S3 Group and Teleplan have announced Sky Italia is to extend its after-market supply chain services relationship with Teleplan to include automated set-top box testing and screening using S3 Group’s StormTest Decision Line.
Teleplan already provides testing, repair, refurbishment and spare parts management services to Sky Italia. Introduction of automated screening will enable the Teleplan solution to detect if set-top boxes need to be repaired at the beginning of the service chain, ensuring maximum efficiency and reduced inventory needs.
S3 Group research has shown that StormTest Decision Line can catch up to eight percent more faulty boxes than would be found by purely manual testing during device screening which results in massive operational cost savings and increased quality of outcome.
