LUTON, UK – Jaltek is thrilled to announce it has signed a new partnership that will give innovators seeking contract manufacturing and electronics solutions a single point of contact.

Jaltek are collaborating with PP Control & Automation (PP C&A) to target new orders with UK organisations involved in indoor/vertical farming, automation, precision farming and remote sensing.

Acting as a bridge between cutting-edge agricultural innovation and bringing the technology to market, this relationship will help potential customers speed up time to market, maximise output and unlock value-add design and engineering by providing access to a comprehensive suite of engineering and production capabilities.

Agritech has seen significant growth over the last few years as well as funding being directed its way.

Jalteks Claire Mackay, commented; This is a fantastic example of two UK manufacturers joining forces to deliver a solution that a fast-growing market is looking for.

Together we bring experience in agricultural machinery and equipment manufacture and we understand the unique needs and challenges of the industry. Whether you need contract manufacturing for mechanical systems or electronics assembly for sensor systems, we can cover every engineering and production capability for a fully outsourced approach to machine and system build.”

The importance of a collaborative approach has never been more clear, it is the cornerstone of transformative innovation, but for us it is also a commitment to shared goals, to the understanding that any challenges we may come across are best tackled together and that combining our expertise will always lead to better outcomes for all involved.

There is so much innovation in this country, but a lot of the time it is commercialised elsewhere. We want to reverse that trend and feel agritech is the perfect sector for us to pioneer this approach. Our partnership will allow innovation to be realised.”

Garry Myatt, Sales Director at PP Control & Automation added; This collaboration is not just about assembling parts or circuits. Its about providing the sector with the arsenal to scale up swiftly and sustainably, turning good ideas into the very fabric of agricultural innovation.”

Garry went on to say: We both share a passion for facilitating innovation and making sure the UK benefits commercially from new technology and disruptingthe status quo. What lies ahead is a partnership that extends well beyond transactions and were really excited to be working together on this pioneering new approach.”

OLDHAM, UK – Solderstar, a leader in innovative profiling solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry, is exhibiting at the SMTA International 2024 conference in Rosemont, Illinois, booth 2838, from October 22-24. This prestigious event will provide Solderstar with a platform to connect with industry leaders and showcase their state-of-the-art Reflow Shuttle, which now features crucial oxygen (O2) measurement capabilities.

SMTA International is known for presenting the latest innovations, solutions, and expertise that are shaping the future of the electronics industry. Solderstar's exhibit will highlight their continued commitment to providing advanced solutions designed to enhance manufacturing processes.

The Reflow Shuttle has been a focal point of Solderstar’s recent trade show presentations. This comprehensive profiling solution now includes all five essential measurements required for precision in reflow soldering: O2 ppm, vibration levels in three axes, vacuum, temperature profiles, and conveyor speed.

Keith Blakeley, Solderstar Sales Manager, said: "O2 levels are crucial in the reflow process, as they can affect solder joint quality. High levels of O2 can lead to oxide formation, weakening the solder joint and increasing susceptibility to failure. Additionally, O2 can cause de-wetting, preventing a good bond with the PCB.

“By precisely measuring oxygen levels and maintaining them below critical thresholds, the Reflow Shuttle ensures strong and reliable solder joints, reduces solder wastage, and optimizes nitrogen usage. This comprehensive approach increases product quality and manufacturing efficiency, equipping manufacturers with real-time insights into their reflow soldering processes and enabling informed decision-making and operational optimization.

“We are looking forward to presenting the Reflow Shuttle O2 measurement module at SMTA International and demonstrating how our solutions can significantly improve manufacturing processes.”
