Marcy LaRont met with Clemens Jargon at the Mycronic booth. They discussed innovations in machine technology, including reduced process times that allow operators to program in under 10 minutes. The introduction of the new MYPro A40DX platform for large boards and the new BA 01 small dot ejector—engineered to redefine flexibility in jet printing for precision, efficiency, and more flexibility are showcased. The conversation highlights the importance of innovation and addressing customer needs in the market.

In electronics manufacturing, conversations about training often revolve around one narrow question: What does it cost? Training requires time, materials, instructor fees, and occasionally travel. Under tight budget constraints, it is understandable that organizations scrutinize these expenses. However, this perspective misses a far more important and financially meaningful point: What is the cost of quality brought about by training? Framed differently: What does it cost when training does not occur?

Running an EMS provider company isn’t just about keeping production lines moving; it’s about leading people, managing constant change, and staying ahead in an industry that never slows down. From my seat as CEO, I’ve learned that great leadership for EMS providers comes down to three things: adaptability, trust, and purpose. The EMS supplier world moves fast. New technologies pop up almost every day, customer expectations evolve, and global supply chains can change overnight. One week it’s a component shortage, the next it’s a new regulation or trade shift.

In advanced electronics, thermal management has become the silent determinant of performance. As devices shrink and power densities soar, how we handle heat defines not only the reliability of a system but also the pace of innovation itself. High-tech thermal control is no longer a supporting role, but a core enabler of modern technology, encompassing power modules and RF devices, as well as electric vehicles and medical systems.
