3:15pm Takeaways from eSmart Factory conference
The eSmart Factory Conference is a gathering of some of the smartest minds in the EMS industry. The conference topic this year is Digitization and Transformation and this panel will discuss the main takeaways from the event.
4:00pm AI Inspection techniques – who will be the “Google” of the production line?
Every pick and place vendor and every provider of inspection equipment is offering their own software solution to extract data from the production line for predictive testing and to provide full traceability up to the MES system. This panel will discuss who is best placed to hold the mantle of “Google” of the production line!
3:15pm Sustainable manufacturing and how to reduce energy and your carbon footprint
The German government demanded a 20 percent reduction in energy consumption among manufacturers. This has been compounded by energy shortages. What techniques are available to meet this and how do we reduce the carbon footprint inside and outside the factory.
4:00pm Supply chain challenges within Europe
As the pendulum swings in the opposite direction, what is the current state of the European supply chain and what are the challenges with materials management and the implementation of the European Chips Act?
3:15pm Jetting and Dispensing – Valves, techniques
Jetting has continued to expand in recent years and is complemented by a growing range of valve technologies to meet any viscosity of material. What are the current challenges with jetting and dispensing technologies and how do.
4:00pm PCB manufacturing – opportunities and challenges today
Among the many companies reshoring or near-shoring their manufacturing, there is a need for glass weavers, copper foil producers and PCB manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic to support the growing manufacturing base. This panel will discuss the current state of PCB manufacturing in Europe and what is needed to meet future demand.
