POWERED BY THE INNOVATION HUB
Partnering up-SMART MOVE?
We think so!
SEW-EURODRIVE and Palitronica partnered to demonstrate that Anvil can identify boards with common
manufacturing issues, connected to the board through only an existing connector.
This demonstration involved:
- Building an adapter to an existing connector on the MOVIMOT® (gearmotor) printed circuit board BG2
- Training the Anvil Checkpoint on “known good” boards
- Testing random devices to show that Anvil can identify boards with known defects
- Eliminates the need for custom fixtures and extensive programming.
- Detects a broad range of defects, fraud, and oversights, even those ICT and AOI miss.
- Offers scalable, cost-effective testing that simplifies quality assurance for diverse product lines.
This breakthrough technology provides faster, more reliable, and more secure electronics
testing, empowering manufacturers to ensure product integrity without the constraints of
traditional methods.

About Palitronica.
Palitronica provides quality assurance, cybersecurity, and testing solutions for manufacturers and purchasers of electronics. A proponent of the Zero Trust Supply Chain, Palitronica leverages a state-of-the-art physics-based approach to help guard against operational disruptions, reputation damage, and financial losses. With customers in automotive, aerospace, government, and defense, the company offers solutions to detect manufacturing defects, counterfeits, knock-offs, as well as malicious hardware and software attacks.
Palitronica’s Anvil Checkpoint is a benchtop testing system that verifies that your electronics are good in one easy step. It uses physics and AI to catch the hardest-to-identify defects, oversights, and fraud.
Innovating in electronics testing and quality:
Traditional electronics testing methods—In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), and Flying Probe Testing—haven’t kept pace with modern manufacturing demands. These solutions are expensive, complex, and require specialized expertise, making them inefficient at scale.
ICT, the most widely used method, has significant drawbacks:
- Requires extensive test points and custom “bed of nails” fixtures for each
product, leading to high costs and long setup times. - Only detects specific, pre-programmed faults, missing counterfeit
components or unexpected issues. - Poses security risks, as test setups expose sensitive design details.
For manufacturers producing hundreds or thousands of products, ICT’s reliance on unique
fixtures results in logistical and financial burdens, as they must invest in and maintain
numerous test setups.
A new testing method for electronic printed circuit boards (MOVIMOT® printed circuit board BG2), components, and products using RF signals and machine learning has been developed. This innovative testing method represents a significant advancement in the quality control of electronic products, ensuring higher reliability and performance across various applications.
Palitronica’s Anvil Checkpoint is a benchtop testing system verifies that your electronics
are good in one easy step. It uses physics and AI to catch the hardest to identify defects,
oversights, and fraud.
Providing both quality assurance and cyber material assurance, Anvil is:
- Broad-spectrum – identifies ANY difference
- Flexible and re-usable across products – can use existing connectors
- Fully blackbox – no knowledge of the target or programming required
With Anvil, you establish a “good” profile and catch any variations, down to the silicon!
