Automation without perfection: How intelligent robots can handle HMLV manufacturing
Traditional automation performs best in a highly organised environment. Products must always arrive in the same position, production lines need to maintain a fixed rhythm, and individual tasks should remain predictable and repetitive. However, the European electronics industry is increasingly operating under completely different conditions. Short production runs, frequent product changes, component shortages and unpredictable order schedules can make a factory resemble a living organism rather than a precisely calibrated machine. Speaking at Evertiq Expo Kraków 2026, Piotr Owczarek, CEO of AiRob, argued that machine vision, 3D modelling and artificial intelligence could make robots better suited to this complex environment.

Electronic components market: A crisis gathering momentum
Artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions, rising raw material prices, and increasingly longer delivery times create a combination of factors that could make life much more difficult for electronics manufacturers.
Why does signal integrity determine the effectiveness of defence systems?
The effectiveness of modern defence systems is no longer defined solely by the number of tanks, aircraft, missile launchers, or soldiers. Increasingly, real military capability depends on the reliability of the electronics responsible for maintaining communications, surveillance, data processing, and weapons control.

Raytac Bluetooth Low Energy modules in TME's offer
Contemporary communication has been dominated by wireless systems. Electronics increasingly rely on data exchange without the use of cables. This applies to household appliances, as well as industrial, medical automation, and Internet of Things solutions. One of the most commonly used short-range communication standards is Bluetooth, particularly its energy-efficient variant, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which allows for the construction of compact battery-powered devices.
The European duo driving a greener electronics industry
Stephan Theil, CEO of the German company Factronix, presented technologies and processes at Evertiq Expo Warsaw 2025 that can drastically reduce electronics manufacturing costs, carbon footprint and dependence on unstable supply chains.

What an EMS Laboratory Actually Finds When Electronics Fail
Most field failures that reach our laboratory are not exotic. They are the same handful of mechanisms, year after year. What varies is where they were introduced — and in the majority of cases we investigate, the durable fix turns out to be a design change rather than a process adjustment.
