IC Card Manufacturers produce cards embedded with IC chips used in credit cards, transportation IC cards, etc. After cutting the card materials and performing lamination processing, they mount IC chips through automatic or manual operations, bonding, and crimping. Subsequently, they conduct printing, embossing processing, magnetic stripe encoding, and finally perform read/write inspections and visual inspections using test equipment. They also handle production line machine operations, daily equipment maintenance, troubleshooting, and management in accordance with quality standards and ISO specifications.
