    Enhancing PCB Assembly: Innovations for Quality and Automation
    Kim Engmark - Country Manager: Denmark - Nordes

    During the presentation, we will present innovative PCB assembly strategies, focusing on process optimization for improved productivity and product quality, using Nordes as an example. We will also present the benefits of selective soldering in contract electronics assembly based on a case study using our ERSA VERSAFLOW 4/55 machine for selective soldering. We will also discuss automation in contract electronics manufacturing, focusing on the use of robotics to increase productivity and precision. This will be illustrated by the introduction of new technologies by Nordes, including three new machines, which we buy and which will come to Nordes in April – we tell to the audience that we have them, which will be the truth (in this time). The presentation will also cover PCB complexity and component growth, ensuring quality through PCB depanelization analysis and X-ray inspection. We can also focus on the PCB washing process and its importance to product quality.

    What is JTAG and how can JTAG help me?
    Tommaso De Vivo - Vice President Business Development EMEA - NOHAU / XJTAG

    JTAG is typically used for 3 things: CPU debug, in-circuit programming and test. 

    About test, JTAG effectively turns the pins on enabled devices into virtual test probes that can all be electronically accessed through a single JTAG connection. These virtual probes give you direct control of the pins, so you do not need to understand the device’s internal functionality. 

    Therefore, JTAG can be used from prototype to manufacture and even across projects.

    This talk will introduce the technology and gives examples of how a dedicated boundary scan test software can unlock the full capability of JTAG, providing you with an easy to use method to test and program boards. 

    The presentation will be held in English.

    Unleashing potential: the future of cost-effective PCB manufacturing
    Hamza Bilgen - Sales and Business Development Manager - Bosch GmbH

    Join copperdot, a service by Bosch, for a keynote that delves into the complex world of printed circuit board (PCB) cost engineering. Our expert will speak about how the price of manufacturing a PCB is influenced by a myriad of factors, including the number of layers, complexity, materials, quantity, technology, production processes, and standards. Gain insights into the varying impact of these factors on overall costs and learn how to achieve the best price-performance ratio by carefully considering each element. Whether you're navigating demanding specifications or seeking simplicity in cost determination, this keynote will equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and optimize your PCB manufacturing projects.

    The presentation will be held in English.

    How do you manage your projects with demands on higher quality and less cost without losing track on the process?
    John Ludvigsen - Technical Sales Manager Polarion - InnoFour Scandinavia

    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 will cover the challenges in today’s embedded software development and how we can help organizations with a unified solution that divers project transparency through real-time aggregated management information. It enables everyone to be aligned around what is being built and why, to drive advancement while protecting integrity and compliance. This approach 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 and with those that are in the project so that everybody has a real-time view of the status of the project.

    Electronic Beam Steering for Joint Radar and Communication (RadCom) at 140 GHz
    Kristoffer Raskov - M.Sc.Eng. Electrical Engineering Student - Research project - Halmstad University
    Oliver Christiansson - M.Sc.Eng. Electrical Engineering Student - Research project - Halmstad University

    The automotive industry's increasing demands for advanced driver-assistant systems is currently causing a surge in the number of connected vehicles on the roads. To avoid network congestion and interference between the vehicles' radars, it is necessary to find new ways of utilizing the bandwidth more efficiently. RadCom, or joint radar and communication, aims at synchronizing nearby systems and increase the communication bandwidth significantly by using mmWave frequencies. Our master thesis has contributed to such a system by constructing the electronical steering of the system's antenna at 140 GHz, which previously has required advanced silicon technology due to the lack of comercially available phase shifters at these frequencies. However, by shifting the phase at approximately 12 GHz and multiplying the phase and frequency 12 times, our thesis demonstrates a simpler method that can be useful to researchers and engineers who wants to develop the technology further. The system has been tested in the EMC test chamber at Electronics Centre in Halmstad (ECH).
