Datest Marches Into SMTA International with Backup Plans, Big Partnerships, and Bigger X-rays

Oct 06, 2025

Datest, the industry’s favorite second set of eyes (and hands, and solder joints), is heading to SMTA International 2025 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Find us at Booth #2627, where high-reliability, high-complexity builds meet their match.

Because let’s be honest: in today’s electronics manufacturing world, Plan A is never enough. OEMs who need a second source that won’t blink under aerospace, defense, or medical-grade pressure call Datest. We deliver independent verification, inspection, and failure analysis so you can sleep at night knowing your builds are solid, your suppliers accountable, and your programs back on track. The proof is in better functional test yields and process problems solved.

What’s New at Booth 2627?

  • Viscom Partnership – We’ve teamed up with Viscom to unleash the iX7059 XL 3D CT AXI system. Translation: slice-by-slice visibility into your boards, from BGAs to QFNs, from oversized beasts to delicate space-bound hardware. With 6µm resolution, predictive X-ray dosage control, and capacity up to 24” x 39”, it sees through boards like an airport scanner on espresso.

  • SPEA Partnership – If “programming services” makes your eyelids droop, wake up: Datest + SPEA equals smarter, faster, and more comprehensive test coverage. Whether it’s boundary scan, flying probe, or in-circuit, our partnership ensures your devices don’t just get tested—they get interrogated. Nicely, of course. We can also bridge the gap for SPEA users, providing those mundane-but-vital programming services until local personnel are up to speed.

Why Stop By?

Because Datest isn’t just another lab with fancy toys. We’re the people you call when the stakes are high, the boards are complex, and the margin for error is zero. We back it up with decades of inspection, test, and engineering expertise, now powered by partnerships with Viscom and SPEA.

So, OEMs, if you need:
✔️ A second source that won’t let you down
✔️ Non-destructive inspection with clarity you can actually trust
✔️ Programming and test solutions that dig deeper

…then you need to swing by Booth 2627.

EMS companies are welcome too. But beware, this is a buzzword-free zone: we speak fluent plain English. You’ve been warned.
