Multi-System ATE And V&V For A Fortune 100 Surgical Stapler Product Line

Discover The Projects

A Fortune 100 medical device company needed automated test equipment for a multifunctional endoscopic stapler across handle and shaft assemblies, plus V&V across multiple test systems including closure force testers and design verification systems.

Good Automation designed and built ATE for handle and shaft assemblies, performed V&V on closure force testers and design verification systems, redeveloped test software to meet updated quality requirements, and extended V&V consulting to supply chain partners. Engagement spanned over 5 years.
