A first for Thailand: SIPLACE V ushers in a new era of SMT manufacturing

With the SIPLACE V platform, newly-developed from the ground up, ASMPT is once again setting new standards in performance, flexibility, and process quality. Independent field tests conducted under real-world production conditions have demonstrated performance gains of up to 30 percent in key sectors of electronics manufacturing, including automotive, consumer electronics, smartphones, and IT and network infrastructure. The SIPLACE V combines maximum speed with high precision and flexibility.

More speed and precision

The SIPLACE V features an innovative machine frame and highly efficient linear drives as well as measurement systems with enhanced resolution. This enables higher acceleration and even more accuracy. The platform supports both single- and dual-lane configurations, Smart Pin support, and high-density placement of complex assemblies. 

“With the new SIPLACE V, we are providing electronics manufacturers with a platform that integrates seamlessly into existing production environments while laying the groundwork for future automation and AI applications,” explains Sopchock Yuttawong, General Manager at ASMPT SMT Solutions Thailand. “This enables companies to modernize their manufacturing in a targeted manner while ensuring that their investments remain secure in the long term.”

Software and intelligent connectivity

In addition to hardware, ASMPT is showcasing the latest software and service solutions for intelligent manufacturing with applications from the WORKS Software Suite as well as the Factory Solution SMT Analytics. These solutions collect and analyze production data in real time, identify deviations early on, and help electronics manufacturers to improve productivity, quality, and line performance.

WORKS Optimization integrates data from printing, placement, SPI, and AOI processes across the entire SMT line, detects process deviations and recurring defect patterns at an early stage, and provides actionable recommendations. In solder paste printing, optimizations can be carried out fully automatically to stabilize processes and reduce scrap. WORKS Monitoring visualizes all relevant production metrics in real time and provides detailed views down to the line or machine level. This is complemented by SMT Analytics, which compares production data from different lines, identifies bottlenecks, and reveals additional optimization potential using AI-powered analyses.

Intelligent closed-loop nozzle management

Another highlight is ASMPT’s new closed-loop nozzle management system. Using RFID-equipped “smart nozzles” and intelligent condition monitoring, the application controls maintenance, cleaning, and nozzle replacement automatically and as needed. When combined with the Factory Equipment Center and the Smart Nozzle Station, it helps improve process stability and product quality while reducing unplanned downtime.

Digital services and AI-powered support

In the service area, ASMPT is showcasing offerings such as the newly launched Customer Portal and the Virtual Assist application, an AI-powered expert system designed to support service and maintenance technicians.
During the trade show, daily live presentations will be held showcasing the SIPLACE V. Visitors will gain practical insights into modern placement processes, intelligent software functions, and solutions for demanding high-mix and high-throughput manufacturing environments whilst at the ASMPT Booth.
