We want to program multiple number  of STM32C011J6 microcontroller boards at SMT stage in production line . We look for a suitable suggestion to program volume of 500 nos per day.

For programming 500 STM32C011J6 microcontrollers per day at the SMT stage, consider these solutions:

  1. Automated Programming Jigs: Multi-socket jigs that program multiple boards simultaneously.
  2. Automated Test and Programming Systems (ATPS): Systems combining programming and testing, integrated with factory management.
  3. Pick-and-Place Machines: Some can program microcontrollers during assembly, eliminating the need for separate programming.
  4. USB/Serial Flash Programming: Use devices like ST-Link V2/V3 for batch programming, with automated handling.
  5. Automated Conveyors with Programming Stations: Conveyor systems that pass boards through programming fixtures.

For high-volume, automated jigs or ATPS with parallel programming will be most efficient.
