Remote Factory Acceptance Test
Our customers are always welcome to witness the F.A.T. testing of their pump units. However, given the cost and time implications of getting here, we have a remote F.A.T. viewing capability.
The remote inspection and testing is implemented via Microsoft Teams. A meeting is set up by the local test team and remote inspection or test team members are invited to join. The local video streams are provided by two mounted cameras and/or mobile video. This can then be shared by the dedicated test area computer to the rest of the team members. Videos can be set to scroll from one to another at a pre-set speed or can be changed at the request of any team member.
