ERETEC INC.: Keep the DUT in Place. Let the Robot Move

Published

on

By

ERETEC INC. has launched ERE-PT130, a mobile robot-based EMC measurement automation solution designed to extend automated testing beyond the fixed reach of a robotic arm. By keeping the DUT stationary while moving the robot base, the system enables Full Test-Area Automation across the test table while improving measurement repeatability and operational efficiency.

ERETEC INC. launches ‘ERE-PT130,’ an EMC robot system that automates the entire test table.

Mobile robot base overcomes the working-radius limits of fixed robots optimized for ISO 11452-9 Portable Transmitters immunity testing.

±0.05 mm high-precision control resolves the EMC testing bottleneck of the vehicle electrification era.

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ERETEC INC. (CEO: Man-Young Chi), a company specializing in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test and measurement solutions, has launched ‘ERE-PT130,’ a new automated measurement system based on mobile robot base technology. Unlike conventional fixed robots, which can only operate within the reach of their robotic arm, the system keeps the DUT (Device Under Test) stationary while the robot itself moves, achieving “Full Test-Area Automation” across the entire test table. It is optimized for the ISO 11452-9 standard and features high-precision control accurate to ±0.05 mm, a collision-detection safety system, and integration with TOYO software. By minimizing operator intervention, the system ensures both measurement repeatability and throughput.

“ERE-PT130 expands automation beyond the robot arm’s reach, covering the entire test table while the DUT stays fixed, with minimal operator intervention for more consistent testing.”

As automotive electrification accelerates, the growing number of electronic components and wiring systems in vehicles has driven up the number of measurement points required in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The industry has increasingly adopted robot-based automated measurement systems, but most fixed robots are limited to the reach of their robotic arm and therefore cannot cover the entire test table. For areas beyond the robot’s reach, the test object (EUT/DUT) still had to be repositioned or measured manually by test personnel.

ERETEC INC. turned this challenge on its head. Instead of moving the DUT, the robot base itself moves to reach the required positions across the test area. According to the company, this moves beyond conventional “semi-automated robotic testing,” which is constrained by the robot arm’s working radius, achieving “Full Test-Area Automation” across the entire test table. ERETEC INC. announced on the 1st that it has officially launched ERE-PT130, which embodies this concept.

What’s Different? “Not the Robot’s Performance, but the Space It Can Move In

“ERETEC INC. CEO Man-Young Chi said, “Until now, automated test equipment has largely focused on ‘how precise the robot is.’ In actual test environments, however, the value of automation was often diminished by areas the robot simply could not reach.” He added, “ERE-PT130 is a product that expands not the robot’s performance but the ‘space’ in which the robot can move and in that it can cover the entire test table even while the DUT remains fixed, it represents a fundamentally different approach from conventional automation equipment.”

The change in how testing itself is conducted is just as important. Repeated operator intervention inevitably introduces slight variations between measurements, but ERE-PT130 minimizes manual handling so that measurements are performed under the same conditions every time. This not only improves the repeatability and reliability of results because human intervention is minimized, it also enables faster, more precise repeat measurements, delivering higher productivity in terms of throughput per unit of time compared with conventional methods.

Key Specifications: ±0.05 mm Control and a Collision-Detection Safety System

ERE-PT130 provides a flexible automated testing environment optimized for ISO 11452-9, the immunity test standard for radiated fields from portable transmitters, as applied to automotive components. Through high-speed, high-precision motion control and antenna coordinate recognition technology, it supports a range of measurement modes, including 2D and 3D curved-surface measurements.

– Robotic Arm: A 10 kg payload capacity and 1,300 mm working radius, combined with a mobile-base design, allow flexible deployment and operation tailored to the test object and environment

– Precision Control: ±0.05 mm high-precision control ensures reliable repeat measurements

– Safety: A collision-detection system built on sensitive detection sensors enhances safety for both test personnel and equipment

– Noise Isolation: Each of the four antennas, one per measurement frequency band, is equipped with an independently controlled positioning unit; power is cut once positioning is complete, eliminating noise at the source

– Software Integration: Integrates with software based on technology from TOYO, a Japanese company specializing in EMC measurement automation software, to support automation of signal generators and other test equipment

First Unveiled at a Seminar, Demo Requests Follow “No Manual Handling, Even for Long Harnesses”

ERETEC INC. first unveiled the Full Test-Area Automation concept at the “Automotive EMC Test Solution 2026 Seminar” held in May. Around 50 representatives from automakers, automotive parts companies, and measurement, testing, and certification organizations attended and observed a live demonstration of the mobile robot base in action, with attendees remarking that the ability to measure even long harness sections without manual intervention was particularly impressive. An ERETEC INC. representative said, “Since the seminar, we have received demonstration requests from multiple companies wanting to see the solution in actual test environments,” adding, “Based on this market response, we’re also looking at expanding our lineup to fit test environments across a range of industries.”

KuCoin Australia MD James Pinch at Crypto Winter 2026: Trust and Familiarity Will Shape the Future of Agentic Commerce

Published

on

By

QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — James Pinch, Managing Director of KuCoin in Australia, spoke at Crypto Winter 2026 in Queenstown, on a panel titled “Stablecoins and Agentic AI: powering the future of online commerce.” Moderated by Jasmine Wilson, the session examined what agentic finance looks like in practice and what must be true for it to scale safely.

Pinch said the strongest live use of agent-initiated stablecoin payments is still narrow and mostly invisible: machines buying inputs from other machines, in small amounts and at high frequency, with no person involved. What is new, he argued, is not speed but the transaction models these payments enable.

On where exchanges fit, he described three unglamorous but unavoidable functions: someone has to hold the asset, someone has to move between an on-chain dollar and the currency people pay their rent in, and someone has to know who that person is. “A blockchain can show where value moved, but it cannot, by itself, establish who is behind every wallet,” he said. He noted that KuCoin’s Australian entity is AUSTRAC-registered and AFSL-licensed, and that Australia’s incoming Digital Assets Framework will formalise that.

Asked whether stablecoins would be used on-chain or sit behind familiar payment experiences, Pinch said the rail matters less than the behaviour. He pointed to KuCard, where a customer holds USDC, taps their phone, and the payment completes over the card rails they already use. “The shift that matters is behavioural, not technical,” he said. “People adopt payment methods that require the least of them.”

He closed on recourse. People use cards, he argued, because they know what happens when something goes wrong: the card is stolen, they ring the bank, and there is a chargeback. “That is the product. The rail is incidental.” No equivalent exists yet for stablecoin or agent-initiated payments, which makes present caution reasonable rather than irrational. “This is not a question of whether it happens, but how long it takes. Until there is somewhere to go when something goes wrong, adoption will be slow.”
