GOEPEL Launches Cooperation Network With EMS Partner Program

“The cooperation network particularly aims for improving the interaction between development and production in order to provide a better understanding of the respective requirements“, says Enrico Lusky, Sales Manager Germany with GOEPEL electronic. “Our program partners will have the opportunities to respond more quickly to customer needs. This will result in shorter test and programming times and increased fault coverage, which leads to decreasing costs in electronics production.”

“In addition to jointly performed technology workshops, seminars or webinars, the newly established certification program is the cooperation network’s core”, adds Jan Heiber, Manager of GOEPEL electronic’s JTAG/Boundary Scan Application Division. “As a consequence, we are able to directly pass on our knowledge on efficient utilization of newest test and programming technologies to our EMS partners.”

Interested EMS companies may select between a ‘Standard Membership’ and a ‘Certified Membership’. Completing a certification program is the precondition to obtain the status of a certified cooperation partner – the achieved status is based on the active certificates of the participating employee.

The certification program is customized to future application purposes. It comprises intensive training for several days dealing with the theoretical principles of JTAG/Boundary Scan and pursuing Embedded System Access technologies (VarioTAP, ChipVORX…) as well as practical work with example projects. The final assessment, verifying the learning progress, is a substantial part of the certification.
