IPC Apex Series, Day 2, Interview 6- Phil Marcoux

The Father of Surface Mount Technology.... Let that sink in for a moment.


Phil Marcoux was gracious enough to join Elias, Daniel, and Sean for an amazing conversation starting with the contested beginnings of SMT and working up to AI and it's applications in the EMS world.

Phil makes a fascinating comparison between the introduction of SMT into PCBA and where we are currently with AI

He also gives praise to Sean for a recent novel idea he had during a meeting they both attended.

It was truly a privilege to sit with Papa SMT, 10 minutes was no where near enough time for our inquisitive minds.

Fortunately Elias may have a touch of salesmanship in him, as he asks for the sale via an on film request and acceptance from Phil for a full length Podcast episode in the near future!
