Reed Exhibitions would like to announce that due to the effects of Coronavirus in China, and in order to protect the health and safety of the exhibitors, visitors, and all involved in exhibition, NEPCON China 2020 will be tentatively postponed to June 17-19, 2020 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. The show was originally scheduled for April 22-24, 2020.
“China has become the world electronics manufacturing hub after more than 30 years of development,” commented Thomas Huang, Senior Vice President of Reed Exhibitions Greater China. “EMS factories in China like FOXCONN not only import world-class SMT equipment from abroad, but also purchase from local equipment suppliers. Today, China equipment suppliers produce pick-and-place, soldering and inspection machines as well as high-quality robotic equipment. We know the effects of Coronavirus are far-reaching, but we are confident that China will quickly recover and continue operations.”

During factory visits, I've witnessed what’s happened to our workforce after the pandemic. Sometimes it looks like operator separation for social distancing, working extra shifts to cover for lost or missing employees due to illness, workers who now work from home, or they have simply found working no longer suits them. One possible solution when you can’t hire skilled technicians is to look at automation, particularly automation for soldering. For many it was a “feature piece” for the obligatory factory tour just to demonstrate to potential customers they are forward thinking. Now it’s a reality to solve a true workforce shortage issue. But why use a robotic soldering system?

Successful skills training is a crucial part of the onboarding process and can take experienced staff members away from their primary jobs on the manufacturing floor. Effective training to onboard new employees can not only speed up the ramp-up times, but can also be customized to a company’s specific needs. We posed these four questions about new hire training to Sharon Montana-Beard, vice president of sales and operations at Blackfox.
