Medical Device Testing

Single Source Design, Fabrication,
and Installation of Advanced ATE's

V I Engineering's new corporate headquarters includes a 3,000 sq. ft. hardware-build facility. This advanced production and assembly area means single source planning and execution of turn-key testing solutions. By adding hardware design and fabrication experts to our proven team of software developers, projects stay under one roof, greatly improving quality and dependability. By extending our, CMMi based, development process to hardware engineering, the difficulties of change management, configuration management and documentation are made simple. We can also show you an EIM solution for your T&M data, provide on-going maintenance and upgrades while delivering the lowest "Total Cost of Ownership" possible.

Five Familiar Configuration Challenges One Powerful Configuration Solution: VISTA


Difficulty Coordinating Multiple Vendors
Despite system integrators' success in the past, multiple vendors working on the same project can suffer from the "too many cooks" syndrome. This can make communications, change management and delivery schedules more difficult.

Quality Problems Cause Missed Deadlines
Whether it's specification changes, technology updates or design flaws, quality problems can delay critical deadlines, waste money and potentially damage your companies reputation.

Incomplete Pre-Production Prototyping
Reviewing circuit board design concepts or receiving performance assurances doesn't guarantee the desired functionality or required interoperability, working prototypes are required.

Future Maintenance and Support Concerns
Since test equipment often has the same lifecycle as the UUT, a dependable resource is required to provide on-going support, upgrades, necessary repairs and consulting that enhances both the testing process and the management of test data.

Test Equipment Obsolesces
Technological advances can make state-of-the-art test equipment obsolete too quickly. Customers require resources with the talent and experience to design scaleable and upgradeable ATE's.


One Source for Turn-Key Test Results
Expert hardware fabrication, award winning software development and PMI certified project management, all under one roof means complete test and measurement systems delivered on-time, on-budget with the lowest possible "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO).

Better Project Control, Better Quality Control
With both hardware and software following our CMMi based development process and one customer focused project manager overseeing the entire effort, errors are minimized and quality is guaranteed.

Design & Prototype Approval Before Production
Formal client approval is required by our development process at several key project mile stones. All custom circuit boards can be fully fabricated for design validation and functional verification prior to integration.

12 Years and 1000 Systems Strong
V I Engineering's reputation for dependability, built over a decade of test engineering experience, was earned by diligently guarding the welfare of our customers, searching for opportunities to value, and responding to their changing with the most up-to-date technology.

Expertise Assures Forward Compatibility
Our commitment to the lowest TCO possible, means designing for forward compatibly and using only
forward compatible COTS products like those from National Instruments, one our key strategic partners.
