Seminar on RoHS Compliant Electronics Manufacturing at Pragati Maidan

NEW DELHI, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The Seminar Will Explain RoHS Regulations, how to Optimise key Processes, the Potential Problems at Each Stage of Manufacturing and how to Avoid Them

Electronics Bazaar magazine, an EFY Group publication, is organising a seminar on RoHS Compliant Electronics Manufacturing: Challenges, Solutions & Opportunities, on Feb. 21, 2013, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, 2 pm onwards. The seminar is a part of the third edition of the mega exhibition - EFY Expo 2013, being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

Lead-free assembly has an impact on design, manufacture and the potential reliability of electronic products. Although the fundamental production processes do not change, the process parameters do, and a number of issues may arise which in turn can affect yields. This seminar will provide practical insights into the inspection criteria, the changes that will take place in the process conditions and how to monitor the process to get the highest yields.

The seminar will explain RoHS regulations, how to optimise key processes, the potential problems at each stage of manufacturing and how to avoid them. It will also discuss using the right technology to reduce costs. More importantly, it will discuss the impact of lead-free manufacturing on business opportunities in overseas markets as well as in India.

The seminar has 4 sessions, namely:

• RoHS' impact on business opportunities
• Impact of RoHS regulations on electronics products
• Challenges of supporting RoHS/lead-free assembly on the shop floor and possible solutions
• Latest technologies and manufacturing equipment to manufacture RoHS compliant electronics

The seminar will be addressed by eminent industry leaders like:
