About WATS

WATS is a test data management solution that allows businesses in the electronics industry to collect and analyze test data for determining potential issues across assets, equipment or production processes. Managers can gain insights into business-critical processes by leveraging yield metrics, statistical parameters, key performance indicators (KPIs) and actionable analytics.

Repair operators can access performance reports along with image attachments and other important comments, enabling them to analyze failure statistics for parameters such as test steps, component references and more. Key features include software distribution, MAC and serial number allocation, alerts/notifications, inspection management and workflow configuration. Using WATS' mobile applications, managers can monitor the test history of products and access unit under test (UUT) reports.

Enterprises can use WATS' API to modify the system and integrate it with various third-party applications. Pricing is available on quarterly or annual subscriptions and support is extended via live chat, documentation and an inquiry form.

    Understand your product and its performance

    5

    SkyWATS allowed us to perform R&R comparisons of test stations in a fast and efficient manner and immediately highlighted an issue with a slight mismatch in performance which we were able to rectify (and verify the fix) with minimal downtime. I've used this product for over 10 years because I trust it and the team behind it.

    Pros:
    Provides an almost "codeless" solution for those looking to quickly store test data from TestStand / LabVIEW. The data that is stored is then able to be reviewed and analyzed quickly allowing us to respond to product yield or performance issues in a proactive manner. Critical for any complex high volume test solution.
    Cons:
    Inability to define (or add) custom queries or reports.

    very easy to bring the statistics for the period that the user is interested in. it gives graphic view for the measurements in the manufacturing , highlights the highest failing steps with failing rate.
    Cons:
    it needed to preload the sequence model in TestStand back when I was using it. If it can be a hot plug app that can be merge in after the test development, it'll be great!

    Sometimes it feels that you have almost too much alternative approaches to get needed results so it's bit easy to lost in the GUI.

    Overall, using WATS is a great experience. We are able to look at specific data and understand how our production is affected, good or bad. We also use WATS to collect test reports on individual PCB's as well as completed products, this gives us great transparency over our production floor.

    Pros:
    Since switching to WATS, the data collection and collation has helped our production teams to truly understand some of the issues we were having. This helped our teams to focus on changes that helped with our assembly and test areas.
    Cons:
    Integrating with some of the other software platforms we already had in place was difficult at first and was a bit much having multiple resources giving us, effectively, the same information. However, once that was streamlined, it has become a vital tool.
