AIM Solder, a leading
global manufacturer
of solder assembly
materials for the elec-
tronics industry, is
pleased to announce
the appointment of
Josh Zhou to Regional Sales Manager
for AIM Solder China.
Leo Lambert, vice
president and techni-
cal advisor at EPTAC,
shares with Nolan
Johnson the current
trends and emerging
needs in certification training. Like so many things
in our industry at the moment, training is changing.
Not only is the curriculum changing, but how we
teach it is evolving rapidly. Lambert discusses how
EPTAC is meeting these new needs.
John Sandilands, director
of sales at HZO, explains
his company's approach to
the coating process, and
how it stands out for com-
panies wanting to protect
their electronics products
from harsh conditions. The secret is in the
process itself, John says.
Mike Konrad invited three
experts within the AOI
space to answer 10 ques-
tions: Brian D'Amico, presi-
dent of MIRTEC USA; Joel
Scutchfield, general man-
ager of SMT business operations and director of
sales at Koh Young America, Inc.; and Arif Virani,
COO of Darwin AI. In this insightful interview, we
delve into the pivotal role of automated inspection
systems in the electronics assembly industry.
In Washington, D.C., Brussels, and
worldwide, it has been an "interest-
ing" year in the halls of government,
and the IPC Government Relations
team is gearing up for a busy winter
season of advocacy on the electronics
industry's behalf. So far this year, we
have seen a series of policy develop-
ments that IPC and its members and
allies have been urging for years.
