of our parts are procured overseas ! |
| Overseas procurement is a trend of the age and its ultimate purpose is cost reduction. However, in order to gain high recognition in the market, the quality of the products need to always be ensured. ETAC's contracted testing service will provide the best solution for you while significantly reducing the need for manpower and expenses required for quality control. |
|
| Test results need to be efficiently monitored ! |
| ETAC's contracted testing service includes a "virtual test service" which allows you to monitor the test data daily using your own PC. This service was developed by ETAC and it allows you to monitor the data anywhere, anytime so long as an internet connection is provided. *Proprietary viewer software needs to be installed. |
|
| Able to quickly respond to emergencies ! |
| When new products or new designs are just launched, unexpected problems can happen. In these cases, the speed of responses starting from identification of causes to proposal of solutions is very critical. Because at ETAC's"Reliability Clinic", both our customers and experienced engineers work out an analytical process together in order to identify the causes using our advanced analytical instruments, and any emergency situations can be responded to in a short period of time with adequate solutions. |
