Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced programming and IP management solutions for flash, flash-memory based intelligent devices and microcontrollers, announces that it has been awarded a 2015 EM Asia Innovation Award in the category of Programming Systems for its PSV3000 automated programming system. The award was presented to the company during an April 22, 2015 ceremony at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center during NEPCON China.
“We are thrilled to be honored with EM Asia’s Innovation Award for Programming Systems,” said Ching Ma, General Manager, Data I/O China. “Customers in Asia are faced with increasing pressure to reduce labor costs and increase quality. The PSV3000’s innovative design, system integration and attractive price enable customers to achieve the lowest total cost per programmed part with an automated programming system.”
The PSV3000 combines FlashCORE III, trusted programming engine with intelligent system design and robotics handling integration for high programming yield and system reliability. It offers the lowest total cost of programming per programmed part compared to manual programming and alternative methods. Additionally, the PSV3000 can program up to 1300 devices/hour with tray, tape and tube.
The PSV3000 was designed by Data I/O’s local China engineering team to meet the needs of Chinese and Asian local manufacturers moving from manual to automated programming. With local labor rates rising, the PSV3000 significantly reduces the total cost of programming compared to a manual programming process while delivering the highest quality.
