Panasonic Features Incap UK in New Case Study on Sustainable SMT Growth
August 29, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Incap UK’s latest SMT upgrade has been recognised by Panasonic in a newly published case study, highlighting our long-term commitment to smarter, more sustainable electronics manufacturing.
The second phase of our investment programme, completed in May 2025, replaced four older SMT lines with two high-performance Panasonic lines. Equipped with NPM-GP/L high-speed printers, AM100 pick-and-place machines, and intelligent feeders, the upgrade has boosted output by more than 55% while reducing defect rates by 49%.
Jamie Maughan, Managing Director of Incap UK, commented on this milestone:“This investment strengthens our ability to support current and future customer demand while also improving operational efficiency.”
Beyond capacity, the upgrade delivers smarter operations with barcode-based scanning, real-time process visibility, and readiness for ERP integration. These enhancements enable faster response to line changes, improved traceability, and greater energy efficiency, aligning with our sustainability goals.
Panasonic’s case study emphasises how this strategic investment positions Incap UK to better serve critical sectors such as medical, defence, and industrial technologies. With enhanced flexibility, reduced material waste, and a smaller environmental footprint, our UK factory is now a flagship site in demonstrating how targeted technology upgrades can modernise production and strengthen customer partnerships.
