VIEWPOINT 2024: Shoich Rashed, Sales Director, Mek (Marantz Electronics)
With our comprehensive range of THT solutions, including manual assembly/guidance AOI and bottom up soldering inspection, these were ingredients for Mek's success. At Productronica we launched the new 3D SpectorBOX X-series with post soldering bottom-up volumetric solder joint measurement as well as pin height measurement which was extremely well received. Certain challenges continue, notably with logistics; Longer delivery times are the norm. Operator cutoff times are longer, averaging 2 weeks, with more efficient container filling contributing to the delays. Low water levels in the Panama Canal present a persistent issue, and this is unlikely to change in 2024. Recruiting qualified engineers is also a mounting challenge, but that is partly tackled by broadening the search area internationally for high-quality applicants. Despite these logistical & recruitment hurdles, the introduction of Mek's 3D THT AOI machines, growing number of THT production lines and investment in production capacity, means we expect our success to continue in 2024.
