Finding Faults the Competition Can't
Conventional Test Program Sets (TPS) have routinely been proven to be inadequate for isolating and identifying hard-to-find faults during depot level testing of circuit card assemblies (CCA). When many boards test fine in the depot, they still fail when installed in the system, causing in increase of 'No fault Found' (NFF), 'Could Not Duplicate' (CND) and Retest OK (RTOK). This subpar fault detection results in increased lifetime maintenance costs, man-hours, and needless equipment replacement that can average $2 million per 'Bad Actor' per year in costs.
Ridgetop's NightHawk NFF Reduction Tool is the next generation of new technology needed for accurate testing of 'soft' fault test approaches. Using advanced anomaly detection algorithms, this software-based tool augments existing test programs, such as VDATS, with increased test coverage, saving maintenance costs and reducing repair time.
NightHawk can also be an effective component in advanced diagnostic and prognostic Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) and Prognostic Health Management (PHM) systems. NightHawk provides a library of proven anomaly detection algorithms, all of which are effectively used in PHM systems for critical automotive, aerospace and industrial automation applications.
