Indian Component Manufacturing Needs Big Push!
Leaptech Corp. was established to help the Indian electronics and semiconductor manufacturing companies achieve global standards by adopting the latest technologies.
The company currently represents the world's leading companies offering automation equipment for PCB assembly, semiconductor, automotive and final assembly automation.
In an exclusive with Pradeep Chakraborty, Suresh Nair, director, Leaptech, talks about the company's endeavour toward assisting the electronics, semiconductor and automotive manufacturing industries in India. Excerpts:
EFY: How is Leaptech helping the electronics, semiconductor and automotive manufacturing companies in India?
Suresh Nair: Leaptech helps the Indian electronics, semiconductor and automotive component manufacturing companies to achieve global standards by bringing in state-of-the-art assembly automation technologies from across the world. We represent many foreign principals in India for their latest assembly technologies and solutions.
EFY: Elaborate on service contracts of all equipments of your principals and machines sold. What is the kind of after-sales service?
 Suresh Nair: We provide pre-sales as well as post-sales service support to all of our potential customers. We also help customers choose the correct technologies and solutions to suit their requirement during the pre-sales process.
All products are sold by us with a standard one-year warranty, which will cover material and labour for one year, service support is provided on-site free of any charges.
EFY: What kind of training do you provide on operational and maintenance aspects of through hole insertion and SMT machines?
Suresh Nair: During machine installation, we provide the complete operational training, regular maintenance training and first level troubleshooting training to the technicians of the customers. This is applicable across all of our product catalogues of through hole and SMT technologies.
EFY: Elaborate on the consultancy services that enable customers meet global standards in PCB assembly.
Suresh Nair: We provide consultancy services for a totally new set-up for PCB assembly as well as consultancy services for new product introduction (NPI) in PCB assembly.
We have a team of high qualified and experiences engineers who are experts in process related activities. We can help customers set-up a new unit with all necessary inputs that are required for the same.
EFY: What is your take and position regarding connected mobile devices? How do you see this segment growing in the years to come?
Suresh Nair: Mobile devices, if you are talking about mobile handsets, are a growing product segment. However most of the demand is met with imports from other countries, especially China.
The Indian government should come out with special incentives for encouraging local companies to manufacture the same in India. Most of the Indian brands find it cheaper and convenient to import the devices from China than manufacture them locally, which needs to change.
EFY: What is Leaptech doing with regard to driving automotive electronics toward energy efficiency?
Suresh Nair: We are equipment suppliers for assembly of PCBs to the automotive electronics sector also. Automotive energy efficiency is pursued by the automobile manufacturers. We help them by supplying low energy consuming equipment, which results in lesser energy consumption at production level.
EFY: What is your take on the Indian electronics scenario in 2012 and beyond?
Suresh Nair: The Indian electronics industry scenario in 2012 seems to be not-so-interesting owing to general slowdown in the market, domestic as well as global. Going forward, the electronics industry should be performing better as demand for electronics products in the market will continue to grow.
EFY: What, according to you, should be done to boost electronics manufacturing in India?
Suresh Nair: The Indian government has come out a draft national manufacturing policy for the Indian electronics industry. They should just go ahead and implement this policy as soon as possible.
All the more important, the Indian component manufacturing industry should be given a big push to make our domestic electronics industry even more competent.
EFY: Do you think that nanotech will emerge as a disruption in India?
Suresh Nair: In the current scenario and another few years down the line, I don't see nano technology making any big impact in India.
