"Data I/O has done is created a platform that allows customers to continue to innovate and upgrade with Data I/O technology without having to throw the machine away. For example, a PSV automated programming machine that was sold 10 years ago can be upgraded with the latest technology that new orders are receiving today. A Data I/O customer knows when selecting one of our systems they will never find themselves in a dead-end technology." - Anthony Ambrose
