Continued from page 1 Investing in the Future This significant investment
marks more than just an expan- sion in equipment — it is a bold step forward in supporting American industry, enhancing customer value and preparing for the future. Importantly, it is another big move by a Taiwan- based company to invest in North America. Albert Tung, CEO and
chairman of EMC, stated, “This investment will enhance our ex- isting portfolio of products to be manufactured in North America with an eye on responsiveness to this market, as well as mitigat- ing risk and capacity surge. The treaters that are being installed at this facility are the latest in treating technology, with preci- sion
automation, greater throughput capacity and en-
hanced quality control, ensuring we continue to meet the ever- growing demands of our cus- tomers with superior consistency and speed.” This is a long-term invest-
ment that reinforces EMC’s com- mitment and dedication to con- tinuous improvement, opera- tional excellence and a future built on the strongest possible foundation. The targeted opera- tion date for this expansion is late 2026. EMC is also investing in the
growth strategy of another U.S. subsidiary, Technica USA, a na- tional distributor of equipment, equipment services and consum- ables in the PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, substrate, and semiconductor packaging indus- tries across North America. Both Arlon EMD and Tech- nica USA are members of the

ideal for customers seeking scal- able automation with simplified programming and real-time coat- ing path monitoring. SMarTsol is also featuring
the Techman robot with flying trigger, a breakthrough in smart automation. This collaborative robotic application uses vision- guided motion tracking to exe- cute tasks dynamically — with- out stopping for fixed triggers. The result is faster throughput, greater flexibility and enhanced
decision-making on the move. Both solutions are part of
SMarTsol’s mission to deliver for- ward-thinking automation that helps manufacturers improve quality, reduce downtime, and embrace Industry 4.0 practices. Contact: SMarTsol Tech-

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Re- searchers from MIT and else- where have designed a novel transmitter chip that significant- ly improves the energy efficiency of wireless communications, which could boost the range and battery life of a connected device. The compact, flexible system
Novel Transmitter for Wireless Devices
could be incorporated into exist- ing internet-of-things devices to provide immediate gains, while also meeting the more stringent efficiency requirements of future 6G technologies. The versatility of the chip
could make it well-suited for a range of applications that re- quire careful management of en- ergy for communications, such as industrial sensors. The new chip enabled trans-
missions with only about one- quarter the amount of signal er- ror of methods that use optimal modulation. Web:
