Bowman has expanded its global partnership network with strategic appointments in 3 key regions.
Important new additions in South America are Pattaro C S Ltda. (head-quartered in Sao Caetano do Sul, Brazil) and Analitica & Redes (based in Bogota, Colombia). BES Engineering, headquartered in Istanbul, will pursue new business development in Turkey.
Pattaro C S Ltda. has more than 10 years of experience supplying instruments and consumables for the printed circuit, plastic card and surface finishing industries.
Analitica & Redes is commemorating its 20th year as one of Colombia’s preeminent distributors of 15 categories of analytical instrumentation, “from atomic absorption to XRF.”
BES Engineering represents 8 manufacturers of X-ray and laser-based instruments, including X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, NDT systems, and short pulse lasers. BES will exhibit at Minex; a mining and technologies fair, October 23-26, in the Aegean coastal city of Izmir.
President Tom Leone says, “Bowman is delighted to welcome these 3 respected sales and service organizations into our global network. Shortly, we will make a long-awaited announcement regarding Texas, another region which has become increasingly active for us.”

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.

Root-cause Analysis and Problem-solving
11/01/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007An essential skill for any process engineer in printed circuit fabrication is the ability to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving. These are related to TQC and Six Sigma applications and are essential for customer support and continued profitability. All engineers will encounter these methods sooner or later, but it will likely be sooner if you are in product or process engineering in manufacturing.
