Welcome to ASTER Technologies
Company Profile
ASTER Technologies is the leading supplier in Board-Level Testability analysis tools,
which capitalizes on proven expertise in board testability and strong
customer relations. Founded in 1993, ASTER develops a wide range of
products dealing with PCB Testability, Viewing and Quality Management.
Our skilled employees constantly develop and enhance a suite of complementary products while our
global network of specialists support our installed base worldwide,
including independent support centers, distributors and value added resellers.
We take pride in possessing an in-depth understanding of customers'
requirements and the expertise to create innovative solutions in
electronics and software engineering. Our philosophy can be summarized
in one sentence: "If there is no solution, it is because there is no
problem."
|
Main Products
ASTER Technologies portfolio
of electrical Testability Analysis, Board Viewing and Quality Management
products have been developed over many years by working closely with our
customers in fully understanding their problems and providing innovative
solutions, to improve product yield from design through to production.
Improving yield management requires a deep insight into all
quality aspects of electronics production. This is achieved through
comprehensive electrical DfT analysis early in the design cycle, leading to
efficient test distribution and fault coverage verification, whilst
incorporating pro-active defect prevention; resulting in higher product
reliability, ensuring that
faulty products are not delivered to the customer, resulting in increased
competitiveness and profitability.
|
 |
TestWay is
a proven solution, used by many PCB design and manufacturers worldwide that
provides a unique approach to analyze electrical testability requirements
and estimate test coverage aligned to specific test strategies, at the
earliest opportunity in the design cycle.
The TestWay open architecture design is based on a testability framework
that interfaces with a variety of plug-in modules to provide both import and
export opportunities that make it fully customizable to customer's specific
requirements. |
|
 |
TPQR [Test Program Quality Report] is a
“low-cost” and “easy-to-use” software tool for PCB analysis.
Based on the leading TestWay’s core, it makes it possible to quantify and
qualify the test coverage for many inspection and test equipments. |
|
|
QuadView is a powerful set of
scalable board viewing modules that can be used either as a standalone
viewer or fully integrated within customer's applications.
QuadView can be used in the design environment to assist in DfT and test
coverage analysis. Whereas, within the manufacturing environment it becomes an
integral part of the repair cycle, assisting in locating faults and
reducing repair time significantly.
|
|
 |
QUAD is a flexible
modular Quality Management tool built around a centralized and open
architecture database, providing traceability for any PCB electronic
production data. QUAD covers all quality aspects of PCB assembly,
sub-assembly and system build, allowing you to manage the quality data
flow from product realization to product retirement. It has been
designed to be used either standalone or to be easily integrated into
any existing production environment. |
|
 |
WildScan is a product that
makes it possible to migrate a Boundary-Scan test (BST) program to an
In-Circuit tester (ICT) without the need for any complementary hardware
integration within the In-Circuit tester. This significantly reduces
test fixturing costs by utilising the same test fixture for both
Boundary-Scan and In-Circuit testing, providing a one-stop test
solution. |
