The Bench - delivering hands-on evaluation

A premium technology platform, that places complex products directly in customers' hands via a cloud based, interactive evaluation system. Customers can now evaluate products as if they were working with them, on their own test bench.

But wait, its better than that! The experience is augmented with additional time saving features:

• User programmable set-up
• Pre-loaded, standardised tests
• Guided way points
• Information augmentation:  product data, mouse-over hints and tacit knowledge tips

This is evaluation on users' terms without any of the hassles they normally face in their own evaluation environment. It's a great way to minimise users' time commitment when faced with understanding complex products. It's also great at maximising customer's on-line interaction.

The Bench

Like an Engineer's own bench without the hassle!

Client Benefits

Applications 

The Bench  can be used with a wide variety of products:

• Complex semiconductors
• Electronic test gear
• Scientific equipment
• Infrastructure products
• Professional electronic systems
• Power supplies

The Bench Elements

The Bench comprises the following parts:

• Standard or customised product test fixture
• User programmable test equipment, augmented with pre-loaded tests
• Browser based user interface (GUI) with user guidance
• Multi-channel video allow users to see what's going on 
• An end of session summary with calls to action

This video provides a brief tour of the main functions of the current development platform. Built around a sychronous DC/DC convertor and integrated 8-bit MCU from Microchip (for device info: MCP19111). This digital power platform can also be used to demonstrate a wide range of power components including ICs, power modules and even power supplies (PSUs).
