Original Press Release:
Arendar 2005 Test Data Management Software Introduces Test Data Web Portal
New Version Adds SPC Analysis, Open Architecture, Legacy Test System Integration and Metadata Support to Test Data Management
AUSTIN, Texas (September 20, 2004) - - VI Technology, Inc. announced today at Autotestcon the newest version of it's Arendar® 2005 enterprise test data management software that delivers global visibility to design characterization and manufacturing data and reports. With Arendar, engineers and managers gain insight into their design and manufacturing operations and use information from their test data to achieve lower design, manufacturing and support costs.
Enhancements to this new version include:
o Web Portal: Arendar's web interface is enhanced to provide a center for viewing and maintaining test result, test system, and product information:
- Statistical Process Control (SPC) Analysis (including Variable Control Charts, Attribute Control Charts, Pareto Charts, Process Capability Analysis, and Run Charts)
- User-based creation of custom reports (including Yield reports, Trend reports, and SPC reports with manager input of only key parameters)
- Graphical drill-down web reporting capability
- Distributed update of test stations and clients across global locations
- 2x increase in performance of data access with SQL Server and Oracle databases
o Open Architecture: The Arendar Web Portal and .NET client applications have a documented open architecture so that developers can customize the interface to their specific needs. Developers can write plug-ins to develop unique analysis capabilities and proprietary reports that are integrated into Arendar.
o Query Browser: Advanced users can now use the Query Browser to create sophisticated search criteria in SQL or OQL and integrate the query into 3rd party software products.
o DIAdem Enhancements: DIAdem users can now take advantage of the DIAdem's string channel and channel group capabilities with Arendar.
o Interactive and Batch Import of Legacy Data: The Arendar Import Wizard reads legacy data files in ASCII, Excel, and Access formats and takes a user through a series of steps to import the files into Arendar. Arendar also integrates with legacy automated test systems that write these data formats and automatically imports their results data at run time without requiring any changes to the test systems' software.
o TestStand Integration: Arendar's integration into TestStand is improved so that users can use custom step types selected from TestStand menus to map data between TestStand and Arendar.
o Metadata Support: Arendar has the ability to store metadata including file links and file information to manage all files types associated with a test. By storing metadata information for image (.jpg, .gif, tiff, . . .), document (.pdf, .doc, . . .), and analysis (.xls) files, you can quickly find the file using Arendar's Web Portal that meets specified search criteria and display the file using the file's native software application.
"Our vision with Arendar continues to be to offer the most easy to use and configure, full-featured enterprise test data solution at a price all organizations can afford" says Richard House, President of VI Technology. "Adding the new Arendar 2005 features to the previous version's graphical database configuration, fail-safe data transfers, and scalable licensing makes Arendar the best solution for analyzing test data so that companies can make intelligent decisions to improve their design and manufacturing operations."
Available now, pricing for Arendar Desktop Edition is $3995. Arendar Enterprise Edition starts at $9995. Subscribers to the Arendar Software Subscription Program (SSP) receive upgrades for free.
