Hector Hernandez is a sales partner with Koh Young
Kelly Dack: What have you seen on the show floor?
Hector Hernandez: I’m from Mexico, and my company is Koh Young. We do 3D AOI and SPI. The show this year is amazing. A lot of people are here, looking for new technologies related to Industry 4.0 and the smart factory, and it has been a great show. We can improve a lot of things to make next year’s show better, but we have had a great show so far.
Dack: Have you seen anything really new that stood out?
Hernandez: Many companies are focused on the smart factory and the connection between their own equipment and other brands and competitors. IPC APEX EXPO has been a great opportunity to see the new CFX line, which is one of the better things right now. The new communication between equipment is amazing. Every company is focused on that part.
