Data I/O has signed a definitive agreement to acquire V-TEK, Inc., a leading manufacturer of semiconductor handling and packaging solutions in Mankato, MN, and A&J Programming, a device programming service provider in San Jose, CA. Expected to close this week. na2.hubs.ly/H08v7Qg0 #DAIO #Semiconductor

That’s a wrap on @SMTAorg Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum! 🌍 Thank you to everyone who stopped by. The conversations were great, and it was good to see so much interest in programming and security across Mexico’s electronics manufacturing community. 🏆 A highlight of the week: Data I/O received a 2026 Mexico Technology Award in the Programming category for the LumenX-M4. We’re proud to see LumenX recognized for supporting engineering and NPI teams in the region. None of this happens without strong partners. A big thank you to Kyle Harder of Rich Sales and Javier Rosas of MMS for joining us at the booth and for the local support they bring to manufacturers across Mexico. It was a great week working alongside them, joined by our Dean LoPresti and James England. See everyone next year in Guadalajara! #DAIO #SMTAGuadalajara #DeviceProgramming #ElectronicsManufacturing #UnifiedPlatform

Automated programming at a size that fits. The PSV5000 delivers full LumenX performance in a compact footprint, with room to scale up to 5 engines as volumes grow. Up to 50% lower cost per part vs. manual programming. na2.hubs.ly/H0883TT0 #DAIO #PSV5000 #DeviceProgramming

Headed to @SMTAorg Guadalajara next week! 📍 Find Data I/O at Booth 810 with partners Rich Sales and MMS, October 7 & 8 at Expo Guadalajara. PSV automation, manual programmers, ConneX MES, security provisioning, and Programming as a Service. Stop by and connect. #DAIO #ExpoSMTAGDL2026 #DeviceProgramming

Securing a connected device takes more than a single step. Key injection. Device identity. Firmware authentication. Secure boot. Full audit trail. Data I/O's Secure Data Provisioning covers each step during programming, so every device leaves the factory with a verifiable security record. na2.hubs.ly/H07Z9J90 #DAIO #SecurityProvisioning #DeviceProgramming

Most manufacturers are told there are two ways to give a connected product a secure identity: buy silicon with keys already inside, or build a certificate authority and provisioning operation in house. Both are real paths, though incomplete. There is, however, a third point in the process where a device identity can actually be created: the programming step, on the same equipment that already writes firmware. The debate isn't 'build versus buy', it's finding the one place in the production flow where identity can still be established. The third option, explained in full: na2.hubs.ly/H07Rk8K0 #DAIO #SecurityProvisioning #DeviceProgramming

The EU Cyber Resilience Act is not a proposal working its way through committee. It is already in force, with vulnerability and incident reporting obligations live now, and full conformity required by 11 December 2027. It applies to any connected product sold into the EU market, regardless of where the manufacturer is based. A company headquartered in the US carries the same obligation as one based in Frankfurt, the moment a product ships to a customer in the EU. Preparing now means building device identity, signed firmware, and secure credential storage into the manufacturing process itself, not adding it after a product has already shipped. Secure data provisioning does exactly that, at the programming step, on equipment already in the production flow. More on the platform: na2.hubs.ly/H07Qkn60.

On this solemn day, we remember those lost on September 11, 2001. This year marks 25 years since the attacks, a milestone with deep personal meaning for our company. Chairman Edward Smith's family was directly impacted that day, and his resilience and continued support for fellow survivors and grieving families have long been an inspiration. Data I/O joins in honoring the memory of all who were lost and the strength of those who carry it forward.

When production volumes climb, programming throughput has to keep pace. The PSV7000 is built for exactly that. With up to 112 simultaneous programming sockets, handler throughput of up to 2,000 devices per hour, and LumenX programming speeds exceeding 160 MB/s, it is designed for the most demanding production environments. VerifyBoost pushes UFS verification to 750 MB/s, keeping high-density storage devices moving without becoming a bottleneck on the line. ◆ Up to 112 sockets across 14 LumenX engines ◆ Up to 2,000 devices per hour ◆ 160+ MB/s program, 750 MB/s verify ◆ 99.8% programming yield, production proven Trusted by 8 of the top 9 automotive electronics suppliers worldwide.

For decades, device programming meant choosing between two costly options: buy the equipment, or send devices out to a third party. Both come with tradeoffs. Programming as a Service (PaaS) is a third path. Production-grade programming systems get deployed directly on the manufacturing floor, with billing per device programmed instead of per machine owned. Swipe through for a look at how PaaS changes the economics, and the security posture, of device programming. ➤ Learn more: na2.hubs.ly/H07x_st0 #DeviceProgramming #SecurityProvisioning #UnifiedPlatform

Two stops on the Data I/O trade show calendar this fall, both featuring Programming as a Service (PaaS). 📍 @productronicaCH India — 📅 September 16-18 Presented alongside channel partner iNETest Technologies India Pvt Ltd. 📍 @SMTAorg Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum — 📅 October 7-8 Attending either show? Stop by to see PaaS in action and talk through a production line's specific requirements. #DAIO #ProductronicaIndia #SMTAGuadalajara

Production was set to surge. CAPEX approval could be delayed by up to a year. One OEM scaled anyway, upgrading its PSV7000 with LumenX programmers instead of buying new. Same schedule. More capacity. No capital outlay. Case study: na2.hubs.ly/H07phPM0 #DAIO #DeviceProgramming #Semiconductor

Data I/O is at the @SMTAorg Michigan Expo & Tech Forum today in Livonia, MI, alongside the team from BarTron, Inc. Talking Programming as a Service and Secure Data Provisioning. Stop by and say hello. #DAIO #SecurityProvisioning

Connected device security isn't optional, it's regulatory, and it starts at design, not manufacturing. Data I/O + IAR Embedded Trust: design security, provision in production, and track it with ConneX. na2.hubs.ly/H075rkg0 #DAIO #SecurityProvisioning #EmbeddedSecurity

Since 1972, Data I/O has built the platform that programs and secures the semiconductors inside everyday electronics. MCUs, UFS, eMMC, NAND, security ICs: if it has silicon, this platform programs it. One platform, every stage, from engineering to volume production. #DAIO #DeviceProgramming #Semiconductor

The FlashCORE III-M4 delivers 4-site manual programming with 10+ MB/s speeds and support for 10,000+ devices. Built for NPI, engineering validation, and low-volume production, with a direct path to PSV5000 and PSV7000 for scaling up. na2.hubs.ly/H071B6M0 #DAIO #DeviceProgramming #Semiconductor

What's the most expensive part of a device programming operation? It isn't the capital investment like most would think, it's the ongoing operational burden. Programming as a Service (PaaS) eliminates that category of cost entirely. Data I/O owns the equipment, manages all maintenance, and handles every software, device library, and algorithm update. Manufacturers pay per device programmed, nothing more. Read the white paper: na2.hubs.ly/H06_r0V0

The LumenX-M8 manual programmer carries the same programming data from design and NPI straight into volume production. No requalification, no rework. na2.hubs.ly/H06WMGY0 #DAIO #DeviceProgramming #UnifiedPlatform #Semiconductor

Most manufacturers think device programming means two options: own it or outsource it. Both come with real costs. Owned equipment locks in capital. Outsourcing breaks traceability and creates security risks. Programming-as-a-Service (PaaS) from Data I/O is the third option. na2.hubs.ly/H06Q7630 #deviceprogramming #daio
