This report details the advancement of SSD modules for the ALICE experiment, emphasizing the production challenges and testing strategies around 2003. Key components include the design parameters of the HAL25 chips, robots for module assembly, and insights from beam tests conducted at CERN. Improvements in the process control and yield, using testing infrastructures in Helsinki, Trieste, and Strasbourg, are highlighted. Critical issues with sensor quality and the integration of read-out chains further shape the project's trajectory toward mass production.
