All Circuits' Success in Guadalajara and Embracing Automation with GM Pascal Aubois

EMS@C-LEVEL

Join me, Philip Stoten, in Guadalajara with Hecho en México editor, Joseph Arévalo, as we explore the trends impacting manufacturing in México. We start with a visit to All Circuits, known locally as GDL Sensing, who since my last visit have grown more than four fold, Their impressive leap from one to four production lines is fueled by a robust 20% annual growth. Together with Plant General Manager Pascal Aubois, I examine the strategic acumen that navigates the shifting terrains of inflation and local policies. We draw back the curtain, revealing the crucial advantage Mexico offers, especially for U.S. brands contemplating the strategic shift away from China and embracing near-shoring.
The conversation shifts towards the technical aspects of automation and its role in the high-mix production environment. Pascal navigates us through the challenges of integrating adaptable automation, and we discus his strategy of a constant equipment set in a 31 meter SMT line. The commitment to efficiency and unwavering quality shines through as we explore All Circuits' commitment to minimal manual intervention on the line. Pascal, with his deep expertise, provides a masterclass on sustaining top-tier manufacturing operations amid a landscape of rising labor costs and technological advancement.
