Theyalso provide training for their employees if it is needed.The company RAFI produces electromechanical components for data entry anddisplay. Pushbuttons, control units, signal lamps, short-travel and full-travel keyswitches, key switches for PCB mounting, complete control systems with electronicsand interfaces: with our systems we place great emphasis on safe data input andconvenient operation.A wide range of technologies and designs allows fast implementation of individualsolutions, EMS - Customer designed electronic assemblies and components With 15SMT lines, the RAFI EMS Group is one of Germany's ten leading electronicsmanufacturers.

Agenda8:30 – 9.00 Arriving at Rafi, short introduction into the company.9:00 -10:00 Overview of Environmental procedures – student interaction.10.00 – 10:15 Questions and answers.10:00-11:20 Tour around the factory – highlighting environmental aspects.11:20 – 12:00 Lunch prepared by company.MonitoringRAFI EnergyRAFI is a company that produces electronic circuit boards. They monitor the usageof their energy by a controlled real-time monitor. This real-time monitor means thatit’s constantly monitoring the usage of electric. They also monitor their usage ofwater, and waste. They try to lower the usage of energy per year by having futureprojects. They have energy efficient lighting situated all around the factory.RAFI has a SMT Reflow oven, it’s an oven which heats up solder paste which thensolders all the components to a circuit board. It is very expensive to run. Although itis expensive to run it has got a pneumatic pump that reduces the energy being usedaround the factory, this is down to its own pneumatic source. The pneumatic sourceis done by turning 500 litres to 20 litres of compressed air per minute. So eventhough it uses a lot of electricity to run and produce components it saves energy bythe compressed air which gets used around the factory. This means that less pipesare put in place around the factory, less pipes used meaning not as much loss inheat and air.SMT Reflow oven23
