Register today to secure your seat in the virtual event and understand how to leverage AOI measurement data to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce costs. Be part of the digital transformation and move to Industry 4.0!
The electronics industry is battling the challenges manufacturers are facing due to a shortage of workers with the necessary skill to fill needed positions. While leading industry organizations are tackling the issue with education programs, training initiatives, and industry standards, we must do more. Equipment suppliers like Koh Young are working diligently to expedite the adoption and implementation of equipment communication standards to help manufacturers adopt the framework for a smart factory. These machine to machine (M2M) communication standards, guided in part by Industry 4.0, are quickly altering the manufacturing process by improving metrics like first pass yield and line throughput by helping to implement automatic process adjustments.
By converting data into information, and then into knowledge, Koh Young KSMART process control software is helping engineers make effective, quality-driven decisions. The AI-powered process analysis and improvement tools within KSMART deliver autonomous process optimization. In short, KSMART is the “Gateway to a Smart Factory.”
“I am excited to share our knowledge with registered attendees who are eager to learn how a smart factory can improve electronics production,” said Ramon Hernandez, Country Manager for Mexico and South America at Koh Young America. “With the help of Repstronics, we can show how Koh Young Smart Factory Solutions can help you detect defects, optimize in real-time, and trace products to increase quality and lower costs.”

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/31/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Last week, the IMPACT conference took place in Taipei, bringing together advanced packaging experts from around the globe to share their knowledge. We’ll be bringing you post-conference coverage over the next few weeks, so look for that in our newsletters, and in the Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest. Other news seemed to have the U.S. at the center of the global discussions. My picks start in Phoenix, where TSMC, NVIDIA, and Amkor are all scrambling to establish new capabilities. There’s nothing like a strong demand signal to cause build-out, and AI chips are doing exactly that.

Better Sustainability Policies for Electronics
10/29/2025 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationI joined the Global Electronics Association in August 2025 as the director of sustainability policy. Since then, much has happened in terms of geopolitics and in the development and re-envisioning of sustainability policies in the industry. While the European Commission has released several legislative packages to simplify sustainability requirements (“omnibus”), these developments haven’t yet settled and are not in effect. Given the many recent and ongoing public consultations, with often conflicting input from a broad range of stakeholders, final negotiations remain rather polarized among policymakers.
