Test & Quality Assurance
In Line ICT & Functional Validation
Integrated TERADYNE ICT stations and functional test benches validate board integrity and performance before integration.
AOI/SPI Defect Prevention & Early Detection
AOI and 3D SPI create quality gates that detect defects as early as possible, reducing rework and preserving takt time.
X Ray Structural Analysis for Hidden Joints
X‑ray checks BGA/QFN/PTH structures and voids on a sample basis, complementing AOI/SPI to secure reliability.
Robotic & Automated Production Lines
Semi Automated Robotic Line with Automated Transitics
A latest‑generation semi‑automated robotic line with automatic transitics limits manual handling and secures pace, repeatability and quality on high‑volume programs.
Build to Print Expertise up to 1M Units/Year
Co‑developed by multicultural teams across ACTIA sites, this line supports complex build‑to‑print projects and can scale to ~1,000,000 units/year while maintaining stringent quality levels.
Scalability & Industrial Flexibility
From 100 Boards to 5 Million Units
From prototypes/small runs to multi‑million unit programs, resources are right‑sized to each project’s stage and risk profile.
Mirror Factories & “Made In Local” Replicability
ACTIA’s mirror‑site strategy supports production transfer and local replication (e.g., deploying an automated line in the US for “Made‑in local” programs), improving resilience and market proximity.
Engineering Collaboration & Expertise
Co Design & DFM with Customers
Teams get involved early (co‑design/DFM/DFT) to optimize manufacturability, cost, and test strategies, securing industrial performance from the first builds.
Strong R&D Synergy with ACTIA Engineering Services
Close collaboration with ACTIA Engineering Services (R&D & Qualification labs) accelerates development, testing, and industrialization across hardware, software and systems.
