Fujitsu and HTV extend On-Site-Programming® Lab Partnership

Collaboration will offer FSEU and its clients lower costs, shorter pass through and adaption rates with HTV-On-Site Programming®

Langen and Bensheim, Germany, 17 November 2011

Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe (FSEU) and HTV, a high performance centre for electronic components, today announce an extended partnership for the first On-Site Programming lab for FSEU. HTV installed the lab at the beginning of 2011 at the Fujitsu campus in Langen and linked it to the HTV data center. HTV employees are now programming microcontrollers on site. Lower overall costs, shorter turn-around times and quicker adaption are advantages not only for FSEU but also for its clients.

HTV and Fujitsu have been collaborating 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.

More about HTV – On-Site Programming®
To deploy HTV – On Site Programming, customers need to provide infrastructure such as on site premises, compressed air as well as energy. Machines and staff are provided by HTV, capacity extensions are possible. As a result its save on staff and maintenance while benefitting from the flexibility of in-house programming. Should customers require very large quantities at short notice, HTV can backup orders with its programming capacities of more than 750,000 units per day at its own facility in Bensheim.
