Altus to Highlight Key Manufacturing Solutions and Trends at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2025
January 15, 2025 | Altus GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Altus Group, a leading distributor of advanced electronics manufacturing equipment in the UK and Ireland, will showcase a selection of cutting-edge solutions at Southern Manufacturing and Electronics 2025 from 4-6 February at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. Visitors can learn about innovative technologies tailored to meet the evolving demands of the electronics industry at the stand, and gain valuable insights into industry trends and strategies for modernising operations during a seminar hosted by the company.
Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group, will present a session on Tuesday 4 February, titled ‘Every Challenge is an Opportunity with the Right Vision.’ The presentation will cover key trends of 2024, offering strategies for manufacturers to modernise and automate operations in order to remain competitive in a shifting market. Joe will also share insights on adapting to industry challenges and future-proofing manufacturing processes.
‘’I can’t wait for this years’ Southern Manufacturing event!” said Joe. "As a one-stop shop for electronics production, selecting what to showcase from our full range of solutions is always a challenge. However, we’ve carefully chosen four of our best-performing suppliers and processes from 2024, which address key industry challenges that the market is actively exploring.
“At the event, we’ll be demonstrating these solutions in action. We’ll also be unveiling our brand-new product brochure, featuring the latest innovations from our suppliers. But more importantly, we’re eager to hear directly from our customers about their pain points for 2025 and how we can help solve them. Last year, the event generated the most leads and meetings we’ve ever had, and we’re looking forward to achieving the same success this time around."
Altus will showcase a selection of advanced equipment including the Koh Young Alpha HS+ 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) System. This cutting-edge system uses AI-powered precision to inspect pcbs with unmatched accuracy, reducing the need for manual inspection and improving process yields. The Alpha HS+ is designed to help manufacturers maintain the highest quality standards while driving production efficiency.
Another highlight will be the PVA Delta 8 Conformal Coating and Dispensing System, a versatile solution for coating, potting, and dispensing applications. Known for its reliability and precision, the Delta 8 is ideal for high-mix production environments where consistency and flexibility are key.
Altus will also feature the Essemtec Fox ‘All in One’ System, a modular pick-and-place system that offers scalability for manufacturers working with high-mix, low-volume production. The Fox system’s small footprint and expandable design make it a perfect fit for space-constrained production lines.
Finally, the Scienscope AXC-800 III X-ray Component Counter will be on display. With an accuracy rate of 99.99%, this system helps manufacturers streamline inventory management by providing fast and precise component counting, reducing downtime and enhancing overall efficiency.
