Fujitsu and HTV extend On-Site-Programming Lab Partnership

HTV and Fujitsu have been collaboration on microcontroller programming for more than ten years. The new programming lab is installed inside a Fujitsu building in Langen seamlessly connected to Fujitsu’s processes through smart interfaces.

The lab is directly connected to the HTV data center, the set-up of the programming systems is fully automated and barcode controlled to ensure correct programming results of all components at all times. In addition, 3D lead inspection systems control the coplanarity of the connector pins which is a prerequisite for high quality solder connections. Programmed components are packed either on trays or reels and are passed on to the next process step.

HTV On-Site-Programming offers valuable benefits to Fujitsu and its clients. Logistics costs, packaging and order processing have been reduced significantly. Programming orders can be processed much faster as HTV technicians in Langen exclusively handle Fujitsu projects. Programming algorithms can be developed and deployed quickly by HTV. Adaption times with regards to new processes were reduced from often several months to weeks or days. Changes of software or components can be implemented immediately without delays. Capturing and storing all component codes and batch codes during the programming process enables a consistent traceability
