EINPresswire.com — BPM Microsystems, a leading global provider of device programming systems for test and measurement systems, factory integration software, and solutions for the semiconductor and electronics industries, was awarded their ISO 9001:2015 Certification on December 9, 2018. Reggie Fields, BPM’s Director of Quality & Customer Experience says, “ISO 9001:2015 Certification is a huge accomplishment by our company. Document control within the automotive industry is challenging, and because BPM Microsystems manufactures all our systems, software, and algorithms right here in Houston, Texas, we can provide a total end-to-end solution few companies can match. The audit and certification were completed with hardly a bump along the way. I’m excited about the continuous improvement efforts our team is engaging in to continue being a world-class supplier meeting all the requirements of our tier one automotive OEM customers.”
Bill White, Founder and CEO of BPM says, “This is a perfect example of a stretch goal. There was no certainty it was even possible to complete certification last year. Many people on the outside suggested we would need another six months, but we set the goal and we accomplished it! This will be important news to our automotive customers who have a hard requirement for their suppliers to be ISO certified.”
The certificate was awarded by TUV USA Inc. and is in effect for the next three years. TUV USA, Inc. is one of the most experienced companies in assessing and certifying management systems and regulatory inspection activities in the US. All auditors are industry certified and have more than 15 years of industry knowledge and auditing experience.
Founded in 1985, BPM Microsystems serves more than 2,000 companies in over 40 countries, including programming centers, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), contract and semiconductor manufacturers. As a vertically integrated supplier with control over the manufacturing, software and global support, BPM programmers offer high-performance device handling, advanced serialization, and quality control, meeting the highest programming and cybersecurity standards for automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial and mobile device applications.

If you’re into cool gadgets, APEX 2019 was like a techie’s Christmas. BPM brought its coolest new machines and rocked it! Trade shows are a lot of work, and lots of things can go wrong (and they did), but fortunately, everything was running like a top by Tuesday morning. Here are the highlights and some more pics:
- NPI Award for WhisperTeach+ (if you bring back an NPI award in your carry-on luggage, it will flag a security check)
- Over 150 guests (that we know about) over 2-1/2 days
- Two video interviews (with Global SMT and What’s New in Electronics). Links coming soon
- Many opportunities discovered and a few rekindled
- The 3910 and 4910 Automated Programming Systems demonstrated why they are the best solution for Automotive, Industrial, IoT, Medical, etc. device programming— they truly are fast and easy (and profitable!)
- An 8-foot video wall provided some additional buzz
- Most of our Sales Representative Organizations covering the US, Canada, and Latin America participated, including InterLatin, the Murray Percival Group, and Restronics Inc.
- Quote of the week: “Your booth is amazing– so much traffic; you must have sexy machines!” from our next-door neighbor from Parker Hannifin
The 3910 was a hit (again) with its small footprint and big output
InterLatin, our sales organization in Mexico, was instrumental in engaging their connections to see what makes BPM different
It was great to show off fast and easy solutions to device programming

APEX Day One is in the books– we had a great first day meeting with customers, soon-to-be customers, distributors and friends in the business. When the doors opened at 10am, we had a full house. Things stayed busy all through lunch. The afternoon slowed down a bit, but we had a lot to celebrate.
We received the NPI Award for new product development again this year (two years in a row). Last year, we won for WhisperTeach (auto-teach the critical z-height). This year, we received the award for WhisperTeach+
- Reduces set-up times by as much as an hour (compared to competitor’s manual teach methods)
- Improves yield and job performance with fully-automated teach
- Blazing-fast set-ups with fully-autonomous XYZ and Theta Teach— up to 48 sockets in just a few minutes without operator intervention
Jim Holava, our Global Sales Director, gave an interview with SMT Global Magazine… stay tuned for that link.
We still have two more days of meetings and greetings. If you’re in SoCal, drop by and do the WhisperTeach Challenge– see if you can beat your fellow humans in a Z-Teach challenge. The closest to the WhisperTeach without going over (which can damage the device) has a chance to win an iPad. We’re also having a special appearance with our founder and president, William White, on Wednesday.

The Toys for Tots donation box is in the lobby! Please drop off your new, unwrapped toys in the box anytime between now and December 17th! We will be dropping off the donations to Toys for Tots that day!
Houston Children’s Charity has reached out to us about the Toys for Tots drive, providing a list of gift ideas for teenagers, as they are severely low on toys for teens every year. I have attached that list for everyone in case you want to use it when shopping for the drive but please do not feel like you have to use it- any and all donations you bring in are greatly appreciated and for an excellent cause. In case you missed it, the box for collecting the donations is in the lobby, next to the Christmas tree. 🙂
Thank you!
Kellie & Penny
Update:
12/06/2018- The box is starting to fill up…
