Asia stocks surge as tech extends rebound, Dec rate cut bets grow
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:KEYS) introduced its A90 Application-Specific Automated Test Suite (ASATS), a flash programming solution designed to address bottlenecks in high-volume electronics manufacturing. The S&P 500 company, with a market capitalization of $30.07 billion, continues to innovate while maintaining strong financial health with a comfortable current ratio of 3.59.
The system, announced Wednesday, features a scalable architecture supporting up to 112 parallel programming channels to handle large firmware payloads that have become common in automotive, server, and consumer electronics applications.
According to the company's press release, the A90 ASATS offers a modular design with side-by-side installation capabilities and a same-height bypass conveyor to maintain continuous board flow in production environments. The system is compatible with Keysight's existing i1000 FlexiCore fixtures.
"Electronics manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to accelerate product testing, while managing ever-larger firmware payloads," said Carol Leh, Vice President, Electronic Industrial Solutions Group Center of Excellence at Keysight, in the statement.
The solution aims to address challenges created by growing firmware and operating system sizes that can reach hundreds of megabytes, which traditional testing equipment often struggles to process efficiently.
The A90 ASATS is designed for in-line integration within manufacturing facilities, allowing companies to maintain production efficiency without disrupting downstream processes.
Keysight Technologies, an S&P 500 company, provides design, emulation, and test solutions for communications, industrial automation, aerospace, defense, automotive, semiconductor, and general electronics markets.
