Presto Engineering’s extensive test capabilities enable it to offer customers parallel testing of automotive products to provide much faster time to market

San Jose, CA, USA – 20 November 2018 – Automotive electronics testing is one of the most exacting of all test and qualification protocols before production release because of the safety and liability considerations. The AEC Q100 revisions, ZVEI and its French equivalent SIA for accelerated environment stress tests not only list the time or number of cycles that batches of samples have to be tested for, but ISO26262 also defines the set of mission profiles per product application in the car, and therefore potential associated risks and failure mechanisms to … Read More → "Presto Engineering’s extensive test capabilities enable it to offer customers parallel testing of automotive products to provide much faster time to market"

Pyreos delivers 30% expansion of dual and quad analogue infrared sensor range
