Scheduled for the day before the opening of the 2022 IMDA Symposium (which will take place two hours away in Ypsilanti, Michigan), the optional plant tour will feature “a day in the life” of real-time production at Nissha Eimo Technologies.

- Screen printing/IML
- TOM process
- Automated pad printing with cobot
