ASMPT showcases the future of SMT manufacturing live The APEX Expo 2026 in Anaheim offered visitors an impressive glimpse into the future of SMT manufacturing. Attendees had the chance to experience a fully integrated production line firsthand and see innovative technologies in action. Precision, speed, and intelligent manufacturing solutions were the focus throughout the event. From March 14 to 19, ASMPT presented a complete SMT production line at the exhibition. Highlights included the new SIPLACE V placement platform, the DEK TQ L solder paste printer, the Process Lens SPI system, and the DEK TQ XL printer for extra-large boards up to 850 × 610 mm and 12 kg. Visitors could observe how ASMPT combines hardware and software to achieve real production improvements, rather than theoretical concepts. The WORKS Software Suite demonstrated how ASMPT manages shop-floor workflows, maintains assets efficiently, and analyzes processes with AI. Attendees gained full transparency over the production process and saw firsthand how connected, data-driven lines increase efficiency and quality. Industry professionals also had the opportunity to discuss solutions for high-mix, high-volume SMT production with ASMPT experts and gain practical insights into modern manufacturing. APEX Expo 2026 confirmed once again that ASMPT delivers intelligent SMT solutions that make production lines measurably more efficient, flexible, and future-ready.
