Manufacturing Quality Control

Smarter Electronics Assurance with Anvil Checkpoint

Whether you buy, build or assemble electronics; There is one test for total confidence
Palitronica for Manufacturing - checking the SMT-line

Palitronica’s Anvil Checkpoint empowers you to verify electronics quality and security in a single step, using a AI and physics-powered approach that sees what others miss.

MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES

Electronics testing methods haven't kept pace

While designs grow more complex and supply chains stretch further, most QA tools have not advanced—leaving manufacturers to wrestle with blind spots, bottlenecks, and quality risks.

They only find the defects you are looking for 
 
 
​​​​They only find the defects you are looking for
Most tests are rule-based—if you're not explicitly looking for a specific fault, it gets missed. Anvil detects any deviation from a known-good profile, even without knowing what to look for.
Long lead times and time investment for every new target
 
 
​Each new board usually means new test development, code, and fixtures. With Anvil, setup is fast and repeatable—no schematics, no programming, no redesigns needed.
Fixtures are expensive and difficult to maintain â€‹
 
 
Traditional test fixtures are costly, delicate, and tied to specific designs. Anvil supports both reusable connector setups and simplified Bed-of-Nails, lowering cost and complexity.​
Risks of outsourcing (quality and consistency)
 
 
Supplier tests vary—and flaws, swaps, or counterfeits often go undetected. Anvil provides independent, physics-based validation that flags differences before boards reach your line.

Why Anvil 
Checkpoint

A physics-based approach to electronics verification; defect, fraud, and oversight detection in a single test. 

 

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.

Test Early or Anywhere
WHAT IS ENABLES:
  • Early detection of latent defects or supply chain issues

  • Mid-process inspection to reduce downstream rework

  • Flexible deployment from prototype through production

  • Reduced dependency on custom functional tests or debug access

Reduce, Simplify, or Eliminate Bed-of-Nails Fixtures.

Tired of building and maintaining costly, brittle test fixtures? 
Anvil supports non-invasive testing via standard connectors—allowing you to validate complex PCBs without adding test pads or building dedicated Bed-of-Nails (BoN) setups.

Reduce Simplify Eliminate BoN
WHAT IS ENABLES:​​
  • Leverage existing connectors to reduce fixture cost

  • Eliminate the need for exposed test points

  • Reduce mechanical wear and alignment issues

  • Simplify validation across product variants

Scorecard your suppliers

Scorecard Your Suppliers. Expand Outsourcing With Confidence.

Use Anvil to validate incoming parts or outsourced assemblies—no design files required. Build supplier scorecards based on measurable hardware integrity to improve accountability and confidently scale external production.

WHAT IS ENABLES:
  • Catch fraud, shortcuts, or misconfigurations from third-party builds

  • Generate audit-ready QA reports for compliance and traceability

  • Establish quantitative quality metrics for vendors

  • De-risk outsourcing by testing without needing source IP

End-of-Line Testing that Catches What Others Miss

Conventional test methods often verify function—not fidelity. Anvil Checkpoint detects component swaps, counterfeit parts, or configuration errors that functional and visual inspections overlook—ensuring the final unit truly matches expectations.

End-of-line testing
WHAT IS ENABLES:​​
  • Detect tampered, aged, or off-spec components

  • Flag counterfeit ICs and unauthorized design changes

  • Verify build consistency without firmware or schematics

  • Prevent latent field failures or recalls

The right tool for Manufacturing Quality Control

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.

In partnership with Rolls-Royce-ebook

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
