2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not because offline depaneling has disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, many successful factories still rely on offline systems every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real question is different:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which solution creates the best balance between productivity, flexibility, quality, and long-term operating costs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer depends on your production environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A factory producing millions of identical automotive PCBs may need a completely different approach from an EMS provider handling dozens of product changes every
