Serialized Programming Solutions for IoT Secure Elements Continued from previous page
marked on each element. If any element fails inspection, passed elements are placed at buffer tray, while a new element is programmed and marked with the missing number before output. Throughout production, Exatron software
tracks and displays serial numbers at every step, and then, at the end of each production lot, creates a log file of serial numbers processed. The 901 TRX is designed to maximize speed,
efficiency and accuracy. It has two quad pickup heads; tape in/out; up to 32 program sites, including one dedicated quad remake station; one dedicated quad verification station; a laser mark and laser buffer tray with pneumatic positioners; one buffer waffle tray; one reject waffle tray; up to six reject buckets; a Rofin laser marker; and two Keyence inspection cameras, one that performs OCR inspec- tion at the laser site and one that ensures correct pin one orientation and pocket seating at the output taper.
The gantry is powered by servo
motor-driven lead screws, with each pickup head moving four devices at once and reaching speeds of over 2,000 units per hour, including laser marking, inspection, and program- ming time. Even with a one percent fail rate, there is no dip in UPH. The TRX is also easily adaptable, allow- ing customers to insert sequence test and quality control test modules into the production flow as needed and quickly evolve along with industry form factors.
Benefits for Smartcard Manufacturers
The 901 TRX already has a
presence in the IoT secure elements industry. Top smartcard manufac- turers are producing millions of secure elements, mainly in the machine-to-machine (M2M) sector and automotive compliance. More than a dozen TRX systems have been installed throughout Latin America, Europe and Asia “TRX was the first and most
reliable machine in the eSIM and M2M market,” says Alfonso Crespo Gonzolez, operations director at Valid, based in Spain. “This definite- ly helped to enhance our portfolio by creating products tailored to our cus- tomer requests.” “Being the first machine for such
products is challenging, especially because market needs are not com- pletely defined. TRX provides us with a full set of solutions and has already evolved to make sure market trends are captured and implemented in the machine,” adds Francois Maurel, vice president and general manager of NBS Technologies in France. “We believe the TRX is a very good trigger for the serialization of secure ele- ments and, as volumes grow, NBS and Exatron will promote a new gen- eration of equipment running faster and handling smaller devices.” Exatron and NBS combined
more than 40 years of experience and expertise to create the 901 TRX Smart Queue Program Handler Sys tem. Exatron’s building block design method allows the 901 TRX to be cus- tomized to suit nearly any application. It can handle a wide range of
device types, can adapt to nearly any third-party programmer and is easily integrated with Exatron’s large inventory of assembly options, includ- ing input/output options, such as a bowl feeder, tube and tray, 2D and 3D vision and laser marking upgrades, and digital linear motor upgrades for increased speed and handling of

devices as small as 0.04 x 0.04 in. (1 x 1 mm). NBS Technologies in France leads the wafer
packaging industry with more than 100 systems installed in most of the world’s top semiconductor vendors and has been involved for many years in smartcard manufacturing and personalization. The future of smart devices and IoT technolo-
gy depends largely on security. Security depends largely on unique, trackable serial numbers. The 901 TRX with Exatron Smart Queue automation software is designed to guarantee internally and externally serialized output, logged and tracked at each production step. It is an excellent tool for a rapidly expanding market. Contact: Exatron, Inc., 2842 Aeillo Drive,
