To Prior to joining ITW, I spent 17 years reach these goals they will need equipment in the telecommunications industry where I learned the advantages of global scale and the value of serial innovation. Q. Merging three companies into one can be a challenge. What was the reason for this integration? A. ITW wanted to simplify its business which included over 850 individual companies into a more manageable structure. The goal was to group companies with common technology, markets and manufacturing practices that could leverage that synergy for greater efficiency, growth and technology advancement. All the ITW EAE brands provide equipment to the electronic assembly market. All ITW EAE brands have reputations for driving process perfection. Manufacturers need speed, accuracy and repeatability over time to produce reliable products. Every product we make is measured by its ability to deliver on this promise.

Additionally, the Juki solution provided a complete,accurate clean kits to the production floor. comprehensive solution that included automated transaction, material tracking, and pick and put away automation that the other solutions did not offer. With the help of Juki, Vexos was able implement a new Intelligent Storage Solution system that included the installation of six Juki ISM3600 towers and one Juki ISM500 tower. This new automated material modernization system is expected to significantly improve operational efficiency with material management, automation of kitting process and complete integration with the company’s surface mount technology lines. These new enhancements will provide improved streamlined processes, increased uptime, and improved efficiencies. The new system also will provide a clean, efficient and controlled/traceable material solution including complete moisture- sensitive device (MSD) control, which is a key benefit for both current and new customers. Juki’s Intelligent Storage Solution helps eliminate manual errors while delivering accurate, clean kits to Vexos’ production floor. Additionally, this solution provides closed-loop controls for the company’s strategic equipment and software partners. “The expansion of our capabilities and service offerings is driven by the advancements we are seeing in new technology and the benefits of establishing a strong technology roadmap to ensure we are moving in the right direction for our customers,” added Morrison. “We work with customers to better understand their future technology requirements. This is why they trust us to bring the best solutions to the table. Working closely with the Juki team has been vitally important to the success of this expansion and will further enhance our capabilities as an EMS provider.” With a strategic emphasis on the future of its team as well as its customers, Vexos is dedicated to supporting advancements in new technology and helping customers develop the new products that are shaping today’s markets. Vexos is focused on building partnerships and providing a level of manufacturing excellence that customers can rely on. Partnering with companies such as Juki help make this goal a reality. Providing top-rated service is a key element to Vexos’ success. Juki’s principles align with Vexos’: from pre- sales support, installation support and responsiveness to custom integration and flexibility of solutions that met its unique business needs, Morrison said that Vexos received first- class service and support from Juki. “The technicians were knowledgeable, supportive, and went above and beyond to provide work instructions, procedures and processes to allow us to use the equipment quickly and efficiently,” he added. “These are exciting times for Vexos in Markham, and with a new wave of innovation emerging in the surrounding areas, we are seeing growing interest from OEMs looking to develop and manufacture these products right here in the heart of Ontario. These new investments gear us up nicely for the next generation of innovative products from our OEM customers and for them to leverage our expertise and new capabilities,” said Wayne Hawkins, SVP & General Manager Markham. He concluded, “Choosing Juki as our technology enhancement partner has been critical to the success of this investment. Juki has enabled Vexos to significantly improve our warehouse capabilities, which ties directly into accelerating NPI processes. We can accommodate many late design changes by our customers right up to and during builds. Additionally, our NPI and production material kitting processes are more robust because we have eliminated human error. At the end of the day, we’re helping our customers get their product to market faster, which in turn strengthens our strategic partnerships and facilitates future growth.” www.vexos.com | www.jukiamericas.comPage 24 | SEP/OCT 2019 ISSUE

TECHNOTLOODGAYYTTOEDCA Contract manufacturers are playing an increasingly important role in today’s electronic manufacturing, as more OEMs would rather focus on their core expertise and leave the manufacturing tasks to the contract manufacturers. Therefore, contract manufacturers have very diverse PCB needs because they have a very diverse customer base. They need fast turn prototypes, low-volume high- mix, high-volume low-mix and anything in between. No single factory can serve all these PCB needs. However, Super PCB can help. Super PCB has been in business for more than 15 years with extensive experience in the PCB industry. Working with more than a dozen PCB factories both in the United State and overseas, Super PCB has a comprehensive product line, consisting of FR-4 rigid PCB, flex PCB, rigid-flex PCB, aluminum-based PCB, RF PCB, HDI PCB, and more. Additionally, it can work with many materials such as FR4, High Tg (Tg170, Tg180), aluminum, high frequency and more, and available surface finishes include HAL, HAL lead-free, immersion tin, immersion silver, immersion gold, flash gold and gold finger. It also can work with controlled impedance as well as blind and/or buried vias. Customers don’t need to talk to many factories. Super PCB can be the one source for all PCB needs. This significantly simplifies customers’ buying jobs. Super PCB Jessica Zhang, program manager, said, “We have numerous years Helps Contract of experience working with various industries and clients, which is Manufacturers why we have such a stellar reputation as a PCB supplier for both prototypes and production. We cater to custom requests from Simplify PCB our clients that range from prototype PCBs to large volume PCB Purchase Process manufacturing of the highest quality.” She added that Super PCB does not skimp on quality when it comes by smt today editor to creating the best circuits for its clientele of contract manufacturers. “We are the source for all quality PCB requirements and all our PCBs Super PCB can reduce the are created and inspected under IPC class 2 standards or higher.” work load for customer Super PCB is the industry’s single source supplier for high-quality PCB needs. buyers, allowing them to do more. Buyers will Unlike other customers who focus on one aspect, for example, some not need to send RFQs to defense contractors focus on quality, price is not a concern.
