Smart quality controls in PCB production

Printed circuit boards are the nervous system of all electronic devices. Whether for mobile devices or in the automotive, industrial and medical sectors. The areas of application are diverse, as is PCB production. Around 150 complex work steps are required for a single circuit board before it is ready for use.

AT&S enables customer visits via VR

The coronavirus pandemic reinforces trends that have been imminent for years and are now becoming reality due to the strict COVID-19 measures. AT&S has developed a concept for conducting virtual audits in which the customer or partner does not have to be physically present on site; rather they can visit the plant virtually thanks to technical tools such as VR glasses and video streaming. This innovation will also be used after the pandemic.

Devices become extremely reliable thanks to PCB tech

The trend for miniaturisation and digitalisation is shaping medical technology, too. Systems and components for treatment, diagnosis and patient monitoring are becoming ever smaller and more powerful. In medical technology, more than any other field, safety and reliability – despite progressive miniaturisation – are an absolute priority, since reliable functioning can be vitally important.

Cool designs for miniaturised high-power applications

Some major concerns for modern electronic applications include miniaturisation and increasing power densities. The lifetime of electronic applications can be dramatically reduced by the increase of the working temperatures by just a few degrees. Further, the insulation of the whole printed circuit board (PCB) from the environment in order to provide efficient protection against humidity and dust for certain applications turns heat dissipation an ...
