In a typical scene repeated across electronics manufacturing facilities worldwide, a mid-sized EMS provider in Vietnam found itself contending with persistent solder paste printing defects that threatened delivery schedules and quality targets.
The company, specializing in automotive and industrial boards, experienced regular issues including bridging, insufficient paste volume, and misalignment on fine-pitch components. After a detailed line audit, I.C.T recommended and installed their advanced automatic solder paste printer featuring closed-loop pressure control, high-resolution vision alignment, and automated stencil cleaning.
I.C.T engineers conducted comprehensive on-site training covering optimal process parameters, daily maintenance routines, and systematic defect troubleshooting. Within the first month of operation, the client reported a reduction in printing-related defects from approximately 12% to below 3%, with corresponding gains in overall line yield.
The project highlights I.C.T’s commitment to delivering not only stable, high-quality SMT equipment but also practical, localized support that helps customers establish repeatable processes.
