Koh Young America Highlighting Smart Factory Solutions at SMTA Guadalajara
November 6, 2018 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
As the industry's leading smart factory solutions provider, Koh Young will highlight its pioneering Industry 4.0 solutions together with its Mexico sales partner Repstronics. Together, they will demonstrate smarter, faster, and innovative True 3D SPI (solder paste inspection) and AOI (automated optical inspection) solutions integrated with the AI-powered KSMART platform at SMTA Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum during 14-15 November 2018 at the EXPO Guadalajara convention center in Mexico.
Koh Young has become synonymous with innovative, pioneering technologies. “Our efforts to advance Industry 4.0 shows our dedication to improve manufacturing,” said Ramon Hernandez, Sales Manager for Mexico and South America at Koh Young America. “Beyond our support for various M2M connectivity initiatives like IPC CFX and IPC-Hermes-9852, we continue to introduce AI-powered solutions to help realize a smart factory,” finished Hernandez.
From statistical process control software called SPC@KSMART to programming optimization with its OPO@KSMART (offline programming optimizer), Koh Young will show how its solutions apply real-time data analytics to help improve the production process. Beyond its comprehensive KSMART solutions, Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) focuses on the print process. “The KSMART software suite makes our award-winning equipment even more powerful, all the while laying the foundation for a smart factory,” said Brent Fischthal, senior manager for Americas marketing and regional sales at Koh Young America.
We welcome attendees to visit us in the Repstronics booth and understand why so many manufacturers turn to Koh Young for inspection solutions.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
