Design Of Test Status Monitoring System For Personal Computer Mass Production

Monitoring the test status is the important part in the personal computerproduction.It can catch the test status of tested PC exactly.The development of thetechnology and the requirement of the PC factory have promoted the development ofthe Test Monitoring System.PC’s quality is the lifeline of IT companies whose productis PC. To ensure product quality，every PC needs to be tested rigorously. How to obtainthe status of each test PC timely and accurately is the most important process in all ofthe test processes. In the mass production process, on-site monitoring by staff willcause significant increase of labor costs. By video band spitting equipment willachieve cost savings in manpower requirements, but the equipment costs are high, andequipment is easily damaged. Due to the fast development of new interface technologyof IT products, the expansion range of video monitoring equipment is limited.Therefore the monitoring system of test status becomes a research direction.The development of network communication technology has facilitated thepromotion of network monitoring. In this paper, a real-time networking monitor systemis built for IT companies PC production process. The system can achieve real-timemonitoring test status of every PC under test. The concept of this monitor system is notthe ordinary video surveillance cameras. It is built by development of software andnetwork communication technologies. This paper focuses on the building of productionline of Local Area Network, the device configuration, selection of network protocol,selection of security solutions, network monitoring program development. Thedifficulty is to achieve real-time correspondence in switch port and test PC by usingswitch system. When the system is running, more than a hundred of test PC status canbe shown the same time on the same one monitor. This system will save manpower andimprove efficiency.
