Automation South Electronics (ASE) Facts ASE has been in the electronics business since 1985, manufacturing custom robotic automation and representation of companies such as Siemens. TDK, Yamaha, and Philips. These systems were used in the assembly of printed circuit board assembly, for automotive, defense, medical, telecommunications, lighting, power source, and encryption hardware systems. Consulted to fortune 500 companies on asset management of new and used equipment for companies such as Intel, Solectron, Flextronics, Foxconn, AT&T, Alcatel, and RF Mico Devices in a domestic as well as off shore applications. Developed plans for start up of electronic assembly manufacturing plants in the US, Mexico, and Asia. Represented HP Agilent, GenRad, and Teradyne test systems for over 10 years for in circuit test. As well as representation for automated optical inspection systems used as inline and offline applications. Has been building LED driver and LED lighting test systems for the last four years. 9 September 2013 ASE Driver Test System - Automation South Electronics, Inc 2013 Page 2 of 24
