The On-Going Reliability Test (ORT) is a hardware test process used in manufacturing to ensure that the quality of Viking Technology's products maintain the same specifications as the day it first went to production. Viking Technology products that are currently in the manufacturing line are randomly picked every day with a predefined percentage, or numbers, and then put in a environmental chamber that provides the stress profile of thermal cycling, elevated temperature, or combined environmental stresses to induce fatigue damage. The profile is intended to stimulate the precipitation of latent defects that may be introduced from the manufacturing process. Quality of the product is then measured with the results of this test. If a unit fails, it goes under investigation to see what caused the failure and then remove the cause whether it came from an assembly process or from a component being incorrectly manufactured. If a real failure occurs, the batch of units that were produced, along with the failed unit, are sent back for re-test or repair to either verify or fix the problem.
