Since 2003, we have been working in the SMT industry, from technicians to engineers to SMT supervisors to later start-up and establishment of our own company. , keep going, and send out a little bit of light and heat for the SMT industry.
Q1: When did you enter the SMT industry?
Q2: What is your biggest feeling about the SMT industry in the past 30 years since the start of SMT in my country?
A2: The biggest feeling is that the development of SMT equipment is getting smarter, faster and more flexible. With the simultaneous circulation of new and old equipment in the market, the price of equipment is lower than before, and the speed is faster. Now equipment is leased The model is popular, so the threshold for the SMT industry is getting lower and lower, and the market is more subdivided and more active. Taking the Shenzhen area where we are located as an example, it is really a mass entrepreneurship, and there are many small and medium-sized enterprises in SMT manufacturing.
Q3: SMT technology is composed of SMT components, SMT equipment, SMT process, SMT accessories, SMT testing and many other links and factors. Which part do you think people in the industry pay more attention to? What are the technical bottlenecks currently encountered by the SMT industry?
A3: What is more concerned about is the high speed, stability and flexibility of the equipment, because the current life cycle of electronic products is significantly shorter than before, so there is no so-called long order and large order before, more small batches with multiple varieties, or occasional One of the most popular products needs to be imported immediately, such as last year’s ETC and this year’s forehead thermometer. The equipment you buy must be able to quickly adapt to this transformation. The transformation of product orders is too fast, so that the equipment purchased before evaluation may not be suitable for existing products. , which also gave birth to the current boom in the equipment rental market. And SMT equipment manufacturers have to launch matching equipment to adapt to the market. Now SMT equipment manufacturers are gradually concentrating, and some brands have withdrawn from the existing market. At present, I personally feel that the SMT industry is not a technical bottleneck, and it is facing innovations in improving efficiency, reducing costs, non-standard automation and process.
Q4: In the new era, with the support of new technologies such as 5G technology, big data, and the Internet of Things, what opportunities and challenges will the entire electronics manufacturing industry have?
A4: This year’s new crown epidemic has had a great impact on the global economy, and the situation in the first quarter is not optimistic. Because of this, the country will also launch a series of economic stimulus policies after the epidemic to increase the development of the 5G industry chain, the Internet of Things, the big Data and these industries are closely related to electronic manufacturing. Intelligence and electronization are the major trends. The electronics industry will usher in great development after the epidemic.
Q5:
What are your expectations for the electronics manufacturing industry?
A5: Looking forward to domestic electronic equipment manufacturers to create more cost-effective and stable equipment to replace imports, such as GKG and Desen in the field of printing machines, so that small and medium-sized enterprises in our country can enjoy more made in China. brought dividends. Looking forward to using new network technologies to provide better display platforms and communication opportunities.
Q6:
With the development of 5G, investment in advanced packaging in downstream equipment will be stimulated, and the demand for SMT equipment for new base stations and mobile phone products will also be accelerated. What is your opinion on the current process of localization of SMT equipment?
A6: The localization of SMT equipment is now mainly about the placement machine. Through my visits to customers and some SMT factories for reference, at present, most of SMT printing machines, AOI, ICT, reflow soldering and wave front soldering are basically domestically produced. The localization of the most important part of the SMT production line is still very low. At present, the domestic production is mainly customized for some products, such as the domestic production of LED light panels. The placement machine has the advantages of high production capacity and low price, and the disadvantage is that it cannot adapt to the production of different products and has large limitations.
