The complexity of R&D testing facilities calls for a systems integration approach to meet the organization’s goals for robust data. It is a common misconception that technology ranging across devices, systems, controls, equipment, and automated systems will work together seamlessly. Instead, it takes a dedicated commitment to systems integration that leverages the experience and expertise of test equipment, supply chain, and industry experts to help plan, design, build, commission, and validate acceptance on an organization’s vision for a new test environment.
