KIC's new dual temperature measurement technology option, which works with PS2G software and SPS smart thermometer, enables simultaneous use of up to 24 thermocouples. The option includes two 12-channel SPS thermometers and a newly designed heat shield. When in use, the two SPS are "paired" together in a 24-channel heat shield to operate as a single 24-channel thermometer. This value-added option provides the flexibility and adaptability required for customers who need to provide more sampling locations on certain products, but still need to use the thermometer on a smaller board with fewer sampling locations. When measuring larger products, such as server motherboards, more test sampling points are often required. The new dual temperature technology option provides this capability and greater flexibility to operate with other thermocouple location configurations, making it the best of both worlds. Dual temperature measurement technology options (24 channels) and related hardware are available in a variety of different kits and options for great flexibility. You can choose the kit available when ordering a new SPS smart thermometer, or add options to use with your existing 12-channel SPS smart thermometer.   Actionable Data with Smart Software The SPS Smart Profiler works with KIC’s award winning Profiling Software 2G, Navigator Power and Auto-Focus Power optimization software and is integrated as a programming tool for KIC’s industry leading automatic profiling systems. All your critical profile and process data are measured including slope, peak temperature, time above liquidous, and more. In addition the software measures the Process Window Index™ (PWI) automatically and objectively identifying the profile’s ‘fit’ to the established process window. The PWI is lower as your process is centered within the process window. Therefore, the lower your PWI, the more stable and precise your process. The Navigator Power™software feature automates process improvement and optimization for you and ships standard with the SPS Smart Thermal Profiler™. Within seconds, the Navigator will identify the single best oven set up. The SPS Smart Profiler raises the bar for Smart Factory systems, and is another of the many smart devices and systems KIC offers to improve your production quality, productivity, and documentation.

On the 27th local time, Rajiv Chandrasekhar, Minister of State of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India, announced on the social platform "X" that Tat Group of India took over the Indian business of Wistron, an important supplier of iphones, and Tat will start producing Apple phones for the domestic and global markets in two and a half years. The group will also become India's first local iPhone maker. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary Production-linked Incentive (PLI) program has propelled India to become a major hub for trusted smartphone manufacturing and exports," Chandrasekhar said. Earlier in the day, Wistron announced that its board of directors had approved the sale of its plant in Karnataka, India, to Tat for a tentative transaction price of $125 million. The transaction will seek regulatory approval after the parties have confirmed and signed the relevant agreements. Public information shows that Wistron's factory is located 50 kilometers east of Bangalore, the "Silicon Valley of India", the capital of Karnataka, with an area of more than 200,000 square meters. The factory has eight iPhone production lines, tens of thousands of employees, including thousands of engineers, and is an important part of Apple's global industrial chain. Wistron was also the first company to manufacture iphones in India and has been operating in the country for more than 15 years, producing models such as the iPhone SE for Apple Inc. As for the reason for Wistron's withdrawal from India, the United States Quartz network previously reported that Wistron had encountered many controversial treatments in India. On December 12, 2020, Wistron's Indian factory was smashed. In 2020, its Bengaluru factory suffered a mass protest by workers. The Indian government subsequently removed Wistron from the list of approved producers, and Wistron was forced to change its labor policies. Wistron has also been targeted by Indian authorities over environmental concerns. India's Karnataka state Pollution Control Board hit the company in 2019 for violating environmental laws by dumping untreated waste that polluted local groundwater. In addition, the landing of Apple's industrial chain also needs to consider complex factors.​​

Google senior management has announced a "red directive" that requires all of Google's major products, including those with more than 1 billion users, to integrate generative artificial intelligence technology in the coming months. Artificial intelligence was originally Google's advantage, but with the emergence of OpenAI's ChatGPT, it caused a lot of anxiety within Google. Now Google issued this directive is trying to catch up with ChatGPT, to transform the company and stay competitive, for example, Google announced in March that YouTube video platform creators will soon be able to use AI technology to virtual costume change. In the long run, it may not matter that OpenAI has stolen the limelight in recent months, because Google has a very deep accumulation in this area. The company has been using machine learning to drive its advertising business, while also incorporating AI into key consumer products like Gmail and Google Photos. But many also worry that generative AI has some risks, making Google reluctant to rush these technologies to market. For example, in the search market, chatbots seem to be able to provide an answer from a developer, which is inherently riskier than replying to a link to another website.
