Application of S&M SMT equipment in home appliances and smart home
As the home appliance industry evolves towards intelligence and IoT, market demand for smart refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and smart TVs continues to grow. Product iterations not only pursue high performance and multi-functionality, but also demand smaller, thinner, and more reliable control and communication modules.
Haier, Midea, Gree, and TCL, globally renowned home appliance brands, are comprehensively upgrading their smart home products, requiring large-scale, stable, and high-precision electronics manufacturing capabilities. S&M provides customers with complete line solutions from SMT and soldering to smart peripheral management, supporting the efficient and reliable production of smart home appliances. Against this backdrop, S&M’s SMT equipment offers high reliability.
The role of SMT equipment in the production of control boards and communication modules
Control boards and communication modules are the core “brains” of smart home appliances. These PCBs often require densely populated components and stable communication capabilities.
Haier uses S&M reflow soldering equipment in the production of control boards for its IoT refrigerators and smart washing machines, ensuring reliable soldering of complex PCBs.
Midea and Gree use S&M’s fully automatic loading and unloading machines and docking stations in the production of air conditioner main control boards and Wi-Fi modules, ensuring smooth board transfer and real-time inspection on high-speed production lines.
S&M’s SMT equipment helps customers ensure the stability of mass production and the reliability of each control board.
Product requirements: stability, mass production capability
Home appliance control panels place extremely high demands on production line continuity and mass production capacity. Any line stoppage or soldering defect directly impacts shipments and user experience.
Gree and TCL’s air conditioner and smart TV production lines operate at high loads year-round, requiring equipment with high stability, high yield, and the ability to quickly switch lines.
S&M’s complete SMT line solutions, including reflow, wave soldering, selective wave soldering, and intelligent peripheral equipment, support stable 24/7 operation to meet customers’ large-scale, long-running production needs.
