Data I/O President and CEO Bill Wentworth appeared on The Big Biz Show podcast with hosts Bob “Sully” Sullivan and Mike Costa to discuss why semiconductor “data programming” remains essential for bringing products to life in mass production, even as AI accelerates technology cycles. Wentworth said faster product life cycles are pushing manufacturers to introduce new devices quickly while maintaining security and quality, and he outlined Data I/O’s next-generation programming platform planned for release by year-end with a 10–15 year architecture. He also described an expansion beyond capital equipment into programming services and programming at test, aiming to grow the company’s addressable market to more than $1 billion, while noting Data I/O is using AI internally to speed software development and strategic work.
