Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), are a set of standards and guidelines that ensure products are manufactured with quality, safety, and traceability, minimizing risks of contamination, failures, or deviations. These practices are required by regulatory bodies such as ANVISA, MAPA, FDA, and ISO for sectors like food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and
PPM means Parts Per Million (in English Parts Per Million) and is a metric used to measure the defect rate in a production process or testing system. PPM indicates how many defective parts exist per million units produced, being one of the main performance indicators in quality. The lower the
Customer trust is not built solely with good products — it depends on a consistent technical experience, reliable products, and quick and transparent responses to failures or doubts. In industrial sectors, especially regulated ones (automotive, electronic, medical, telecommunications), the brand image is directly linked to the reliability of what comes
NDF means No Defect Found, that is, no defect found. This term is used when a product returns with a failure complaint, but does not show any evident defect in the tests performed. This scenario is often associated with false negatives, which occur when a test releases a defective unit
R&R is the acronym for Repeatability and Reproducibility, two fundamental components of the study of measurement system capability. This type of study, also known as Gage R&R, evaluates whether a measurement system (manual or automated) is accurate, reliable, and consistent, regardless of who performs it or when the measurement is
Automated testing solutions like NI TestStand, LabVIEW, and integrated MES systems not only optimize test bench performance — they are key tools for ensuring compliance with technical standards and certifications required by national and international markets, especially in regulated sectors such as automotive, medical, electronic, and industrial. Automating is more
The technical documentation of a test bench is the set of information, diagrams, instructions, and records that define how the system works, how it should be operated, maintained, and audited. It is essential to ensure operational safety, compliance with standards such as NR-12, and standardization among operators, sectors, and external
The NR-12 (Regulatory Standard No. 12) is a standard from the Brazilian Ministry of Labor that establishes minimum safety requirements for the operation, maintenance, manufacturing, and importation of machinery and equipment. Its objective is to ensure the physical integrity and health of workers, preventing accidents, eliminating risks, and standardizing technical
