Job Composer bridges the gap in managing large files and complex semiconductor settings from first article production to manufacturing for a global supply chain  

Redmond, WA, January 31, 2019 – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced data and security programming solutions for flash, flash-memory based intelligent devices and microcontrollers, is pleased to announce that it has received a 2019 NPI Award in the category of Device Programming for the new Job Composer Software Application for the LumenX programming engine.  The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2019 ceremony that took place at the San Diego Convention Center during the IPC APEX EXPO. 

“Automotive electronics manufacturers are challenged to manage the rapid growth of file sizes driven by the autonomous and connected car and distribute up to a hundred or more these software variants across a global supply chain,” said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation.  “Job Composer streamlines this process enabling customers to streamline, manage and control the job creation process from a central design location and transfer the job configuration to the local production site for final compilation at the time of programming.

Data I/O’s Job Composer Software is designed to solve the problems that OEMs and Programming Centers face when managing large files, complex semiconductor device settings, tens to hundreds of code variants and device expertise in order to create a programming job. It enables electronic manufacturers to streamline the programming job creation process by simplifying this management, improve transferring the job from design/First Article to production dispersed in different factories and geographies, and minimizing opportunities for human error. 

Job Composer is ideal for customers with a globally dispersed supply chain or customers managing code variants and last-minute software changes.  The software is an integrated plug-in application into the LumenX Data Management Software Suite. 

The Job Composer Software Application for the LumenX programming engine is supported in Data I/O’s PSV7000 and PSV5000 automated programming systems.  The combination of the Job Composer Software Application with the LumenX programming technology in the PSV7000 and PSV5000 delivers an integrated solution bridging the gap from the design/First Article process to the manufacturing process enabling customers to create and program these extremely large files on the industry’s the fastest handling and programming speed with the largest capacity, flexibility and fast changeover for the lowest total cost of ownership with the highest quality.  

Premiering in 2008, the NPI Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
