Device programming is not just a step in the manufacturing process—it is a critical control point that directly impacts quality, traceability, security, and production efficiency. At ProEx, we specialize in high-volume, secure, and repeatable offline IC programming services designed to support electronics manufacturers, distributors, and OEMs across automotive, medical, industrial, telecommunications, aerospace, and defense markets.

With decades of hands-on experience and industry-leading automated programming platforms, ProEx delivers the precision, speed, and reliability your production lines demand.

We take the time to understand your device requirements, firmware needs, serialization expectations, and security standards so we can build a programming solution that works seamlessly for your business.

Why Manufacturers Choose ProEx for Device Programming

Competitive, Volume-Driven Pricing

Our automated platforms and efficient workflows allow ProEx to offer highly competitive pricing, especially for medium- to high-volume programs. We work with you to build a pricing structure that aligns with your forecast, volumes, and long-term needs—helping you reduce internal labor, equipment investment, and operational overhead.

Secure Provisioning and ITAR-Compliant Workflows

Security is built into every step of our process.

ProEx operates as an ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR-registered facility. In partnership with our programming equipment manufacturers, we provide secure provisioning solutions that protect your firmware, encryption keys, and proprietary data throughout the programming process.

This is especially critical for customers in automotive, medical, aerospace, and defense sectors.

Advanced Serialization Options

Serialization is often a requirement—not an option.

ProEx supports both standard and complex serialized programming:

Sequential serial numbering embedded into firmware
Randomized unique serial numbers
Custom executable scripts written to interface with programming software
MAC addresses, encryption keys, UID injection, and custom data fields

No matter how simple or complex the requirement, we create a repeatable and validated serialization process.

Secure, Repeatable Job Master Setup

Once your program is approved through First Article (FA) samples, ProEx locks the job into a secure Job Master configuration.

This ensures:

Every production order exactly matches the approved samples
Zero deviation between runs
Fast, repeatable setup for future orders
Reduced risk of programming errors

This process provides long-term consistency and peace of mind for ongoing production.

Fast Revision Changes and First Articles

Firmware revisions happen. Production cannot wait.

ProEx works quickly to:

Load new firmware revisions
Process updated First Article samples
Validate and release jobs back into production without delay

Our streamlined FA process prevents bottlenecks and keeps your supply chain moving.

Extensive Device and Package Support

ProEx supports a wide range of:

Microcontrollers
NAND/NOR Flash
EEPROM
CPLD/FPGA
Automotive and medical-grade ICs
Multiple package types including tray, tube, and tape & reel

Our equipment portfolio allows us to support both legacy and next-generation devices with rapid response times.

Same-Day Processing When You Need It Most

While many providers promise fast turnaround, ProEx is structured to deliver same-day programming and same-day First Articles when urgency matters.

This is a critical advantage for customers facing:

Line-down situations
Expedite orders
Supply chain disruptions
Unexpected demand spikes
