Effective, low cost encapsulation process from WPS adds to environmental and intellectual protection services

Electronic systems are increasingly being asked to perform in the open air, exposed to all weather conditions. Products are also now expected to withstand a level of ‘rough-handling as systems become pervasive in every aspect of our daily life. Encapsulation provides a quick and inexpensive means of ‘ruggedising’ equipment for use in such conditions. More, encapsulation makes it harder for competitors to reverse-engineer a product design, offering a degree of protection against IP theft.

Comments Nick Jones, Sales Director at WPS: “We have developed a very flexible and cost-effective encapsulation process which offers our customers all the usual benefits of encapsulation, plus the ability to have a logo, company or product name included in the encapsulation housing without the need for costly moulds. It’s not rocket science, but it does illustrate one of the strengths of our company; we listen to our customers and try to find practical, affordable approaches which address their requirements without calling for radical redesigns.”
