CHATSWORTH, CA – NEOTech, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), design engineering, and supply chain solutions in the high-tech industrial, medical device, and aerospace/defense markets, is thrilled to announce the implementation of improved technology to further enhance barcode tracking in the production of high-tech medical devices. This new system ensures precise tracking of every component from inventory to final assembly, providing unparalleled transparency and traceability throughout the manufacturing process.

The newly implemented system meticulously tracks every surface mount technology (SMT) component reel by part number, date code, and lot number. As components are assembled for medical device manufacturing, each printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) receives a unique serial number, and every component part number and lot number are meticulously tied and tracked to that serial number.

In response to the stringent requirements of medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), NEOTech has taken on the responsibility of improving barcode product tracking at multiple checkpoints within the manufacturing process. This proactive approach enables rapid identification and resolution of any issues related to defective components, aligning with the high reliability and quality standards demanded by medical device OEMs.

Marco Antonio Lopez, General Manager of NEOTech’s Agave manufacturing site in Juarez, Mexico, emphasized the company’s dedication to customer satisfaction, stating: “Our medical device customers’ peace of mind regarding accurate product tracking is of utmost importance to us. At NEOTech, we value our customers’ products as much as they do. While we already had a robust tracking technology in place, we are committed to enhancing the customer experience and confidence by expanding this technology on the production floor.”

NEOTech continues to prioritize innovation and customer-centric solutions, ensuring that its services consistently meet the evolving needs of the medical device industry. The company’s goal is to successfully convert customers’ product technology into engineered products, providing the most capable supply base, manufacturing products with care and delivering them on time. The company is large enough to offer refined Tier 1 tools, processes, and capabilities, yet small enough to provide individualized care and service. NEOTech provides tailored project- by-project services that focus on each customer’s individual, unique needs. The result is a true collaboration in which the customer’s needs are met – or exceeded – in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

With more than 40 years of heritage in electronics manufacturing, NEOTech specializes in high- reliability programs in the Aerospace & Defense industry, Medical products, and High-Tech Industrial markets. NEOTech is well recognized as a premier EMS provider with in-depth experience manufacturing high-tech products and managing stringent US government requirements.

DONGGUAN, CHINA ― Sasinno USA is pleased to announce plans to exhibit in Hall A2, Stand 275 at productronica 2023, scheduled to take place Nov. 14-17 at Neue Messe München in Munich, Germany. The company is gearing up to showcase its cutting-edge MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine with Electro Magnetic Pump and Unit-i1 selective soldering system, highlighting its commitment to revolutionizing electronics manufacturing.

The MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine boasts a three-section conveyor system, efficiently handling fluxing, preheating and soldering stages. By optimizing the workflow, the MAS-i2 reduces downtime and enhances production efficiency, with one board in soldering, another in preheating, and a third in fluxing. The system can accommodate two fluxer valves, offering flexibility to choose identical or different valves. For instance, the use of two drop jet valves can effectively double production, or a combination of a drop jet valve and a micro-spray valve enables simultaneous application of two distinct fluxes.

The soldering capabilities of the MAS-i2 are equally impressive, featuring two individual solder pots in separate Z-axis assemblies. This enables soldering on PCBs up to W508 x L508mm (20" x 20") for two nozzles individually or W235 x L508mm (9.25" x 20") for two parallel nozzles. The system's unique flexibility extends to solder pump options, allowing users to employ one solder pump, two pumps simultaneously for accelerated speed, or a combination of different nozzle sizes and solder types without the hassle of changing components.

The Unit-i1 is the latest generation compact inline selective soldering machine. This multifunctional solution integrates a drop jet fluxer nozzle, bottom IR preheating, selective solder pot, and AOI function within a space- saving 55" footprint. The Unit-i1 serves as a comprehensive station for fluxing, preheating, soldering, and inspection. Its versatility shines whether used as a standalone unit or as part of a modular system. For high-volume production, boards can be loaded consecutively, and for varied production needs, each machine can work independently.

With a global reputation for "Smart and Steady Innovation," Sasinno has cultivated a robust worldwide distribution network supported by well-trained engineers. For more selective soldering & turkey THT line solution details, visit www.sasinno.com
