Quality engineering integration for test bench data

BITRON S.p.A. needed stronger information management between engineering and quality control, with a specific focus on test bench data.

Goal: structured and correlated technical information management, improving data traceability and reliability.

The workflow had typical partial-integration issues: heterogeneous data collection, manual correlations, repeated checks and error risk during quality validation.

Technical assessment mapped LAQUAF laboratory flows end-to-end: test orders, planning, operator assignment, measurements and reporting.

Analysis included SIGIP/AS400 constraints, test status management, DUT traceability and low-level data analysis requirements on both point measurements and curves.

F2XP delivered BWeb, a web portal integrated in the quality engineering environment to manage test bench data.

The platform covers activity planning, lab test management, acquisition/historization, baseline statistical analysis, trend/chart visualization and report workflows with laboratory manager validation.

- Web portal with Active Directory domain authentication and role-based access (lab manager, lab operator, requesting departments) - MES data model for test orders, tests, lab procedures, test modes, equipment, DUTs, measurements, attachments and reports - SIGIP/AS400 integration for master data ingestion (equipment, products, DUTs, codes) - XML/Excel test data import (initial phase) with readiness for direct equipment-to-portal data submission in future phases - Operational workflow with planning (Kanban logic), task assignment, test execution, outcome control and report publication - Interactive data analysis and visualization (point values/curves, trend comparison) including unit management and conversions - Structured reporting with attachments (pdf/jpeg/excel), validation flow and end-to-end traceability

- Higher traceability across the full test lifecycle (test order -> test -> report) - Reduced manual effort for data consolidation and lookup - Better information continuity between engineering, quality and requesting departments - Greater control on planning, equipment saturation and activity progress - After one year of use, test workflow speed improved from days to a few hours

The project strengthened technical decision reliability, reduced dependence on manual checks and improved trust in quality-control information.

C# and enterprise web technologies, legacy integration (AS400), relational databases (SQL Server/MySQL), data analysis/reporting, lab-domain modeling.

Core capabilities: industrial system integration, data governance, technical workflow design, simplified web HMI for lab operations.

Extend the data model to additional testing processes, add KPI dashboards and progressively automate control rules.

Do you recognize these problems? - Our systems do not communicate. - We rely on many Excel files and lose time on manual checks. - We need to integrate SAP / ERP / CAD with other systems.
