Thailand’s printed circuit board industry is expanding fast, but its next test may be less about production capacity than carbon competitiveness.
Wichiene Ngamsukkarsemsri sits at the center of that transition. He is Managing Director of Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation Thailand, which provides automation and data systems for industrial energy management, and Vice President of the Thailand Printed Circuit Association (THPCA), whose more than 200 members span PCB fabricators, chemical and plating suppliers, equipment providers and logistics companies.
In an interview with RECCESSARY, Wichiene discussed how factory data is being used to support decarbonization, where global customer pressure is landing across the PCB supply chain, and why access to green electricity remains the biggest constraint for Thailand’s manufacturers.
Unlock the full article to explore three key takeaways:
Decarbonization pressure is spreading beyond PCB fabricators to chemicals, plating, equipment and logistics firms across the supply chain.
THPCA is positioning itself as a connector between PCB fabricators, suppliers, logistics firms and technology providers as carbon pressure spreads across the supply chain.
Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation Thailand sees factory data as the starting point for decarbonization, helping manufacturers visualize energy use, waste and automation opportunities.
