We had the privilege of hosting some of our key Australian and New Zealand customers at our very first #ChipFest event in October. It was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and explore the future of technology-enabled care (TEC).
Guests were taken on a tour through our production facilities, including our two surface Mount technology (SMT) lines to see individual components being placed on a printed circuit board (PCBS). In photos you will see us all wearing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) jackets, one preventative measure we employ that is designed to prevent static electricity buildup discharging onto sensitive electronics reducing the chance of electrostatic damage. Guests also had the oppoertunity to see first-hand how the products thet purchase from Chiptech are assembled and quality tested at multiple stages throughout the manufacturing process.
The tour included time talking with our software and engineering team about current and future projects. Visiting operations, and servicing, to gain insight into how every department, from design and engineering to production, works together to deliver Technology Enabled Care (TEC) solutions that make a difference.
Of course, it wasn’t all business! Our #ChipFest25 golf day brought out some impressive (and entertaining!) golf skills, providing the perfect chance to relax at Clearwater Golf Club, have fun, and connect on a more personal level.
We played under Ambrose rules, where everyone plays from their team’s best shot. It was a fun and engaging way to experience golf, blending strategy, collaboration, and friendly competition.
The Ambrose format echoes how we work with our customers, partnering closely, planning strategically, and always driving forward from the strongest position.
It was a great way to reflect our commitment to collaboration and shared goals.
Shared Words, Shared Wins
We also spent a day sharing insightful presentations from our internal teams and our key suppliers Arrow Electronics and Active Components.
We unveiled new prototypes, software updates, and emerging technologies that are shaping the next generation of TEC. Guests had the chance to explore these innovations and give us feedback on designs and direction.
Jeremy, one of our R&D engineers, presented the how we improved our falls algorithm which we showcased in our August newsletter , presenting the thinking behind our technology and how our research is supporting safer communities.
Interactive customer surveys and open table sessions sparked great discussion and provided us with invaluable feedback that will help shape our roadmap and guide future product improvements.
It was a great celebration of what we can achieve together. Whether it’s building safer communities, developing smarter solutions, or simply sharing a laugh on the golf course, we’re stronger when we work side by side.
A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip and joined us for #ChipFest25. We hope you took away some meaningful insights into the people and passion behind Chiptech.
