“Dry Fog” is formed out of ultrafine water droplets, each measuring 10 μm or less in diameter, generated by specialized spray nozzles. This fog rapidly evaporates into the air without wetting the objects it touches.
In the realm of surface-mount technology (SMT) processes, effective humidity control is crucial to combat electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues and challenges arising from static electricity and dry air. IKEUCHI's Dry Fog Humidification System emerges as a groundbreaking solution, delivering seven key benefits.
1. ESD Damage Prevention
As electronic components shrink, susceptibility to electrostatic discharge increases. The Dry Fog system ensures a uniform humidity level, preventing the risk of ESD damage.
2. Reduced Pick-and-Place Errors
Maintaining optimal humidity levels minimizes errors in the pick-and-place process caused by components sticking to or popping out from the tape due to static charge, boosting productivity.
3. Consistent Solder Print Quality
Humidity control during solder printing prevents issues like rapid drying or excessive moisture absorption, ensuring consistent solder print quality and product reliability.
4. Airborne Particle Reduction
Humidification curbs airborne particles, reducing defects caused by particle adherence. The Dry Fog system significantly decreases airborne particles with increased humidity.
5. Significant Operating Cost Reduction
Compared to conventional steam humidification, the Dry Fog system slashes operating costs by 68%, resulting in $50,000/year savings and a 70% CO2 emissions reduction.
6. Cooling Cost Reduction
Evaporative cooling of the Dry Fog lowers ambient temperatures, yielding an $18,000/year saving in cooling expenses at an SMT facility.
7. Healthier Work Environment
Beyond manufacturing, the Dry Fog system reduces sick leave by maintaining a relative humidity of 50% or above, leading to fewer sick days during winter.
In conclusion, IKEUCHI's Dry Fog Humidification System is a comprehensive solution addressing crucial aspects of SMT processes, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and fostering a healthier workplace. This technology offers a transformative approach to humidity control in electronics manufacturing.

Signaloid Announces Availability of Amazon AWS Machine Image (AMI) for Accelerating Compute Workloads Ranging from Finance to Reinforcement Learning16.6.2026 06:00:00 CEST | Press release
British computing technology company Signaloid today announced the release of the Signaloid Compute Engine Amazon Machine Image (AMI) via AWS Marketplace. The release enables organizations to deploy Signaloid’s distribution-extended compute hardware (UxHw®) technology within their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). The AMI provides access to UxHw, which delivers orders-of-magnitude performance improvements on x86_64 and ARM (AArch64) AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Without requiring software rewrites, UxHw enables existing applications to compute directly on probability distributions, automating algorithms such as Monte Carlo methods in finance and physics, importance sampling in reinforcement learning, and particle filters in physical AI and robotics. The technology works through binary translation and optimization at the LLVM intermediate representation (LLVM IR) level, with optional hardware acceleration via FPGAs and Signaloid’s C0-ASIC that was recently taped-out in
