Physics-Based Electronics Verification

Modern electronics manufacturing faces a growing gap between what traditional tests can confirm and the risks that actually drive failures, recalls, and supplier escapes.
As designs become denser and supply chains more distributed, defects, undocumented substitutions, and process drift increasingly evade conventional inspection and functional testing. These issues are often discovered late, after cost and risk have already compounded.
Anvil Checkpoint is a non-destructive electronics verification platform that detects internal differences in electronic hardware early, efficiently, and without assumptions. Using physics-based RF measurements and AI, Anvil establishes a known-good signature of a device and flags any deviation, even when designs, documentation, or firmware are unavailable.
One verification test. Broad-spectrum insight.
Anvil Checkpoint is designed to integrate into real production workflows. It can be deployed as a benchtop system, a mobile unit, or a fully automated test station, and supports components, assemblies, and complete modules using standard connectors or bed-of-nails fixtures.
Quality and manufacturing teams use Anvil Checkpoint to:
Detect hidden defects and internal changes earlier in the production lifecycle
Objectively compare suppliers, lots, and contract manufacturers
Identify process drift before it results in escapes or field failures
Reduce reliance on complex fixtures while maintaining coverage
Scale testing and outsourcing without sacrificing quality control
Whether validating multilayer automotive ECUs, industrial controllers, or security-sensitive electronics, Anvil Checkpoint provides objective insight into what is inside the device, not just how it behaves at the pins.
