In a recent project, I.C.T engineers traveled to Portugal to assist a leading automotive electronics company specializing in lighting and control systems. The customer sought to modernize an older SMT line to improve efficiency and meet growing production requirements.
The delivered solution featured a fully automated configuration, including the I.C.T 5151 automatic stencil printer, I.C.T S400 3D SPI solder paste inspection system, and multiple pick-and-place machines. The focus was on seamless integration with the customer’s existing infrastructure.
Over several days, the I.C.T team conducted detailed installation and debugging work while collaborating closely with the customer’s engineers and operators. Training sessions covered machine programming, parameter adjustment (including solder paste volume and temperature profiles), troubleshooting procedures, and routine maintenance practices. Real production cycles were used during the training to ensure immediate practical understanding.
Upon completion of the work, the customer signed the acceptance document and added a handwritten comment: “Everything is fine, good Teacher!” The note highlighted satisfaction with both the equipment performance and the quality of technical support provided.
The project demonstrates I.C.T’s approach of combining quality equipment with practical, on-site service and knowledge transfer. For electronics manufacturers facing line upgrade decisions, such hands-on support can help reduce startup risks and accelerate the path to stable production.
