From The Million-Dollar Investment In Technology, Smart Should Produce 7 Million Units Of Its Products At The New Plant

The developer and manufacturer of semiconductor components and electronic memory, data storage, and communication devices Smart Modular Technologies inaugurated its new industrial plant with a million-dollar investment in technology on March 22, in the Free Trade Zone of Manaus, for the production of DRAM memory modules, SSDs (Solid State Drives), and connectivity modules for the Internet of Things.

With investments exceeding R$ 150 million in the first three years, the technology company has been expanding its production capacity, varying its portfolio of cutting-edge solutions and also aims for export while continuously meeting the growing demand of the domestic market. With the new venture, Smart expects to generate 160 local job openings in the technology sector.

Company Plans

Furthermore, according to G&A Comunicação, the technology company intends to manufacture up to 5 million DRAM memory modules, one and a half million SSDs, and 500 thousand connectivity modules, totaling 7 million units in the first year of operation, which will be combined with up to 20 million memory integrated circuits that will be tested and marked at the new factory, increasing Smart’s testing capacity for semiconductor components. Additionally, essential investments will be made for research and development of new technologies over the years through strategic partnerships with public and private R&D institutes in the region.

Pioneering in Brazil

Smart is a leader in the national market for semiconductor components – a product that faced a severe crisis – and assembled modules, having accumulated investments in Brazil that exceed R$ 1.5 billion in productive infrastructure, machinery, and technology equipment, in addition to another R$ 600 million already invested in studies. In this sense, in 2017 the company was responsible for inaugurating Brazil’s pioneering laboratory for prototyping and testing semiconductor components, in partnership with the Eldorado Institute, which is based in Campinas (São Paulo), the only one in the southern hemisphere. The Smart unit in Atibaia, also in São Paulo, employs more than 550 highly qualified professionals and has the potential to encapsulate over 150 million integrated circuits per year and manufactures components with stacking of up to 11 chips, equating in technology to the most innovative and advanced available worldwide.

Flávio Yoshida, Vice President of Operations at Smart and responsible for the Manaus unit, concludes: “We are very happy to inaugurate our new factory and expand our business in Brazil, even in such a challenging scenario. We know the potential of the country in the technological field, and the investments we make here reinforce our belief in the local market.”

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

From assisting a bricklayer in 6 months with alignment, level, plumb, and square, see the step-by-step guide to laying blocks, correcting with a mallet, and delivering work with excellence always.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Under unbearable heat of 1,600°F and pressure of 6,000 tons, steel blocks are transformed into giant chains that hold ships weighing 240,000 tons and cost $7,500 for a single section.

Criciúma wants to raise the railway tracks to a height of seven meters, spend R$ 260 million, and create a new city underneath the elevated structure.

Scientists find pen ink in Martian meteorites and expose a flaw in NASA’s sample preparation, warning that invisible contaminations can confuse analyses and require urgent unified protocols.
