A global automotive electronics manufacturer faced bottlenecks and rising costs from programming-at-test on their SMT lines. Large file sizes slowed throughput, required expensive ICT fixtures, and increased the risk of downtime. Learn how they achieved: 💡 Reduced fixture costs and saved $200,000 across multiple SMT lines 📈 Increased production rate by 15% with offline file handling 🔁 Gained flexibility to adapt to schedule changes and new product designs Download the case study to see how a shift in strategy helped this manufacturer optimize production and reduce cost. ## About Data I/O Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO) is the leading global provider of advanced data and security programming solutions for flash, flash-memory based intelligent devices and microcontrollers for automotive, Internet-of-Things, medical, wireless, consumer electronics, industrial controls, and other markets.
