Motorcycle rider posture plays a critical role in safety, stability, and interaction with advanced vehicle systems, yet it remains difficult to measure accurately in both real-world and simulated environments; this work presents a combined approach to posture estimation that integrates wearable multi-IMU sensing with camera-based remote sensing to capture and analyze rider kinematics across real rides and simulator scenarios. The approach leverages distributed IMUs embedded in rider equipment (e.g., jacket, helmet, and body segments) to estimate joint angles, body lean, and motion dynamics through sensor fusion, while video-based or vision-based systems provide ground truth and complementary observations for validation and robustness assessment. By comparing IMU-based and vision-based pipelines in terms of accuracy, latency, and resilience to noise and environmental constraints, the work highlights trade-offs between wearable and infrastructure-based sensing solutions, and demonstrates how hybrid sensing architectures can improve reliability. The resulting datasets, algorithms, and validation frameworks contribute toward more realistic human-in-the-loop modeling in simulation, improved rider monitoring, and future safety systems capable of detecting risky behavior, fatigue, or loss of control in real time.

Obsolescence management is a growing challenge in the semiconductor industry, driven by accelerated lifecycles and aging mechanisms like corrosion and material degradation. This presentation explores the root causes of obsolescence, highlighting the importance of understanding these aging effects for long-term storage. Key factors include optimal environmental conditions, quality assurance, and lifecycle monitoring to preserve component integrity. By implementing targeted storage strategies, manufacturers can mitigate obsolescence risks, reduce disruptions, and extend component lifespan, ensuring reliability and regulatory compliance in long-life markets such as aerospace, defense, and medical applications.

The electronics industry is facing a structural shift where circularity, resource efficiency and supply chain resilience are becoming decisive competitive factors. How can Swedish electronics companies reduce their dependence on critical raw materials, strengthen their resilience and unlock new business opportunities in the process?

During Evertiq Expo, Svensk Elektronik will present the latest results from ReLoop Electronics and a status quo analysis currently mapping the current state, challenges and opportunities for a more circular Swedish electronics industry. The presentation also covers the project's next steps – the development of a practical roadmap, concrete tools and a handbook to help companies translate circular strategies into action.

The session explores how reuse, remanufacturing, recycling, circular design and new business models can contribute to greater resilience, stronger value chains, reduced climate impact and improved competitiveness – at a time of geopolitical uncertainty and rising sustainability demands.

ReLoop Electronics is funded through Impact Innovation – Net Zero Industry, a joint initiative by the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas and Vinnova.

In this presentation, Rochester Electronics, debunks the myths surrounding date codes.

Historically, it was believed components were no longer usable due to metrics like “two-year date code”. However, date codes are no longer a reliable indicator of component quality and may prevent the use of perfectly viable components. Presentation will explore why purchasers no longer need to fear component ‘expiration dates’. They can feel confident that properly stored components will not only be reliable in the field, but of high quality well past their date code. 

How is the semiconductor market doing right now? Where is demand picking up, which segments are showing the clearest movement – and what signals point to what comes next?

In this live conversation, Evertiq's Dennis Dahlgren takes the pulse of the semiconductor market together with Sebastian Blom, Sales Manager at Rotakorn Electronics AB. Drawing on the daily flow of market information, the two discuss where things stand right now, shifting purchasing patterns, market movements, and the trends expected to shape the electronics industry in the near term.

A conversation for anyone who wants an up-to-date read on the semiconductor market – beyond the headlines, and with an eye on what's coming.

The miniaturization of highly integrated flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) is a critical advancement in modern electronics, driven by the demand for smaller, more efficient devices. This talk explores the use of a semi-additive process (SAP) to achieve fine structures with line and space dimensions as small as 15 µm. The SAP technique offers significant advantages in artwork precision, making it ideal for high-density applications. SAP technology enables smallest line/space structures, and therefore a small pitch not possible with conventional subtractive technology. Miniaturization through additive processes imposes new requirements on existing quality inspections and equipment technology.

Dyconex discusses challenges und developments to support the continued miniaturization of PCB substrates, ensuring both high performance and reliability in future electronic devices.

Protecting Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists, remains a critical challenge in cooperative intelligent transport systems, requiring both accurate positioning and reliable communication; this presentation combines recent research on ultra-wideband (UWB), ETSI ITS messaging (CAM/VAM), and uncertainty-aware simulation to explore integrated solutions for VRU safety. UWB enables high-precision ranging and low-latency communication, supporting both sensing and data exchange, while also complementing existing V2X technologies; however, positioning uncertainty due to GNSS errors, multipath, and communication imperfections can significantly degrade safety performance, leading to missed or false alerts in cooperative applications.

 We present a combined methodology based on analytical modeling, OMNeT++/SUMO/Artery simulation, and experimental prototyping to evaluate hybrid architectures that fuse UWB ranging, V2X messaging, and network-based mitigation techniques such as angle- and time-based positioning. Finally, ongoing work on integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), including wearable VRU devices and infrastructure-assisted approaches, is discussed, aiming to enable scalable, privacy-preserving, and robust safety systems for real-world urban environments.

Embedded software is in virtually all the products we come in contact with every day. For example, there are 100+ million lines of code in automotive, 24% of Medical device recalls are due to software issues, and there's 15.4% growth in the software driven "Smart Appliance" market.

As a result the use of embedded software is quickly infringing on hardware’s dominance in the product development process. However in many environments software development is a siloed activity that leads to disconnects between product requirements and implementation that leads to product recalls or product failures. In legacy software development environments, many different point solutions are used to manage the application lifecycle. As a result, development artifacts are  scattered, slowing down collaboration, hindering transparency, undermining integrity and making it difficult to drive innovation.

This presentation of Polarion Application Lifecycle Management will cover the challenges in today’s embedded software development and how Polarion can help organizations with a unified solution that divers project transparency through real-time aggregated management information. Polarion enables everyone to be aligned around what is being built and why, to drive advancement while protecting integrity and compliance. Polarion helps teams respond faster and with better quality to new business opportunities and customer demands. The presentation will also show how it’s possible to work with different stakeholders like clients and managers together with projectmembers so that everybody has a real-time view of the status of the project.

Who actually owns the Swedish EMS market? This presentation is built on a database constructed from scratch – more than 750 companies reviewed one by one, 77 qualified. 

The result is a mapping of Sweden's 20 largest EMS providers, and their factories, based on 2024 revenues, with original analysis of market concentration, geographic distribution, and the consolidation reshaping the industry in real time. Spoiler: ten factories account for more than half the market.
