Case Study: Global Electronics Manufacturing Company nearly doubles production throughput and cuts test cycle time 44% with Keysight i3070 Advanced Throughput Multiplier

Production Throughput Doubles with Keysight i3070 Advanced Throughput Multiplier

Global Electronics Manufacturing Company, an EMS provider building networking boards, was seeing low production throughput for medium‑node‑count PCBA (1,296–2,592 nodes). Using a Keysight i3070 four‑module in‑circuit tester, the company was testing two‑board panels sequentially with a 95‑second cycle time—well above the 70‑second target needed to meet production goals.

Keysight implemented its i3070 Advanced Throughput Multiplier (hardware upgrade plus software v09.20pc and feature license) to enable parallel testing across two banks on the existing four‑module system. The change cut panel test time from 95s to 53s (a 44% reduction), increased production throughput ~1.8x (≈80% more boards), validated on >2,000 panels with no rise in false rejects, and required no extra engineering, floor space, or testers—demonstrating Keysight’s measurable impact.
