Strambino, Italy, October 2018 –Seica and innovation is a combination that customers worldwide have come to expect. This year at electronica, Seica will be showing the power and performance of the new VIVA Next hardware and software platform in a totally innovative setting: a virtual factory, where visitors will be able to explore, hands-on, inside and out, Seica’s Pilot V8 flying probe tester, as well as view the fully automated Compact SL for in-circuit and functional test and the Firefly Next, Seica’s cutting-edge, laser-based selective soldering system.
In addition, several Seica Mini line test and programming stations will be on display in the Technology area of the booth, where visitors will be able to see the power of the 64 bit VIVA Next software, which takes the open architecture concept to a whole new level.
The VIVA NEXT Test Studio gives the user freedom to develop functional test sequences using whatever software is most familiar or preferred (eg. VIVA VL, VIVA Quicktest, VIVA Flylab, TestStand, Labview, MS Excel, Python, VBScript) while providing a complete set of utilities and tools specifically designed to easily manage all aspects of test: initializing the environment and control of the overall test flow, settings, barcodes, board states, pass/fail, reports, variant management, etc., allowing the programmer to concentrate his attention only on what matters most, the test program. The VIVA MyView environment makes it easy to customize the graphical interface for the operator, using the Seica graphic editor. Since MyView can also interact seamlessly with third party applications, it can provide one single operator interface (HMI) to manage all the steps of the test sequences.
VIVA NEXT, together with Seica’s years of experience, provides intelligent integration with all aspects of the customer’s manufacturing processes: data collection, traceability, interaction with MES, repair operations. In short, it includes all of the core concepts of Industry 4.0.
