The automation of the SMT industry continues to evolve. Today the topic of managing operations systematically and integrating traceability information to the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) has become crucial in achieving higher productivity within today's SMT factories. Youngpool Technology's L-3 Automatic Splicing Machine has been developed as a solution to this challenge. The L-3 helps to improve outgoing quality, enhance management via MES, and reduce operating cost.
