      LotC is a game-changer for hardware validation and system design. With instant access to real semiconductor evaluation kits, you can make faster, data-driven decisions, test product capabilities thoroughly, and optimize designs with ease.

      Remote, Instant Access to a Real Hardware Lab

      Accelerate evaluation timelines by getting results in 1-3 days instead of traditional 30-day evaluations, while eliminating hardware procurement delays through remote testing of live ICs and EVKs. This approach also reduces costs by removing the need for expensive in-house lab setups. With 24/7 connectivity to a cloud-based evaluation lab, you can perform real physical validation of ICs, modules, and EVKs against datasheet specifications from anywhere, at any time. Remote access removes the need for physical presence, and the live video feed ensures a complete hands-on evaluation experience, offering real-time visual feedback and interaction with the hardware being tested.

      Advanced Testing and Performance Validation

      Improve design accuracy by gaining deeper insights through real-time validation with LotC, which enables precise monitoring and control of electronic instruments, power supplies, sensors, and peripherals. The platform allows you to evaluate semiconductor modules and EVKs deployed in the cloud as a golden reference design, providing data-rich insights and real-time monitoring of critical parameters, ensuring accurate and comprehensive performance validation for optimal design outcomes.

      Streamlined Evaluation Process and Intuitive Platform

      Speed up product development and reduce time-to-market with streamlined testing that features pre-configured standard evaluation tests for quick analysis. Users can easily download test data and progress logs for later interpretation, while the live video feed and customizable UI deliver an immersive lab experience. The built-in reservation system efficiently schedules evaluation slots, and the platform supports multiple languages to cater to a global user base. An interactive user feedback system ensures continuous improvements to the lab environment, enhancing overall efficiency and user satisfaction.

      Knowledge Assistance and Comprehensive Resources

      An integrated knowledge assistant streamlines the navigation of datasheets and technical documentation, making it effortless for users to find the information they need. The platform offers a centralized resource hub with user manuals, demo videos, purchase links, and lab guides, all in one place. It also encourages community engagement through comments and feedback, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Furthermore, users can access webinars and learning sessions led by industry experts, enhancing their expertise and knowledge.

      Renesas' Lab on the Cloud is a remote test lab that users can access 24/7 to explore their proof-of-concept boards and drive system functionality. The proof-of-concept boards and advanced test instruments are connected directly through the cloud and can be monitored through live video streaming. Engineers can leverage an easy-to-use graphical user interface to remotely control boards and equipment from anywhere. Save time and jump-start your design today.
