Teradyne’s Tactics to Tackle Twenty-First Century Test
My interest in Archimedes was spurred by a chat with Eli Roth, who is Product Manager for Smart Manufacturing at Teradyne. Eli was bringing me up to date with the recent launch of Teradyne’s Archimedes Analytics Solution. The Archimedes Analytics Solution employs a Zero-Trust (ZT) model in which data is encrypted throughout. For example, you don’t want anybody to take data off the tester and manipulate it before shipping it out. Thus, Teradyne ensures that all the data coming off the tester is genuine and is essentially “stamped” as being “Teradyne known good”; that is, this is genuine data that came directly off the tester and cannot be manipulated by nefarious scoundrels—it’s data customers can count on.
Two main usage scenarios are depicted below. In the first scenario, data from a Teradyne tester is streamed directly to Teradyne’s edge device in the form of the UltraEdge2000. Featuring the lowest latency, highest performance parallel compute process Teradyne offers, the UltraEdge2000 lives directly in the test cell, thereby providing real-time analytics and real-time actionable data that can be used to make real-time decisions. In addition to Teradyne’s out-of-the-box analytical solutions, customers can employ their own homegrown solutions or solutions from other analytics providers.
proteanTecs and Teradyne Partner to Bring Machine Learning-driven Telemetry to SoC Testing
proteanTecs, a global leader of deep data analytics for advanced electronics, and Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER), a leading supplier of automated test solutions, announced their strategic partnership to enhance semiconductor test and debug processes for advanced system-on-chips (SoCs). By connecting proteanTecs’ on-chip agent data and analytics software with Teradyne’s test programs, customers benefit from a new level of device visibility where they need it most — on the tester, for inline and real-time decisions.
MachineMetrics Announces $20M Series B Funding Round
MachineMetrics, an industrial data startup that elevates manufacturing performance through autonomous machining, announced today it has raised $20 million in Series B financing. The company will use the funding to scale its platform globally and democratize access to the machine insights that power manufacturing operations.
“Manufacturing is on the brink of a digital renaissance. The intersection of software, big data and physical machinery is the next frontier for manufacturing and a proven solution for overcoming the production and labor shortages we are experiencing right now,” said Bill Bither, co-founder and CEO of MachineMetrics. “Today’s industrial machines are inefficient because they require significant human intervention to operate. MachineMetrics makes it easy to harness data from these machines and lays the foundation for the factory of the future where machines operate autonomously and with predictability.”
