AirFuel ATS

Automated Test System (ATS) is an innovative testing system for certification of wireless charging products, including both chargers and end devices. Test labs or device manufacturers can implement the hardware and software solutions of ATS to verify compliance with AirFuel Alliance’s magnetic resonant standard for wireless power transfer. The tests performed by the ATS system are essential for AirFuel Resonant™ Certification, confirming global interoperability and thereby ensuring that consumers enjoy a consistent wireless charging experience across all certified products bearing the AirFuel brand.

ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

Multi-dimensional Cooperation

  • Creation of Automated Test System (ATS) version 1.0 – Comarch started supporting the AirFuel Alliance organization at the early stage of the resonant technology and entire standard adaptation
  • Design of the complex test system: ATS is an innovative and comprehensive combination of software and hardware elements. Thanks to the Comarch’s wide experience in both hardware production (e.g. creating system simulators or supporting tools from scratch and manufacturing them in our own IoT Plant) and software development (e.g. developing the test engine, synchronization algorithms, and automation of CTS, RAT & IOP test cases)
  • Comarch`s quality assurance and embedded hardware expertise, gained during years of cooperation with large certification bodies, allowed to support AirFuel Alliance’s requirements for its Automated Test System
  • Development of ATS version 2.0 – adaptation of the test system to the latest AirFuel Magnetic Resonance Baseline System Specification
  • Delivering Automated Test System to Airfuel Alliance ATLs (Authorized Testing Laboratories) to verify compliance with the Rezence™ standard. Cooperation also included system support and maintenance, as well as onsite trainings for ATL operators
  • AirFuel Alliance Members Meeting hosted by Comarch – Three days of hands-on demos, case studies, and working sessions about existing and near-future deployments of AirFuel technology (September 2019, Krakow)

Customer Benefits & High Value Functions of Automated Test System Provided by Comarch

  • Modular architecture that makes it easy to adjust and upgrade the test tool to latest standards updates
  • Lower test cases development and test tool maintenance costs 
  • Opportunity to write proprietary test cases using Python 
  • Automatic versioning and common format for test scripts
  • Comprehensive documentation and training for test system users
  • Opportunity to perform pre-certification test runs in development phase
  • Sophisticated and easy-to-use logs viewer and interpreter
  • Environment for IOP Testing

  • Recommendation of the TTA (AFA’s Lead ATL)

    Comarch developed a complex AirFuel Alliance Testing System which consists of the software and hardware parts and allows testing and certification of products that use the Rezence™ standard. Comarch has also provided TTA with a professional training program on our premises in Korea. The training helped TTA understand key aspects of relevant technologies and processes from the perspective of the AirFuel Alliance ATL role.
