Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

Delta Thailand Reinforces 4IR Leadership and Smart Energy Vision at i-Forum 2025
June 2, 2025 | Delta ThailandEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Delta Thailand reaffirmed its role in advancing industrial automation and sustainable innovation at i-Forum 2025. Held on May 9 by the Faculty of Engineering at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, the forum focused on the theme “Leading the 4IR Revolution: Key Lessons from the WEF Global Lighthouse Network.” The event brought together industry leaders, global experts, policymakers, and academics to explore strategies for enhancing Thailand’s industrial competitiveness through Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies.
During a panel discussion, Mr. Sann Laohakullawudhi, Senior Manager of Industrial Automation, Delta Thailand, shared Delta’s practical approach to transformation: “Digital transformation starts with a clear purpose. At Delta, we implement technology in phases to ensure measurable impact and long-term value. True 4IR success also means empowering people not just upgrading machines.”
Delta at i-forum
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) represents a shift in industrial capability driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and data analytics. A central reference point at the forum was the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network an international group of manufacturers recognized for successfully applying 4IR technologies at scale to achieve innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability.
The forum was officially opened by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wanchai Yodsudjai, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, who highlighted its role in supporting Thailand’s transition to smart manufacturing. Dr. Damrong Sripraram, Acting President of Kasetsart University, emphasized the importance of industry-academic collaboration in driving innovation. Representing the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), Ms. Sudhasinee Samit, Executive Director of the Investment Strategy and Policy Division, spoke on aligning investment strategies with national goals for high-tech and sustainable industrial growth.

Attendees at the forum explored advanced solutions in IT/OT integration, intelligent automation, and smart energy management through Delta’s showcase. The company’s end-to-end technologies enable data-driven operations, improve efficiency, and support carbon reduction goals. These solutions are already deployed across various sectors in the region, helping enhance responsiveness and optimize resource use in smart factories.
Delta views education-industry collaboration as an important way to support engineering talent development in Thailand. The Delta Power Electronics Laboratory, already established in four leading Thai universities including Kasetsart University, will expand to seven universities later this year. Through this program, more than 100 students annually receive hands-on training in industrial automation and energy systems using real-world tools and technologies. While the program does not require students to join Delta after graduation, it helps equip future engineers with practical experience that contributes to strengthening Thailand’s high-tech talent pool.
Looking ahead, Delta remains committed to its sustainable development plans, which include regional industrial development, smart energy integration, and nurturing Thailand’s next generation of engineers and innovators.
