FastATE® Technology is the core to developing turn-key solutions that are truly modular, scalable and flexible, and thus we help to make the job of both test engineers and budget managers much easier. Thanks to FastATE, test engineers do not have to address the recurrent tasks of every project: a 6TL module completes these tasks for them. Each module selected is a high-level block that covers a function of the ATE and works together with the rest making in the end a real modular and flexible production test solution. The resulting test solution will be easily documented and will smoothly become the standard for the production, since the standardization is in the genetics of the FastATE® Technology.
