The Rise of Data
At IPC APEX EXPO 2024 in April, we spoke with several EMS data analytics providers about the work they’ve been doing. Several months later, we’ve followed up to see how things have progressed.
Data analytics, dashboards, and AI agents are not here to take over, but to assist. Just as we still need pilots to land the plane or step in when automated systems go out, we still need process experts to assess the data from the floor and intervene when necessary.
We learned that the data analytics experts in our field are making rapid advances toward the ideal of expert systems on the shop floor. Join us as we get the updates and what that means for the future (and the now) of electronics manufacturing.
Learn more in this month’s issue of SMT007 Magazine.
