Production Line Tool
PLT streamlines firmware flashing and test automation in production environments.
The PLT is designed to serve the needs of developers throughout the product life cycle. After an IoT device is designed and validated on a PLT, identical boxes are sent to the production line for programming and testing at manufacturing scale. The development team can see results directly from the production line and stay ahead of issues that delay the product build.
In addition, we have ICT-100A tester to help you start the test ASAP, you can use our PLT and ICT solutions to start flashing firmware, testing boards, and collecting data as each item comes off the line.
Features
MCU Support
For a complete list of supported MCUs, please consult the PLT
support center. We are constantly expanding the list, and we are happy to look at your
product to assess the possibilities.
Power and Relays
- Power Control
- The PLT-200A can power the device under test with either 3.3, 5 or 12 Volts at up to 2 Amp. The voltage and current provided to the PLT can be measured during test plan execution.

Flash Firmware
Faster
Deploy your firmware remotely and know exactly what is programmed into each board. Firmware handoffs have plagued manufacturing for years, but now there is a better way.
Streamline
Hardware Testing
Automate testing with software instead of modifying complex operator instructions and hardware configurations. Need to add a test? Add a line of code.
