Equipment & Process Reliability Testing in Automation System Testing

Ensure every automated process functions flawlessly with our end-to-end testing solutions that optimize system uptime and integrity.

Overview

Automation System Testing for Equipment & Process Reliability Testing by Manufacturing EnviroTest ensures seamless functionality, integration, and safety of complex automated systems. Designed for modern industrial environments, our testing solutions validate control logic, system interfaces, and fail-safes to detect faults before they lead to costly breakdowns or quality issues. Whether you’re commissioning a new system or maintaining an existing one, we provide accurate, repeatable testing across mechanical, electrical, and software layers.

Headquartered in Seattle, WA, Manufacturing EnviroTest is an industry leader in innovative and reliable testing technologies. Our advanced product development, QA excellence, and customer-first approach help businesses across North America achieve superior operational reliability. By collaborating with GAO Tek and GAO RFID, we amplify the reach and value of our automation testing solutions.

Case Studies

United States – Texas

A food processing plant in Texas integrated our automation system testing into their packaging lines. Manufacturing EnviroTest’s tools identified a misconfigured safety relay and timing conflict in conveyor logic, reducing system faults by 45% over six months.

United States – Ohio

A major tire manufacturer in Ohio applied our testing solutions during a factory automation upgrade. Our validation platform caught discrepancies in the I/O mapping early, saving the company from a delayed go-live and $100,000 in rework costs.

Canada – British Columbia

An energy utility company in British Columbia used our HIL test systems to validate the logic of their power distribution automation. The system simulated power loss scenarios, allowing operators to refine their emergency routines and pass regulatory certification on the first attempt.
