I.C.T Expertise Launches Uruguay’s Smart Meter Factory with Precision
As the engineering supervisor for a new smart electric meter factory in Uruguay, I witnessed I.C.T's engineers transform our vision into reality. Their tailored SMT and DIP line setups and hands-on training ensured our team was ready to deliver quality from day one. Contact smt@smt11.com.
By an Engineering Supervisor at a Smart Electric Meter Factory
Starting a smart electric meter factory in Uruguay was a bold leap, and as the engineering supervisor, I needed a partner who could match our ambition with expertise. I.C.T delivered exactly that, proving their value as a trusted ally in manufacturing.
In March 2024, I.C.T engineers Peter and Andy arrived at our Paraguay facility with a clear mission: turn our empty space into a high-performing production hub. They provided a custom layout for our SMT and DIP lines, carefully positioning equipment like the I.C.T-4034 stencil printer, Lyra-622 reflow oven, and I.C.T-AI-5146 AOI machine for optimal efficiency. The DIP line's wave soldering systems were installed with the same precision, ensuring our production could meet rigorous quality standards.
What set I.C.T apart was their focus on empowering our team. Beyond setting up machines, they delivered in-depth training on everything from PCB programming to component library management. Their hands-on approach included practical exercises, like nozzle selection and troubleshooting, which equipped our engineers to handle real-world challenges. By the end, our team earned certifications, a nod to their readiness and I.C.T's thorough process.
I.C.T commitment to tailored solutions and client success made our launch seamless. They didn't just provide equipment-they built our confidence to scale. For manufacturers aiming to start strong, I.C.T is the partner to trust.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
