Advantest to Showcase Two Multi-Protocol Testers for SSDs at Flash Memory Summit on August 9-11 in Santa Clara, Calif
Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) will showcase two multi-protocol systems for testing advanced storage devices at the chip, module and system level at the Flash Memory Summit on August 9-11 in Santa Clara, Calif. Advantest is an emerald sponsor of this year's 11th annual Summit.In booths #606-608 in Hall B of the Santa Clara Convention Center, Advantest will highlight its new MPT3000HVM system, designed to achieve the lowest cost in high-volume testing of solid-state drives (SSDs). It is the industry's first true multi-protocol SSD test solution and can support multiple form factors as well, making it the most versatile, modular and scalable SSD tester on the market. Downloadable firmware enables the MPT3000HVM to test any major protocol including SAS 12G, SATA 6G and PCIe with NVMe or AHCI. In addition, Stylus software makes the system easy to use and gives it the capability to be used in both engineering and production environments.Advantest's T5851 is capable of performing high-volume testing, as well as reliability and qualification testing, of protocol NAND devices. Based on the T5800 platform that has been adopted by several memory integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies, the flexible T5851 system can be configured for high-volume production and test up to 768 devices in parallel by matching it with an automated component handler such as Advantest's M624x series handler. Like the MPT3000 platform, it provides multi-protocol support in one tool for high-performance universal flash storage (UFS) devices and PCIe BGA SSDs. T5851 units with x512 and x768 parallel-testing configurations are now being shipped to customers.Both the MPT3000HVM and the T5851 system-level test solutions use a tester-per-DUT architecture and proprietary hardware accelerator to deliver the fastest test times in the industry. Additionally, they leverage the same FPGA multi-protocol architecture, minimizing customers' capital investments and deployment risks.Stay up to date on the latest news from Advantest on Twitter @Advantest_ATE.

EuroBLECH 2016 reflects trend towards smart manufacturing in sheet metal working
From 25 – 29 October 2016, EuroBLECH 2016 will open its doors in Hanover, Germany. The exhibition will, once again, be the meeting place for sheet metal working professionals from all over the world looking to find enhanced machinery and innovative production solutions. Visitors will be able to discover an extensive variety of products, from conventional systems to high-tech solutions, and gain an insight into the latest technological advancements in sheet metal working. With this year's theme "The New Generation of Sheet Metal Working", EuroBLECH 2016 reflects the trend towards digitalisation and smart manufacturing in modern sheet metal processing. Five months ahead of the show, the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions, announce a further increase in exhibition space of the world's leading trade show for this industry sector.A total of 1,410 exhibitors from 40 countries have already secured their stand space at this year's EuroBLECH, the 24th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, covering a net exhibition space of 89,000 square metres across eight halls at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds. This represents an increase in net floor space of 3% compared with the previous exhibition and reflects the fact that exhibiting companies have booked bigger stands to demonstrate an even larger choice of enhanced machinery and cutting-edge solutions. Major exhibitor countries are Germany, Italy, China, Turkey, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Austria. EuroBLECH is traditionally renowned as a highly international event. The previous exhibition was more international than ever, with 52% of exhibitors and 37% of visitors coming from outside Germany. A total of 59,618 trade visitors from 105 countries attended the event in 2014.The New Generation of Sheet Metal WorkingToday's production is undergoing major changes. Automated production, machine-to-machine communication, intelligent process chains – smart manufacturing has now become an integral part of sheet metal working. Data exchange along the entire production value chain paves the way for optimised manufacturing processes, improved planning reliability, more flexibility and higher product quality. With product variety increasing and batch sizes decreasing, manufacturing processes in sheet metal working are becoming ever more complex and require highly efficient and flexible solutions. Companies in the industry sector are, therefore, currently facing an environment of change that requires vital decisions for the long-term adaptation of their production processes.With this year's theme "The New Generation of Sheet Metal Working" EuroBLECH reflects the prevailing somewhat revolutionary development in production technology. As the global business barometer and leading industry platform for the sheet metal working industry, EuroBLECH will present a large variety of tailor-made solutions for optimising and modernising production processes. Exhibiting companies will put a comprehensive range of machinery, tools and systems for the entire value chain of sheet metal processing on display. The exhibition profile includes sheet metal, semi-finished and finished products, welding and surface treatment, processing of hybrid structures, tools, quality control, CAD/CAM/CIM systems and R&D.Visitors will be able to see live demonstrations of a large variety of machinery and systems and discuss practical applications with top industry experts. The show targets all sheet metal working specialists at every management level in small and medium-sized companies as well as large enterprises. Visitors include design engineers, production managers, quality managers, buyers, manufacturers, technical directors and experts in associations and R&D.Information for visitorsA visitor brochure in twelve languages is now available from the organisers and can be ordered via the multi-lingual show website www.euroblech.com.
