Ruthnam has connections that extend throughout the region’s high-tech industry, so he understands the region’s ambition and the strength of its confidence. “Wherever you are, building world-class electronic products requires making the right investments to stay at the forefront of manufacturing technology. My team’s mission is to ensure that enterprises here get the best advice and the support they need to achieve their goals.”

Truth Electronic’s services include supplying Yamaha SMT equipment and designing factory buildings to ensure the safest and most productive environment. The company enjoys a close connection with Yamaha Robotics, representing the brand exclusively in the region. Yamaha’s solutions for screen printing, component placement, component storage/retrieval, and automated optical inspection can handle the most advanced component styles in use today, from 01005-size SMD passives and ICs in tiny chip-scale packages to large or non-standard parts like some automotive connectors.

“The SMT capability is the cornerstone of a factory, with a defining influence over other equipment and the way activities and processes are organised,” Terence explains. “In addition to pure speed, the printing and mounting accuracy, accelerated programming and setup, and unique features that enable automated changeovers make Yamaha’s portfolio stand out. The user interface has the latest graphics to simplify operation, and there are optional software packages to enhance productivity and assist scheduling, monitoring, and traceability. Overall, the performance and flexibility help us ensure our customers always get the best solution meeting their needs.”
