The annual event was held at Horizon’s Brighton, MI facility and provided attendees with hands-on demonstrations, expert insights, and an invaluable opportunity to explore the latest in electronics manufacturing technology.
This year’s event featured live equipment demonstrations from industry-leading manufacturers, including PARMI (SigmaX SPI and Xceed AOI), Juki (Incoming Material Station and Essegi Storage Towers), Essemtec (Puma All-in-One Jetting and Pick-and-Place), Cogiscan, Promation (CoBot Soldering Cell), Pace (Soldering Stations), PDR (Model E3 Rework Station), and Quasi (C2 Cart-AI Autonomous Robot), among others. Every participating supplier brought samples and products for hands-on presentations, sparking conversations and solution-focused engagement with attendees.
