Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO)

Data I/O Corporation closed at $4.61 Wednesday, trading 11,400 shares.

Company News- March 6, 2008: Data I/O Corporation Announces Release of the New PS Automotive Performance Pak

Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading provider of manual and automated device programming systems and solutions, announced earlier today the release of the Automotive Performance Pak, a bundled suite of PS Series application software targeting critical business needs for automotive suppliers.

The Automotive Performance Pak includes five software utilities: PS Remote Monitoring provides production managers with a direct link to programming activities. From a remote location, production managers can view up to 10 networked PS Systems and view real-time Job performance including Pass, Fail and Yield statistics for specific Jobs. These statistics are saved to a repository for future reference.

Label Generator application software enables the design and printing of graphic and text labels for reels of pre-programmed devices. Production control managers can track pre-programmed devices with a barcode ID, to facilitate item tracking in inventory through production.

FlashCORE Version Control creates an 'archived Job' file containing references to all software components used in initial Job creation. Production managers can reinstate the approved system configuration of any Job including the version of TaskLink, system software, algorithm and data file for full traceability.

Enhanced Statistic provides managers the ability to track and monitor process trends that impact quality. A delimited-text file is generated that tracks each motion of a device together with system status. The file can be exported to an Access or Excel database, or other statistical process control tools, for further process analysis.

Confirm Input Device validates that devices on a new reel of devices match the device type selected in the Job. This is especially critical when multiple versions/vendors of the same device are used and guards against common operator setup errors.

The new Automotive Performance Pak is an example of Data I/O's commitment to deliver targeted solutions addressing specific application needs. Automotive suppliers may choose to order pre-bundled Automotive Performance Systems new from Data I/O; existing PS288 and PS588 users may order the Automotive Performance Pak Kit and upgrade their current systems.
