Europlacer's "Intelligence in Manufacturing" event a Success

Europlacer, a designer and manufacturer of comprehensive SMT placement systems for the global electronics industry, hosted a successful Seminar/Workshop event on 7 and 8 March 2007 where presentations were made on the latest developments to the Europlacer and Speedprint machines as well as Dage X-ray and Saki AOI.

Combined with the seminars, a series of workshops were run, allowing delegates to gain a better understanding of the new features and capabilities of the equipment in a small group "hands on" environment.

The event was well attended with more than 40 delegates at the event. Feedback has been extremely positive with praise being given to its technical content rather than a pure sales presentation often used at these events.
