Overview
This service offers companies in the agrifood sector a structured assessment of their physical hardware, its integration with other systems, and its communication interfaces. The focus is on validating whether the equipment complies with customer-defined requirements or with relevant technical standards, ensuring that potential issues are identified early. By testing compatibility and integration aspects, the service helps your company to refine your products, reduce the risk of failures during deployment, and prepare their solutions for smooth adoption in operational environments. The outcome is practical guidance to align products with the market’s technical and operational expectations.
More about the service
How can the service help you?
The service directly addresses a key customer need: knowing whether their hardware complies with specific requirements. This may include standards for communication protocols, hardware integration rules, or conditions imposed by end-users. If gaps are identified, recommendations are provided on how to adapt the design to reach compliance. This reduces uncertainty, avoids costly redesigns, and accelerates market readiness. Importantly, the service does not issue legal certifications but offers technical validation to support decision-making.
How the service will be delivered
The service is delivered in the form of a detailed report. Depending on the type of analysis, the evaluation may require the presence of the physical equipment at TEF facilities for testing, or it may be based only on the technical documentation provided by the customer. The timeline varies from several weeks to a few months, depending on hardware complexity. The final report specifies whether the equipment complies with the relevant requirements or standards and, if not, proposes clear actions to achieve compliance.
Service customisation
Gradiant can tailor the service to customer needs. For example, focusing on a particular communication interface (such as Modbus, CAN bus, or wireless protocols), checking hardware integration into robotic or AI-based systems, or validating performance against specific customer-defined requirements. The main limitation is that the service provides only technical validation. It does not replace legal or regulatory certification processes.
