It is a unique opportunity provided to companies to validate new design platforms and products with other participating companies. Participants can also test their devices with products used as reference devices at Philips Interoperability certification Centre and can book a slot with well-known test tool and equipment manufacturers taking part in the event.
According to Nataraj Kumar, Director, Consumer Lifestyle, Philips Innovation Campus, Bangalore, ‘This Plugfest provides an unique opportunity to test the design implementations against products from other manufacturers, emulating how their products will react in real-life, thus saving cost and time for companies. It will also give a fast feedback on any errors or ambiguities in standards and thus help in improving the quality of the standards’
