Child Presence Detection - Radio-based life-saving technology to sense occupants.
VitaSense is a system that detects children left in vehicles and provides this information to the vehicle’s warning systems. It detects occupants, including new-borns, based on their movements or breathing – even when they are sleeping.
Using low-power radio frequency (RF) technology, VitaSense transmits a signal that is then reflected by occupants or objects. As, due to their movement, occupants modify these reflected signals differently, the system is able to differentiate between humans and objects.
IPTE developed, manufactured and installed a complete test solution. The whole project, from concept to installation, was coordinated from IPTE’s side by Gunther Boonen – Sales Manager Test and acted as a single contact for IEE.

The IPTE line configuration consists of a MFT19” Tester and 2 ETH test handlers.
The IPTE MFT 19” (Multi-Functional Tester) is the fastest automatic In-Line multiple test handler in the market with an optimized footprint of only 600 mm and a complete Keysight i3070 integration.
The first ETH (Easy Test Handler) is equipped as a flashing station with a SMH Flashrunner 2.0 integration and based on NI TestStand.A generic flash fixture is used.
The second ETH performs the functional testing with 4 DUT’s in parallel.The IPTE ETH is the fastest automatic in-line single test handler with an optimized footprint of only 500 mm.
All IPTE’s machines run on the TS1 platform software for smooth operation. IPTE standard machines, as the MFT and ETH, have the smallest footprint in the world, which reduces considerably the floor space.
As part of the total solution for IEE the fixtures, the ICT test program, the flashing and functional tests are developed and made by IPTE. The MES interface for upper level communication is written by IPTE as well. IPTE delivered a complete integrated solution.
