Component Management

The digital transformation poses a variety of challenges to all industries. One of them is surely the pressure to leverage the potential of new technologies to enhance performance. At the same time, emerging technologies make new approaches possible: printed electronics are evolving traditional electronics.

In order to address heightening concerns about global electricity consumption, help enable greater energy autonomy and accelerate decarbonisation of the energy sector, Denchi Group has announced the commercial availability of SLICE, a versatile energy storage solution.

The VisionXP+ convection soldering system by Rehm Thermal Systems has provided the basis for good soldering results with its optimum heat transfer properties, even if the electronic components have different requirements with regard to your production process.

Printronix Auto ID has unveiled to Europe the successor to its popular T6000 printer series. The new T6000e device is affordable and engineered for multiple industrial applications where high volume, precision print quality and advanced features like RFID are essential. 

DELO has further developed its liquid materials, creating new possibilities for liquid additive manufacturing. The high-performance materials providing different functionalities, such as transparency or flexibility can be combined in one printing process, adhere reliably, and have isotropic strength in all printing directions.

LED-based lighting technology is being used for manifold and diverse applications, including illuminations outside. For outdoor signage, manufacturers may need to use potting or encapsulation materials to protect LEDs against water, moisture and other environmental factors.

The pressure to become more environmentally conscious and more sustainable in operational terms is a major consideration for modern manufacturers. Often, it forms a key element of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) model.  By Chris Snowdon, Head of Account Development, P2i

Having further developed its liquid materials, DELO has created new possibilities for liquid additive manufacturing. The high-performance materials providing different functionalities, such as transparency or flexibility can be combined in one printing process, adhere reliably, and have isotropic strength in all printing directions. They are particularly well suited for automotive and microelectronic applications.

Variety is the spice of life. But, as anyone who’s tried to throw a curry together without a recipe knows well, you can certainly have too much. When specifying electrical components, engineers are often presented with dizzying spreadsheets filled with technical datapoints, for hundreds of devices.

AW, part of the global Aisin Group, researches, develops, and manufactures automotive infotainment systems and electronically controlled automatic transmissions. The company serves major European and Asian carmakers that place extremely high requirements on every unit produced by their partners.
