The automated bench that tests, wipes and images our own refurb inventory is available as a service. Hand us a pallet of machines or a stack of retired network gear; get back tested, wiped, imaged or reflashed units with a per-serial report for every one. Built for resellers, schools, offices mid-refresh, and IT shops without a deployment bench of their own.
Every unit gets the same intake our own stock gets: boot/POST verification, a full SMART sweep on storage, memory test, battery health on laptops, ports and display checked, burn-in on request. Out the other side: a per-serial condition report (CSV or PDF) with pass/fail and a grade, so you know what you actually have before you sell it, deploy it, or scrap it.
Network-boot deployment, not a USB stick walked machine to machine. Windows 10/11 (debloated, fully patched, drivers in, ready for first-boot or domain join) or any major Linux distro. Firmware config comes with it on Dell fleets: asset tags, boot order, Secure Boot, Wake-on-LAN set from the command line, consistently, on every box.
A reference image built to your spec: base OS (Windows or Linux), your applications preloaded, settings and policy baseline applied, updates slipstreamed, unattended-install answer files included. Delivered as a deployable image plus the automation and documentation to apply it, so your team can re-deploy without calling us back.
NIST 800-88 aligned wipes (clear or purge, whatever the media supports), verified, with a serial-matched wipe report for every drive. Drives that fail verification get flagged and pulled; physical destruction or return-to-you, your call. Pairs with testing or imaging, or runs as its own job.
Access points, switches and cellular routers coming out of service: factory reset with stored configuration and credentials cleared, firmware updated, or retired enterprise access points reflashed to open firmware (OpenWrt) so they work without the vendor's controller. Each unit is powered and tested as a working device and logged against its serial.
Tell us the lot size, hardware mix, and what "done" looks like: tested, wiped, imaged, reflashed, or all of it. You get a per-unit number, not a sales call.
Drop off at the shop in Frankford, Philadelphia, or we pick up locally in the area. Freight works for bigger lots.
The automated pipeline does the work (diagnostics, wipes, network-boot imaging, firmware config), logging every step against each serial.
Units returned with the per-serial report. Golden-image jobs also ship the image artifact, answer files, and docs.
This isn't a service invented for a brochure. The pipeline (PXE network deployment, IP-KVM control of headless machines, scripted BIOS configuration, automated SMART sweeps) exists because we run pallets of surplus through it for the shop. Recent runs on our own stock: 27 Dell OptiPlex desktops wiped, imaged to Windows 11, tested and listed, and 36 enterprise Wi-Fi access points reflashed to OpenWrt and tested as clean units. You get the same per-serial logs we trust when we put a machine up for sale under our own name.
Volume-priced per unit: most testing, wipe, and imaging work lands in the $10–30/unit range depending on depth and lot size. Golden images are flat-bid per image. If a lot isn't worth running, we'll say so at scoping: the same "honest no" the repair bench gives.
