## Summary

Luca Corli, Sales Director at SEICA, explains how the company has evolved from a traditional hardware tester into a software and consultancy provider, leveraging AI to optimize test coverage and decision-making. He details the convergence of PCB and semiconductor testing, highlighting the Pilot VX flying probe technology used for wafer tests and measuring thermal resistance in power electronics for electric vehicles. Corli emphasizes the strategic importance of early customer collaboration, engaging with clients at the concept stage to design for testability before physical products exist.
