December 2023 marked a milestone for the Cicor team, particularly for Team Test CVN, as we welcomed the new ICT system TRI13 into our arsenal. This addition has expanded our ICT test systems to a total of seven, significantly enhancing our testing capabilities. The TRI13 system brings to the table an impressive capacity for interchangeable adapters and provides much-needed relief for the overload experienced by other test systems. With the ability to test up to 512 pins per system, the TRI13 stands as a testament to Cicor’s commitment to technological advancement and efficiency.
Looking ahead, the team plans to revolutionize the manual fixtures with an enhanced locking mechanism. This innovation will enable automatic closing and opening during each test, enhancing safety, reducing operator errors, and streamlining the testing process.
Our Engineering Services Department is redefining collaboration and consultancy in project execution. From the initial stages to the final implementation, Cicor Vietnam is dedicated to offering bespoke solutions tailored to the unique needs and budget constraints of our clients. We’ve had the privilege of working alongside notable names, assisting in the development of test specifications for functional testing that precede prototyping, pre-series, and mass production phases.
Our approach is particularly beneficial for startups facing challenges related to process optimization, design for manufacturability (DFM), design for testability (DFT), design for assembly (DFA), and financial constraints. Through standard consulting practices, we ensure the production of PCBAs that meet global standards set by bodies such as IPC and ISO.
In a bid to move away from conventional testing equipment, our department has pioneered the development of custom testing solutions. By leveraging our in-house system, Swisstronics, we’ve introduced innovative modules and PCBs that are tailored to meet the technological needs of each client, highlighting our commitment to cost-efficiency, adaptability, and market leadership.
The CVN Engineering Team is at the forefront of automation with its focus on Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) robots. These robots, designed to operate independently of human intervention, are ideal for transporting parts or finished products in scenarios that would otherwise be hazardous, tedious, or repetitive for human workers.
Our current project involves the development of an AGV tasked with delivering packages within the factory premises. This AGV is equipped with cutting-edge features such as magnetic line following, anti-collision sensors, RFID stations for precise positioning, autonomous charging capabilities, dashcam recording for data collection, and an integrated mobile app for real-time management and tracking.
Expected to be completed within the next 2-3 months, this AGV represents a significant step forward in optimizing factory automation and underscores Cicor’s unwavering commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of technology and collaboration, making Cicor a leader in engineering solutions.
