Welcome to the Electronics Manufacturing Explorer
Step into the world of electronics manufacturing through hands-on challenges, expert conversations, and practical problem-solving - all on the SMTA International expo floor. Enter for a chance to win a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones!

Can You Keep Production Moving?
You are the lead manufacturing engineer for a new electronics product. As production begins, challenges appear throughout the assembly process, and you are tasked with getting things back on track.

How It Works
-Read the scenario for each manufacturing process.
-Consider how the problem or challenge can be identified, prevented, or resolved.
-Locate an exhibiting company or piece of equipment that could help.
-Capture a photo with your solution as proof of your visit and upload it to the Explorer site.
-Complete the station to move to the next challenge.

The subject of your submission photos will depend on the solution to each challenge. Some might involve a short conversation, and others may be a specific piece of equipment. Be creative and ask questions - we're counting on you!
