ANVIL CHECKPOINT

Catch What Others Miss

The Anvil CheckPoint detects defects, fraud, and hidden changes in your electronics—early, efficiently, and without assumptions

Introducing a physics-based approach to electronics verification; defect, fraud, and oversight detection in a single test. Using radio frequency echoes and artificial intelligence, Anvil CheckPoint establishes a known-good profile of a device and flags any deviation—without requiring schematics, firmware, or prior knowledge of the target. Whether you're verifying a multi-layer ECU or assessing vendor quality across global supply lines, Anvil equips you to detect what others miss, catch problems early, and build trust into every stage of electronics production.

Configurability. Matching Customer Needs.

Supporting various targets, connection methods, and deployment formats no matter where in your manufacturing process or supply chain you want to test.
TARGETS

Can test microcircuits, components, assemblies, and entire modules.

ADAPTERS

Connect to your electronics with a bed-of-nails fixture or a simple connector.

FORM FACTORS

Deploy as a stationary bench-top,  mobile unit, or fully automated system.

Finally, Innovation in Electronics Testing

Anvil CheckPoint is designed for effortless integration into your electronics testing and validation workflows.

Without requiring any access to target designs, firmware, or programming interfaces, Anvil CheckPoint delivers powerful assurance that your electronics are free from defects, oversights, and tampering.

Broad-Spectrum
Detection.

Zero Assumptions.

Anvil Checkpoint doesn't look for known problems—it looks for any difference 
that matters.

What Makes it Broad-Spectrum - anchor
Powered by physics and AI and RF echoes, Anvil Checkpoint catches any physical differences down to the silicon.

What Makes It Broad-Spectrum?
NO NEED TO KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
Don't design and program for every component or possible failure. Anvil trains on known-good units and detects deviations in tested units - even for complex, multi-layered targets.
DETECTS DEFECTS, OVERSIGHTS
AND FRAUD
Any physical difference is caught. Not just manufacturing defects, but oversights and inadvertent BOM changes and even counterfeit or knock-off components.
CATCH DIFFERENCES OTHER TESTS MISS
Latent issues with functional components? Supplier shortcuts with materials? Anvil catches any physical differences.

If it’s different—it’s detected. Even when you don’t know what to look for.

Proof:

​

In a benchmark test on a telematics control unit (TCU), Anvil Checkpoint:

  • Detected 100% of hardware modifications and defects

  • Flagged counterfeit ICs, aged boards, shorts, and swaps​

  • ​Delivered outstanding results via both Bed-of-Nails and standard connector interfaces

What Makes It Flexible?

Whether you’re testing manually at the bench or automating QA at scale, Anvil CheckPoint meets you where you are with versatile interfacing and deployment options.

MULTIPLE INTERFACE OPTIONS

Unlike other testing methods, Anvil CheckPoint does not need to connect to a specific location or directly near or around the components being tested. It can send its signal through existing connectors or through a simple Bed-of-Nails fixture.

SCALE FIXTURING TO MATCH YOUR MANUFACTURING

Anvil CheckPoint can be implemented as a manual benchtop test station or as a semi-automated carousel.

ONE TOOL, MANY TARGETS

Anvil CheckPoint supports components, assemblies, and modules. Using existing connectors allows you to target multiple products with a single fixture.

No Schematics. 
No Problem.

Anvil CheckPoint doesn't need to know anything about the electronics to know something is different, or if something has changed.

Without requiring any access to designs, schematics, or BOMs, Anvil CheckPoint delivers powerful assurance that your electronics are free from defects, oversights, or fraud.

NO DETAILED KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

Anvil CheckPoint doesn't need to know anything about your electronics. It learns from known-good units and detects deviations - even for complex, multi-layered targets.

NO IP LEAKAGE

Because Anvil CheckPoint doesn't need access to proprietary information, your sensitive designs stay protected. It keeps your intellectual property secure—no reverse engineering, no data extraction, no risk.

SIMPLIFIED, STREAMLINED DEPLOYMENT

Just connect, train, and test. Whether you're using a standard connector or a bed-of-nails fixture, setup is fast, adaptable, and reusable across products.
