Instrumentation technology and computing applications play an important role in the design and manufacture of many industrial electronics products.

Trends in industrial electronics manufacturing

There are several trends in industrial electronics manufacturing that are currently shaping the industry:

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important, as more and more industrial devices are connected to the internet and can be controlled and monitored remotely.
  • Industry 4.0 is also gaining momentum, with more companies implementing advanced automation, data analytics, and machine learning techniques to increase efficiency and productivity.
  • Miniaturization of electronic components and devices is becoming more prevalent, as companies look for ways to reduce costs and increase the functionality of their products.
  • Use of flexible and printed electronics, like printed circuit boards, flexible displays, and flexible sensors, is expanding in industrial electronic products to make them more durable, less expensive and more versatile.
  • Adoption of cloud-based solutions is increasing, as more companies are looking to store and process data in the cloud, rather than on-premises.
  • The use of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is becoming more popular in industrial electronics, as it allows for rapid prototyping and the creation of complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods.
  • Cybersecurity is becoming a major concern for industrial electronics manufacturers, as more companies are looking to protect their networks and devices from cyber attacks.
  • The trend of green electronics is also growing, as manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of their products and comply with stricter environmental regulations.

Some systems platforms this market incorporates into its products it produces include intelligent control systems such as digital logic and automated applications for use in robotics.

The shift toward industrial connected Internet of Things (IoT) is driving manufacturers toward digitalization and process flexibility in production and smart factories vs traditional wired technologies is providing higher performance and better reliability requirements for automation. However, the industrial connected devices market is also driving demand for cabling and wire harnesses for equipment such as control boxes.

Enter the dawn of ‘lights out manufacturing‘. Meanwhile, these changes are surfacing short-comings in many wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, especially in bandwidth and security.

Solving these challenges is enabling collaborative IoT wearables and robotics able to improve assembly processes while robotics frameworks big data allows for analytics feedback to synchronize and improve efficiency of the automated process. (Read how AI helps contract electronics providers)

 

Some contract electronics manufacturers are approaching their challenges with internal manufacturing execution systems, often with unsatisfactory results. This is primarily due to contract electronics industry risk aversion and limited, deep IT, machine learning, and AI understanding. (Read this Venture Outsource case study: How to compare Flex, Jabil, Sanmina, Celestica manufacturing supply chain capabilities)

Meanwhile, data lakes and condition-based monitoring; coupled with machine learning and artificial intelligence, performance forecasts and maintenance schedule optimization to reduce SMT/PCBA line down-time in electronics production – smart factories can further better target manufacturing production should costs and help optimize total landed cost for electronics industrial and robotics product programs.

Robots and robotics have been around for decades, but it has only been recently that their adoption has picked up at a rapid pace. The first industrial robot was introduced in the United States in 1961. Except for the past several years, their usage has primarily limited to the manufacturing sector. Technological improvements however are changing this quickly and technology adoption is the single most important driver of growing robotics adoption.

Designing industrial electronics

In designing and creating ‘capable’ industrial electronics and electronics systems, services providers employ engineers with experience working with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), digital signal processing (DSP), systems architecture and design, and knowledge of microprocessors and micro-controller systems and applications to provide customers the product and functionality they require.

Challenges facing high tech manufacturing

Semiconductors drive the electronics industry. Achieving smaller chipset footprints with increasing functionality is an ongoing challenge. Currently, semiconductor industry uses immersion lithography for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs). Many argue extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is a better solution, offered benefits in semiconductor manufacturing but its been a difficult learning curve for high volume chip manufacturing/scaling, for various reasons.

Russian Soviet economist, Nikolai Dmitriyevich Kondratiev, also known as Kondratieff, was a proponent of business cycle theory known as Kondratiev waves, below.

Kondratiev’s theory is that Western capitalist economies have long term 50-60-year cycles of boom followed by depression. Below, nanotechnology, micro machines, mass customization, machine learning, to name few. Given the United States as the world’s chief consumer, manufacturers everywhere have given Kondratiev’s theory more attention.

The fast-advancing capabilities in technology are already playing out as we see manufacturing factories automating large portions of the manufacturing cycle – and our lives – requiring more sophisticated ICs.
