Case Study: Leading Contract Manufacturer for EVs achieves extended test coverage and faster time-to-market with Keysight E9988GL i3070 Series 7i

Future-Ready ICT Solutions for Enhanced Test Coverage E9988GL i3070 Series 7i inline in-circuit test system

Leading Contract Manufacturer, a contract manufacturer of EV electronic components, faced growing complexity on EV ECUs—its DUT had 3,281 test nodes—exceeding the capacity of conventional testers and creating insufficient test resources and time-to-market pressure. To address this, they turned to Keysight and evaluated the E9988GL i3070 Series 7i inline high-density in-circuit test system.

Keysight deployed the E9988GL i3070 Series 7i with Quad-Density pin cards, expanding capacity to support up to 5,760 test nodes while keeping the same 800 mm footprint. The rollout (including a 400-board pilot) delivered improved test coverage, reduced board handling time and faster short tests (Enhanced Shorts Test ~50% faster), accelerating time-to-market and simplifying fixture migration.
