Introduction
As you walk around any typical plant, most of what you see is hardware, be it motors, drives, PLCs, controllers, or even machines and even IT equipment like routers, switches, and other devices. The fourth industrial revolution has further accelerated the use and deployment of hardware in our plants. Highly automated factories with cutting-edge field devices are reaping the benefits of greater flexibility and efficiency across their processes. With that also comes the risk of equipment failure and security risk. Adequate testing of these devices such that they operate as expected in a variety of scenarios is important. Utthunga provides comprehensive hardware testing services across industrial domains and variety of hardware. We have successfully executed several projects of varying complexity by creating efficient test setups.
Why Hardware Testing Services and Hardware Pre-Compliance Testing is Required for Industries?
Proper attention to hardware testing can offer a number of benefits such as
Lower Risk of Field Failure
Early Detection of Errors and Fixing of Potential Issues
Enhanced Visibility into the Product Development Process
Increased Scalability
Enhanced Safety
Increased Savings
Reduced Issues Related to Warranty

Why Utthunga for Embedded V&V Services?
Verification answers the question, “Are we building the product right?” and checks if all the specifications (requirement, design, implementation, testing, maintenance and support) are correctly implemented in the system.
Validation answers the question, “Are we building the right product?” and checks that the user’s needs and all the stakeholder’s goals will be met. It makes sure that you are not building a product based on faulty assumptions and ignorance.
We are a leading provider of verification and validation services. Our rich experience in different embedded platforms and operating systems help us to enable you to deliver excellent products to your customers.
