Hans-Peter Kraus, Productivity Engineering GmbH

”For 20 years, we have been in the business of designing and producing specific circuits, particularly for automated industrial processes, medical technology and instrumentation. We are a one-stop shop for our customers, who can obtain from us both analogue and mixed-signal ASICs, right through from the drawing board to full supply chain management for their manufacturing.

Our supply chain management system has ISO certification and monitors the process from start-to-finish – from fabrication of the wafer through to despatch of the finished item, including all necessary analysis and testing, whether for the prototype or the mass product. All tests necessary are integrated into the supply chain system.

As early as 2014, we involved IMMS in this production chain system as test providers to our industrial partners. In this context, IMMS develops customised environments for wafer tests and final device tests, carries out the tests and, furthermore, offers professional support on test optimisation and yield. Our customers come to us because we are prompt and reliable suppliers of highest-quality components. They become our regular, longstanding customers because our service is so flexible and our communication so responsive. And our partner, IMMS, has exactly the same appeal. In this partnership, not only are we able to rely on consistently high quality, dependability on delivery dates and flexible responses when customised changes are needed, but we benefit all round because IMMS proactively contributes ideas and suggestions for improvement. We can thus recommend the Institute unreservedly as a provider of testing services to industry.“
