Industrial Test Automation
Highest quality and reliability
Industrial Test Automation
Innovative automation solutions
Automation plays a crucial role in today’s industry. It aims to optimize and simplify processes by minimizing human interventions and instead employing machines and systems to accomplish tasks. We offer the opportunity to automate both manual handling of test systems and to develop fully automated rotary indexing systems, relying on customized solutions tailored to meet individual requirements.
More than just automated test sequences
Our wide range of industrial (test) automation solutions offers individual paths to optimize your manufacturing processes. From expanding existing test systems to implementing complete industrial automation lines to developing highly complex systems in close collaboration with our partners – we support you with our NOFFZ experts. For various requirements, we have developed a modular system that reflects the different levels of automation and is flexible and adaptable.
Automation solutions tailored to your requirements
An overview of our modules
Module 1: Basic Automation
Our industrial (test) automation solution offers an innovative expansion possibility for existing test systems. With the Basic module, we enable automation by integrating a portal, stage, or robot. This approach optimizes your existing workflows by reducing manual processes and increasing efficiency. By seamlessly integrating our automation technologies into your existing infrastructure, you maximize your investment and open up new possibilities for improved performance.

Processes
Integrated Processes
- Effizienz: Automatisierte Tests können schneller durchgeführt werden als manuelle Tests, da sie in der Lage sind, eine große Anzahl von Testfällen in kurzer Zeit auszuführen. Dies führt zu einer beschleunigten Testdurchführung und verkürzten Entwicklungszyklen.
- Konsistenz: Automatisierte Tests führen zu einer höheren Konsistenz und Genauigkeit bei der Durchführung von Testfällen, da sie frei von menschlichen Fehlern sind. Dadurch wird die Zuverlässigkeit der Testergebnisse verbessert.
- Skalierbarkeit: Automatisierte Tests können leicht skaliert werden, um den Anforderungen von Projekten mit unterschiedlichen Größen und Komplexitäten gerecht zu werden. Sie können problemlos auf mehreren Plattformen und Umgebungen eingesetzt werden.
- Wiederholbarkeit: Durch die Automatisierung von Tests können diese jederzeit wiederholt und beliebig oft ausgeführt werden, ohne dass zusätzliche Ressourcen erforderlich sind. Dies erleichtert die kontinuierliche Integration und das Testen in DevOps- und Agile-Umgebungen.
- Kostenersparnis: Obwohl der initiale Aufwand für die Einrichtung automatisierter Tests höher sein kann, führen sie langfristig zu erheblichen Kosteneinsparungen. Durch die Reduzierung des manuellen Testaufwands können Unternehmen Zeit und Ressourcen sparen.
