SMTAI, Orlando, FL –
August 19, 2008 – Seica Inc., a leading supplier of
in-circuit test (ICT) and flying probe systems, and
Corelis, Inc., a top-tier provider of high-performance
boundary-scan and JTAG emulation test tools, announced formation of a
partnership to deliver and support an integrated system
based on Seica’s Pilot flying probe system and
boundary-scan products from Corelis. The integrated
solution is already successfully deployed at a major
defense electronics manufacturer.
Seica Inc. offers a number
of different flying probe and ICT systems based on the
common Pilot software platform. The two companies will
integrate Corelis boundary-scan JTAG controllers and
software to support a wide variety of different
configurations and applications.
"Integrating our
ScanExpress boundary-scan test system with the Pilot
flying probe tester was an important step for us," said
George B. La Fever, CEO of Corelis. "We are most pleased
to be associated with Seica, an excellent company with a
superb product line. Seica was extremely cooperative and
the work was very straightforward. By combining two
separate highly effective and low cost test solutions,
we create a best-of-both-worlds situation. We are
looking forward to helping our customers reduce their
overall test cost while improving test coverage."
David Sigillo, General
Manager of Seica Inc., stated, "This demonstrates the
fundamental flexibility of our test systems and our
ability to deliver a solution that suits a range of
customer needs. Because of the common software platform
of our ICT and flying probe systems and the ease of
integrating Corelis JTAG hardware and software, we are
now able to offer this integrated solution to virtually
all our customers. Working with Corelis, the leader in
boundary-scan market products and support, is a perfect
fit for us and our customers."
