Safety is paramount across all industries and manufacturing processes, and electrical testing continues to be a crucial factor in ensuring that devices, machinery, vehicles, and gadgets all function optimally with minimal risk to users and consumers. At Test Products, Inc., the team is committed to designing and implementing electrical testing solutions that safeguard your systems and any individuals who may interact with them, thus increasing quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction.

Electrical Testing for Safety

Testing electrical systems and components can be challenging and requires precision and accuracy to fully identify areas of concern and rectify potential malfunctions. Electrical failures can be quite common, especially in systems that are used frequently or vigorously, and testing is a key prevention strategy to identify and address problems before they worsen.

The risks associated with faulty equipment can often cause electrical fires, shocks, workplace hazards, or even fatal accidents, and it’s important to prioritize risk mitigation using electrical testing. Utilizing tailor-made, comprehensive, and regular testing goes beyond mere functionality tests, and rather helps to assess faulty components quickly so that disasters don’t unexpectedly occur.

Case Study: Automotive Seat Testing

Test Products Inc.’s advanced testing capabilities were used to enhance the safety of an automotive manufacturer’s vehicle seat systems, particularly by improving sensor capabilities to detect weight and automate air bag deployment in the case of a crash. When the system was originally created, this occupant detector was not properly calibrated and, as a result, could not accurately detect an occupant’s weight.

To meet this challenge, the team at TPI designed and custom-built a recalibrated system that accurately detected an occupant’s weight and therefore connected with the proper air bag deployment intensity. This new and improved system reduced the test time from nearly 50 seconds to 34 seconds, thus providing increased accuracy, quality, and safety.

Investing in customizable electrical testing capabilities from the design phase to the production phase is an investment in the quality and safety of your final deliverables. The team at TPI is committed to prioritizing safety and security throughout the electrical testing process to ensure that your manufacturing process remains efficient and hazard-free while cutting costs associated with expensive recalls or potential legal repercussions associated with unsafe consumer products.

Test Products, Inc. (TPI) has provided custom and patented solutions for the electrical testing industry for decades due to its ability to customize testing systems to fit each client’s unique needs. TPI focuses on creating a testing plan as a final step to validate and verify the smallest sub-system to the entire final assembled product to assure it arrives as promised to the customer and that you are producing it with the highest throughput and profitability.
