In an interview published on Elektroprůmysl.cz, BTL Medical Technologies, one of Europe’s leading medical device manufacturers, shares how it automated its PCBA testing with the Test-it-off platform developed and implemented by KINALI. The solution helps BTL overcome the shortage of qualified operators, reduce operational costs, and ensure consistent testing performance in High-Mix, Low-Volume production.
Producing and testing hundreds of thousands of PCBAs each year is a demanding process that requires precision, flexibility, and consistent quality. For BTL Medical Technologies, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of medical devices, PCBA testing plays a critical role in ensuring product reliability and maintaining smooth production flow. Operating in a High-Mix, Low-Volume mode, BTL must frequently change between different PCBA types while keeping downtime and human error to a minimum.
In an interview published on Elektroprůmysl.cz (in Czech), BTL explains how these challenges, including a shortage of qualified operators, led to the adoption of Test-it-off, an automation platform fully developed and implemented by KINALI. The system automates PCBA testing, integrates with existing ICT and FCT testers, and allows several hours of fully autonomous operation without supervision.
The interview highlights:
• How BTL addressed the lack of qualified testing staff through automation
• How Test-it-off reduces operational costs by replacing manual testing with autonomous operation
• How KINALI’s modular system improves scalability and consistency in High-Mix, Low-Volume production
The article provides a clear look at how Test-it-off helps manufacturers transform their PCBA testing process — achieving higher reliability, lower costs, and independence from staffing fluctuations, all in line with the principles of Industry 4.0.
