After the first successful edition, the Seica Seminar took place again in Israel on 20th February 2018. Our local representative Spider Engineering was able to perfectly arrange an amazing event in the beautiful location of the Daniel Hotel in Herzliya with over 130 people attending.
The participants, a real technological elite, were representing a large number of defense institutions, government corporation and private companies showing once more the complexity and the extremely high value of Israeli market in the electronics environment.
The importance of this Seminar was also highlighted by the presence of Seica President Antonio Grassino who gave an highly appreciated lecture about his vision of the future of ICT.
An interesting introduction regarding electronics in combat was given by Spider Engineering CTO Joseph Makmel, while the prime time of the event was dedicated to a proper and thorough lesson about functional testing held by Seica Senior Application Engineer Andrea Romano. In the morning Alessandro Beiletti from International Sales presented the new Next >Series range of solutions, focusing especially on Compact Digital (Legacy replacement application), Firefly Next (Laser selective soldering) and Dragonfly Next (new AOI platform).
The most effective moments of the Seminar 2018 were, with no doubt, the presentations made by 4 Pilot V8 users – Digitron, USR, IAI and Elbit – explaining in detail the capabilities and advantages of Seica Flying Probe solutions, based of their daily experience.
Jim Wareham, Seica USA Sales Manager, closed the meeting with a very interesting overview concerning the activity of American subsidiaries, supporting the idea of Seica strong and global organization.
The Seminar was not only focused on presentations and lectures, but was a great opportunity for Seica and Spider Engineering people to improve the network of business relationships, to discuss several specific topics and exchange important information with existing and potential customers, in order to keep leading the way in Israel. Let’s now wait for the third edition. The date is already set for 2020!
