Heriberto Cuevas is the country manager for Koh Young America’s Mexico business. EMSNOW picks his brain about current conditions in this evolving and growing region for electronics manufacturing. The last 8 years, he says, has been all about automotive, but that’s now changing dramatically as AI drives hardware deployment in computers and servers for data centers. The EMS industry in Mexico is adapting rapidly and Koh Young has developed new inspection solutions to meet these new manufacturing requirements. The talented Mexican engineering workforce is quickly adopting and applying these new AI tools: as Heriberto quips, ‘People won’t necessarily lose their jobs to AI, but they will lose them if they don’t use AI to do their jobs better.’ Wise words, from this insightful interview.
