Test Asset Optimization Services Loan Pool Your Challenge To decrease the cost of test.

Typical Resolution Use older equipment and stockpile under-utilized test assets.

Our Solution Loan and share test assets through a central pool of your under-used test

sharing across R&D labs and manufacturing operations.

• Leverage the residual market value of aging instruments through trade-in, upgrade, and disposal.

• Optimize rental-versus-purchase strategies (OpEx vs. CapEx) through loan pools that can link to your preferred rental company.

• Fund new test technologies with value captured from underutilized assets.
