Automation platform

Albismart

The in-house platform that automates how we receive, test, repair, configure and ship every device. Fewer manual steps, the same standard on every unit, and a complete record for every serial number.

Why we built it

One system from intake to dispatch

At scale, quality depends on process, not on individual effort. Albismart is our proprietary platform for industrial management: it turns our repair and refurbishment know-how into guided, automated workflows that every technician and every shift follows in exactly the same way.

Every scan, test, repair and movement is recorded against the device's serial number. That gives our team real-time tracking on the floor, AI-driven performance data to improve yields, and you clear, reliable data on every unit you send us.

Traceable

Full history per serial number.

Consistent

One test standard for every unit.

Fast

Automated steps, shorter queues.

Visible

Live status on every order.

How it works

Six controlled steps, fully tracked

Every device follows the same path. Albismart decides what happens next based on the data from the previous step.

  1. Intake

    Devices are received, scanned and registered by serial number. Condition and accessories are logged on arrival.

  2. Diagnostics

    Automated test routines identify faults and record the full functional status of each device.

  3. Repair

    Technicians receive guided work orders based on the diagnostic results. Parts used are logged per unit.

  4. QC

    Every unit is re-tested and graded against defined criteria. Only devices that pass move forward.

  5. Provisioning

    Software, settings and enrolment are applied to your specification, and each device is labelled.

  6. Dispatch

    Units are packed, linked to orders and shipped, with tracking data shared automatically.

Testing racks

Many devices, tested in parallel

Albismart drives our modular testing racks, where many devices are tested side by side. Each slot reports its own status, so technicians see at a glance what passed, what failed and what is still running.

  • Automatic recognition of each device model
  • Slot-level status: pass, fail, running or empty
  • Touchscreen control and wireless barcode scanning
  • Device-specific fixtures and interfaces for each model

Test coverage

What we test on every device

The exact automation depends on the device model, the access we have and the configurations the customer provides.

Provisioning

  • DHCP, TFTP, HTTP(S)
  • NTP, USB or multicast
  • Telnet / SSH
  • SNMP / TR-069 where supported

Functional QA

  • Power and boot behaviour
  • Firmware loading
  • Ethernet and HDMI output
  • Remote control
  • Portal and channel playback*

Traceability

  • Serial and MAC registration
  • Barcode scanning
  • Inventory synchronisation
  • Batch-level reporting
  • Pass/fail documentation

* Portal and channel playback tests need the middleware address, access credentials and test streams from the customer.

Set-top boxes

Set-top boxes, validated side by side

Central Linux provisioning runs alongside device-level checks, so a whole bench of set-top boxes is updated and validated at the same time.

  1. Provision and initialise
  2. Firmware loading, recovery and reset
  3. Boot and HDMI output
  4. Ethernet and middleware connection
  5. Remote-control checks
  6. Logs and a pass/fail record for every unit

Capabilities

What Albismart does on the floor

Serial-level traceability

Every scan, test result and part is recorded, and devices are linked to boxes, boxes to pallets and pallets to orders.

Automated testing

Standardised test sequences run with minimal manual input and no skipped steps.

Guided workflows

Technicians see the next action for each device, based on its data.

Live dashboards & reporting

Order progress, yields and turnaround times, visible as work happens.

Rules-based grading

Cosmetic and functional grades follow defined criteria, not individual opinion.

Reports & exports

Searchable device records, fault trends and batch reports, exported to CSV or your own format.
