NEPCON China Focuses on the “Dream” Smart Factory
Shanghai, China — This year’s theme at NEPCON China is the “dream” fac- tory of smart electronics man u factur - ing. In its 28th year, the exhibition will be held from April 24 to 26,2018, at the Shanghai World EXPO Exhibition & Convention Center. The theme of the exhibition
revolves around technologies that are turning the “dream” of the smart factory into reality, such as scalable automation and machine-to-machine communications, as well as advances in machine vision and learning. NEPCON China showcases
over 500 brands from the global elec- tronics manufacturing industry, cov- ering areas that include SMT, manu- facturing automation, soldering, dis- pensing, spray coating, test, and measurement. A range of technical forums will allow visitors to meet with industry leaders and gain

Increasingly miniature and multi- functional devices, as well as the explosive growth of mobile phones, tablets and other consumer micro- electronics products, have driven the SMT industry in China. New appli- cations are coming to the fore, such as more complex automotive elec- tronic systems, medical electronics, avionics, wearables, and intelligent household appliances.
