SEICA SpA
SEICA offers innovative ATE solutions which range from Bare Board Test, Flying Probe Systems, In-Circuit and Combi Test to Functional Test.
Manufacturer of Assembly Equipment, Test Services
Founded in 1986 in Strambino, a small town located in the Canavese district of Italy (long noted for its high concentration of electronic and information technology companies), SEICA has eprogressed from developing its first in-circuit Test system for the domestic electronics industry to become a world leader in Flying Probe and functional test systems. Today Seica is one of the major suppliers of test equipment, with more than 1000 systems installed on five continents.
Over the years the Company has grown up, and now has subsidiaries in France (2000), the United States (2003), China (2004) and Germany (2008), with a global distribution network covering market needs worldwide.
Research and implementation of new technologies
From the beginning Seica has led in innovation, researching and implementing new technologies. In 1994, SEICA was the first European Company to design and manufacture a Flying Probe tester, and in 2003 presented a revolutionary, laser-based selective soldering solution.
Product development
The research in new technologies is promptly applied in the development of new products, allowing Seica to offer a widely diverse and flexible portfolio of products. The company, in fact, has 5 different product lines:
- Pilot Line: flying probe test systems
- Valid Line: high performance functional test systems
- BBT Line: Bare board test systems
- Compact Line: In-circuit and functional test systems
- Firefly Line: Laser selective soldering systems
Solutions and systems integrated in a unique platform
All SEICA products are based on its unique hardware and software platform, called VIVA Integrated Platform (VIP). The VIVA software offers a complete set of automated instruments to develop, execute and maintain in-circuit and functional test programs for analog, digital and hybrid boards and the VIP hardware includes integrated, DSP technology, delivering fast, accurate, comprehensive solutions which are extremely cost effective.
Cooperation
Seica’s R&D Team often cooperates with researchers from univerisites such as the Politecnico of Torino to compare its technologies with the latest in engineering innovation.

Seica Publishes Video about the New Compact Slim Next> series
Oct 11, 2018 | In our new row of Educational Videos, we introduce today the Compact Slim Next> series, a very small (only 300 mm width) yet modular bed of nails tester especially suitable for deployment in as a series of equivalent systems, loaded either manually or via a COBOT solution.
Sep 13, 2018 | Seica Inc., will be exhibiting at the SMTAI trade show to be held in Chicago, IL on October 16 – 17, 2018. Seica’s Pilot V8 automated flying prober will be on display in booth #424. The Pilot V8 Next> series is Seica’s latest innovative flying prober on the market today. It’s ability to test traditional loaded boards is unmatched in today’s market, but also its ability to test wafers, substrates, MLOs and assemblies is quite extraordinary. From NPI pilot runs to full production runs, with its fast ICT test capabilities the system can also be configured to regenerate netlists and schematics for circuit assemblies that have no data whatsoever. The system can also be configured for functional testing such as; power up, boundary scan, flash programming, and LED testing or using Seica’s functional language the user can create their own test code or run National Instruments TeststandTM Labview sequences. Seica will also discuss many other product offerings from bed of nails testers, to automation equipment, conformal coat and THT (Dragonfly) test systems, and our laser based selective solder system called the Firefly.
