Current IssueThe Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.

Wittcosales Goes on the Road for Customer Visits in ‘Wittcomobile’
July 23, 2020 | WittcoSalesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
WittcoSales is pleased to announce that it has invested in a company RV to visit customers and principals. The dynamic father-and-son team continue to support the SMT and micro-electronics markets, and will use the 29-foot RV as a mobile office and demo site to better serve customers and arrange visits with facilities that may not allow visitors inside the company.
Todd Wittmer, President of WittcoSales, commented, “The electronic and technology industry, supplying medical, air and space, military and consumers of essential goods, have remained busier than ever. Due to COVID-19 many facilities have closed their doors to vendors and reps with the exception of equipment service and upgrade needs. This, unfortunately, does not allow for another aspect of our business in a very competitive climate: The ability to constantly evaluate and improve, staying ahead of industry trends by helping to proactively meet customer needs and demands. With new technology being developed and made available to assist and better serve our industry/customers, there are currently very limited effective ways to get the word out and create excitement on these new breakthroughs.”
For customers who cannot allow visitors due to COVID-19, Team Wittcosales is working on developing a safe, sanitized area where they can meet with customers in the parking lot for project and product reviews, smaller equipment demonstrations and a golf trip or two. “We will be updating you on the status of our upcoming road map,” added Wittmer. “Your continued operation, success and safety is our number one priority! It will be our pleasure to arrange a visit for the near future with our office on wheels. Wittcosales is honored to serve you and greatly appreciates you continued support."
