Offline vs Inline: Shifting to
automated inline ICT
Exploring the affordability and benefits of using a fully-
automated inline in-circuit testing strategy with the i1000D
small footprint ICT system



The automotive industry has been However, when it comes to testing these PCBAs with in-circuit test (ICT), the
adopting inline automatic in-circuit process is still mostly manual, with most manufacturers using offline ICT sta-
testing for a long time. The main pur- tions to test their boards. While entire SMT lines have become increasingly
