The Cost of Inadequate Validation in Consumer Electronics
Design times are shrinking, but product complexity is increasing. Devices are integrating more technologies into smaller footprints, with stringent constraints on RF performance, detection accuracy and power safety.
Traditional test methods can't keep up. As production ramps up, even minor variations (operator error, process drift, upstream inconsistencies) can compromise performance. Certification requirements only raise the bar even higher.
Averna fills these gaps with precision and automated test systems for modern consumer electronics, providing full coverage. With our support, manufacturers are sure to reduce their time-to-market costs and improve their bottom line.
Averna’s Leading Test Solutions for Consumer Electronics
We build platforms that adapt to emerging use cases, whether for lens stacks or embedded antennas, as well as high-speed PCBs and inertial sensor arrays in AR/VR devices. We also help verify firmware behavior across hardware variants, and support integration of secure update processes for traceable validation of embedded software.

Why Trust our Expertise at Averna
With over 25 years designing advanced test and measurement systems, Averna supports the leading consumer electronics brands across North America, Europe, and Asia. Our platforms are deployed globally in high-volume facilities, directly integrated into the workflows of contract manufacturers and OEMs.
Certification-ready by design
Our platforms are customized to align with international compliance frameworks: CE, FCC, UL, ISO 17025, IEC, and others. We design for real-world enforcement, with test capabilities that anticipate wireless certification challenges, EMC thresholds, and market-specific safety marks.
ROI you can measure
The value of our systems lies in what they help eliminate: unnecessary test time, instability in yields, and untracked failure modes. Our clients rely on consistent, data-rich reporting to fine-tune operations and secure smooth scale-up from pilot to production.
Support beyond delivery
Test systems must adapt as products evolve. Our test engineering experts can provide on-site training, fixture maintenance, software updates, and remote diagnostics. Our systems are designed for durability, but also for adaptability: retrofits and firmware upgrades, along with modular replacements when needed, are all part of the long-term lifecycle.
Averna also supports long-term evolution of your test architecture, accommodating new features, environmental test add-ons, and evolving compliance protocol without redesigning your entire system.
Global execution at scale
We deploy fully configured test stations (build-to-print and application-specific) directly to global production sites and contract manufacturers.
Each installation is supported by our regional engineering teams, ensuring synchronized ramp-up and consistent test performance across facilities. Our integration teams are accustomed to navigating high-throughput environments under tight timelines, without compromising validation integrity.
They trusted us
