EPP Europe P2.2023

» EDITORIAL
Dear readers,
Waste not, want not…
The news that German chipmaker Infineon is heading a European research
project focusing on reducing e-waste (page 10) will come as no surprise
to an industry in which efficiency has long been king. Our cover feature
(page 16) reveals how inspection-based process control tools could save
you both time and resources. And can Marie Kondo-ing your benchtop
reduce the number of boards landing on the scrap pile? Find out more on
page 44.
THE ONE.
FOR
EVERYONE.

Labour-saving digitalization?
We typically view automation solutions as digital replacements for human
operators, but could increased digitalization actually help companies
attract more talented personnel (page 30)? If robotics is more your thing,
don’t overlook the advantages of no-code and low-code software
solutions (page 48).
The future of electronics production
“The next paradigm shift will be in the area of software. And artificial
intelligence will be the driver,” says Andreas Tuerk in the article on page
52. The organizers of this year’s Productronica event agree (page 14). AI,
automation, and the growing significance of power electronics will be
front and centre in Munich in November.
