Koh Young to Discuss Digital Twin & Establishing a DFM Strategy
March 15, 2022 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D measurement-based inspection solutions, will participate in a free panel discussion with other industry experts on establishing a Design for Manufacturing strategy with a digital twin on Tuesday, 22 March 2022 at 10:30 AM EST. Register today to secure your seat in the virtual event and understand the importance of a digital twin in a smart factory.
Koh Young pioneered True3D Inspection technology over 20 years ago with the goal to create a zero-defect future. Today, our systems use our proprietary AI engine and deep machine learning to convert measurement data and inspection results into knowledge and autonomous adjustments.
The use of digital twin as a tool to digitally map your board design, materials, and processes helps reduce design turns and the time for NPI to reach production. It collates information from a real-world counterpart and then simulates the physical object in real-time while offering insights into performance and issues. This panel will discuss tips on how to optimize the process using digital twins. During the panel, a group of experts, including Ivan Aduna, the Global MES Lead at Koh Young, will provide their insights with application examples.
“Koh Young passionately believes in the power of a smart factory and the internet of things (Industry 4.0). By producing a replica of the product, a digital twin helps the engineer analyze data, in turn creating a platform to develop and refine a solution for potential problems,” comments Ivan Aduna, Koh Young Global MES Leader. “The digital twin uses real-world data to create simulations to predict how a product or process will perform. These programs can integrate the internet of things (Industry 4.0), artificial intelligence, and software analytics to enhance the output. In short, manufacturers using digital twins to augment processes will decrease costs, monitor products, and reduce downtime.

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.
SMTAI 2025 Review: Reflecting on a Pragmatic and Forward-looking Industry
10/27/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Leaving the show floor on the final afternoon of SMTA International last week in Rosemont, Illinois, it was clear that the show remains a grounded, technically driven event that delivers a solid program, good networking, and an easy space to commune with industry colleagues and meet with customers.
Come Together: Tom Marktscheffel Used Data to Build CFX and a Global Factory Standard
10/27/2025 | Sandy Gentry, Community MagazineWhen Tom Marktscheffel, director of product management software solutions at ASMPT, looks back on his nearly three decades in electronics manufacturing, one word stands out: data. “Data is the new gold,” he says. Without it, automation, artificial intelligence, and the factory of the future are impossible. With it, the industry can move from manual, error-prone processes to smart, connected systems that make real-time decisions.
Simplifying Software Integration for Every Factory

Davina McDonnell, director of marketing and product management, discusses how Cogiscan ensures that customers are ready to integrate and what it looks for to ensure a quick and appropriate installation.
MES Software Tools Need Thoughtful Integration
10/21/2025 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineThe Global Electronics Association recently published a survey report on the state of EMS production software. This project, led by Thiago Guimaraes, director of industry intelligence, connects the dots across the global electronics value chain to uncover practical insights that individual companies might not have seen on their own. In this interview, Thiago discusses the whys and hows of this report.
