In healthcare engineering, precision isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. Directors of Engineering lead global teams and manage complex product lifecycles. They always feel pressure to deliver high-quality, compliant, and innovative solutions.
Historically, companies viewed outsourcing PCB testing as a practical way to manage scale. But today, that model is showing its cracks.
The Real Cost of Outsourced PCB Testing
Outsourcing introduces friction at every stage of the product lifecycle:
- Delays from vendor coordination and logistics slow down development.
- Escalating costs from rework, retesting, and vendor markups eat into margins.
- Limited visibility compromises quality and compliance.
- Fragmented workflows make it harder to scale efficiently across sites.
For healthcare innovators, these aren’t just operational headaches—they’re risks to product integrity, regulatory timelines, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
Engineering Leaders Are Taking Back Control
Forward-looking engineering teams are shifting strategy. They’re bringing test and validation in-house—not just to cut costs, but to gain speed, insight, and control. At the center of this shift is ScanWorks® from ASSET InterTech.
ScanWorks in-house testing highlights fast diagnostics, cost savings, and full control. Ideal for improving electronics testing efficiency and reducing operational costs.
ScanWorks: Built for Engineers. Trusted by Leaders.
ScanWorks is a unified solution for boundary scan testing, in-system programming, and advanced diagnostics. Engineered for enterprise teams, the solution allows for smarter testing, faster movement, and confident building.
✅ Accelerate Fault Isolation
ScanWorks pinpoints failures at the pin, net, or system level—fast. Engineers move from symptom to root cause in record time, reducing debug cycles and keeping programs on track.
✅ Test Across the Lifecycle
From design validation to field diagnostics, ScanWorks delivers consistent, high-resolution test coverage. No blind spots. No guesswork. Just clear insight at every stage.
✅ Save Time and Resources
ScanWorks customers report:
- $596 saved per board assembly
- 409 test hours reclaimed
- $30,000 saved in repair costs per test
That’s not theory—it’s field-proven performance.
✅ Integrate Seamlessly
ScanWorks supports IEEE 1149.x, 1532, 1500/1687, and more. Enabling the user to do BST, interconnect testing, program FPGAs and flash devices from one solution.
✅ Trust the Experts
ASSET InterTech helped pioneer JTAG testing. ScanWorks has decades of innovation and ISO-certified quality. We have a strong record of success in medical and defense sectors. That makes us the trusted choice for high-performance electronics.
Real-World Momentum: The Industry Is Moving
While specific ScanWorks case studies in healthcare remain proprietary, the broader trend is clear. Leading medtech firms are investing in in-house capabilities to gain speed and control. For example:
- A global medical device maker recently changed its pricing and contracting strategy. They used analytics to improve efficiency and profits. This shows the value of handling important operations internally for better insight and flexibility.
- A diagnostics company used internal data platforms to quantify market potential and streamline portfolio management—highlighting the strategic advantage of owning your processes.
These stories echo what ScanWorks delivers: deeper insight, faster execution, and greater control over quality and compliance.
ScanWorks® helps your engineering teams quickly find faults in boards and systems. This speeds up product development and ensures quality and reliability.
