SEMICON Southeast Asia Debuts in Kuala Lumpur


Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — SEMI- CON Southeast Asia will make its debut in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, May 8-10, at the new Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC). The move from Penang to Kuala


Lumpur is expected to attract new participation from key electronics clusters within Malaysia’s central and southern regions. The event will pro- vide greater access to the entire down- stream electronics manufacturing supply chain. Organized by SEMI, SEMICON


Southeast Asia has a recent history in Malaysia. In 2016, the conference was the largest ever held at SPICE Arena in Penang, with approximate- ly 6,700 visitors and over 200 exhibitors. This marked a 15 percent


growth from 2016, making the con- ference the largest in three years. The move to Kuala Lumpur, with a larger venue, will accommodate the expanding size of the conference. The growth of SEMICON


Southeast Asia can be attributed in part to the rapid expansion of Malaysia’s electrical and electronics (E&E) market, which contributes 44 percent of the total manufacturing output and 26 percent of the total GDP of the region. Highlights of the show include:


more than 300 booths and over 200 exhibitors; new failure analysis and future electronics manufacturing pavilions; opening ceremony with the Malaysian minister of international trade and industry; an investment seminar on Vietnam with presenta- tions from Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Industry Association


(HSIA), ICDREC and Microlux. Contact: SEMI, 3081 Zanker

highlights, and things to do around Rosemont. Another new addition to the edu-


cational program will be a series of Tech Talk sessions. Attendees can come with their questions, or their advice, and talk with colleagues about their solutions to common problems in product assembly, in booth 2423. These 20-minute sessions will be facil- itated by the editors of ASSEMBLY and other manufacturing publications and organizations with several topics, including: Broken Bonds — Challenges in Adhesive Bonding; My Robot Won’t Do What I Say — Challenges in Robotic Assembly; We’re Screwed — Challenges with


Threaded Fasteners; and Our Kanban Canned — Challenges with Lean Manufacturing. The new “Just Smash It!” ses-


sion will put everyday objects to the test to see how much force it takes to smash them. Presented by Promess, this entertainingly destructive seg- ment is based on the company’s pop- ular YouTube segment where they use a hydraulic press to see what it takes to destroy items, such as an iPhone or a bowling ball. The ses- sions will take place on Wednesday, October 25, at 4:00 p.m. and again on Thursday, October 26, at 10:20 a.m. On Wednesday, October 25, Derek Harper, VP of information
