SAN DIEGO, CA ― As a wave of experienced engineers and technicians retire, the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) manufacturing industry faces a critical challenge: this looming skills gap threatens production efficiency and the ability to provide high-quality products. Intraratio, a leading provider of Advanced Manufacturing enterprise software solutions, will be exhibiting in Booth 732 at the 2025 IPC APEX EXPO to showcase its innovative solutions platform designed to bridge this gap and enable manufacturers in today's dynamic environment and into the future. The event is scheduled to take place March 18-20, 2025 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

The SMT industry relies heavily on highly skilled engineers and technicians who deeply understand complex processes and equipment. However, with a significant portion of the current workforce nearing retirement, the industry needs additional qualified personnel and to retain deep technical process knowledge. This knowledge transfer bottleneck can lead to:

• Loss of critical internally developed process knowledge.
• Production slowdowns due to a lack of expertise in troubleshooting and maintaining equipment.
• Quality issues as new hires struggle to learn complex procedures from scratch.
• Increased training costs associated with onboarding a less experienced workforce.
