“India is poised to become the next global manufacturing hub, and initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are encouraging the global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to utilize the Indian economic and demographic ecosystem to set their manufacturing base in the country, thus realizing self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar) agenda. Aligned with this vision, we are excited to contribute to this journey by introducing the state-of-the-art NPM-G series SMT machines.” - Manish Sharma, Chairman, Panasonic Life Solutions India and South Asia

September 2023 : Panasonic Smart Factory Solutions India (PSFSIN) – a division company of a leading diversified technology company - Panasonic Life Solutions India – has recently announced the launch of new cutting-edge NPM-G Series surface mount technology (SMT) machines, NPM-GH and NPM-GP, for Indian manufacturers. The new NPM-GH modular mounter and the NPM-GP screen printing machines mark a significant step towards realizing the concept of ‘Autonomous Factory’ operations, ushering in a new era of efficiency and precision in assembling state-of-the-art Printer Circuit Boards (PCB).

The NPM G Series SMT machines are designed to respond in real time to customer supply and demand changes through continuous, autonomous updates. This feature helps to make the autonomous factory a reality. Overall, the mounting system offers flexibility and customizable options to address the production needs of PCBAs and extend automation in manufacturing.

Commenting during the launch, Manish Sharma, Chairman of Panasonic Life Solutions India and South Asia, said, “India is poised to become the next global manufacturing hub, and initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are encouraging the global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to utilize the Indian economic and demographic ecosystem to set their manufacturing base in the country, thus realizing self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar) agenda. Aligned with this vision, we are excited to contribute to this journey by introducing the state-of-the-art NPM-G series SMT machines. These innovative solutions will empower OEMS with enhanced autonomous capabilities for PCB Assembly which are critical components for mobiles & wearables and electronic products, enabling them to scale their operations and produce world-class products right here in India.”

While emphasizing the transformative impact of these new SMT machines, Tsutomu Naito, Divisional Managing Director of Panasonic Smart Factory Solutions India said, "We aim to drive process innovation within manufacturing facilities by seamlessly integrating competitive equipment and edge devices, forming the foundation for optimizing both production lines and entire factory operations. The NPM-GH and NPM-GP SMT machines represent a significant leap forward in achieving autonomous factories that set new standards for production capacity, quality, and efficiency for PCB Assembly. These new cutting-edge machines improve the overall productivity by 12 percent when compared with previous generations of SMT machines. With this launch we reaffirm our commitment to enabling automation excellence in manufacturing, allowing manufacturers to thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of smart factories and autonomous production.”
