Wipro Tech sets up product test facility

Besides testing for Wipro's products, the facility would also offer third party product testing services

 

Wipro Technologies has set up a product qualification and compliance certification facility here ( Bangalore) that would strengthen its R&D services portfolio besides helping customers such as Texas Instruments and Harman International to test their products while reducing their time-to-market.

 

The company has invested $5 million in the test facility - Tarang and plans to invest another $5 million over the next few years, said Girish Paranjpe, Joint CEO, Wipro Technologies. Besides testing the products that Wipro builds for its customers, the facility would also offer third party product testing services.

 

"Tarang would be available as a lab-on-hire for product development companies and will provide a one stop for solution offering consultancy, pre-compliance testing and certification services in areas of mechanical, thermal, acoustic, safety and reliability," Paranjpe said. Wipro is expecting a return on investment over three to five years, he said.

 

The facility is equipped to test electronic products in aerospace, automotive, computing, consumer electronics, industrial automation, medical electronics and telecommunication industries.
