Human subjectivity and speed are limiting factors. With humans conducting cosmetic grading and functional testing, variability is unavoidable. In-depth analysis shows manual testing assigns an inaccurate cosmetic grade roughly half of the time.
Automation, backed by human skills and insight, brings objective, accurate, and repeatable data to guide secondary device choices.
Apkudo’s automation solutions can be configured to fit a range of processing volumes.
Standalone automation units can support processing needs where the expected volume is 30 devices per hour or more.
Apkudo’s full automation line solves the needs of highly consolidated device return centers, with an average monthly return volume of 100,000 devices or more.
Delivery and installation of the automation equipment is managed by Apkudo, with clear collaboration along the way. Implementation and calibration of the equipment is a guided process, expedited by an expert team and an expansive global device library to jump-start the process.
Based on your needs, we will also collaborate to connect processing data and diagnostic results available through the Apkudo Platform with your internal systems.
