- 09:35 - 10:05How to select and design the right embedded antennaEdoardo Genovese - Technical Development Manager RF Europe - TTI Europe
When antennas are embedded on the PCB inside the device, performance depends on several factors: GND plane size, position on the PCB, metal objects in the vicinity of the antenna, and many others.
Several embedded antennas technologies are available, and while no one will work in all cases, selecting the right antenna type and placing it correctly on the board could massively increase its radiation efficiency and therefore improve wireless range and decrease battery consumption for a better user experience.
- 10:10 - 10:40How to increase PCB depaneling efficiency with Laser TechnologyJavier Gonzalez - Sales Manager - InnoLas Solutions GmbHLaser depaneling is becoming more widely used since the demand for excellent cutting quality and increasing cost pressure require one to reevaluate the use of traditional production methods. For example, laser depaneling provides the highest technical cleanliness that improves the durability of electronics, increase yield and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, laser technology provides a new path to increase panel efficiency and therefore reduce material waste and costs.
- 10:45 - 11:15PFAS restrictions in the EU and USJuhana Jaatinen - Lic. Sc. (Tech.), CEO - RoHS Management Oy
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of synthetic chemicals that are widely used in consumer products, flame retardants, and electronics. The becoming PFAS restrictions in the EU and US present a challenge to manufacturers who seek to be proactive in addressing upcoming restrictions. This presentation shows how to manage PFAS using GreenSoft data management services and Windchill PLM.
Jaatinen has worked 30 years in the electronics industry. He has a very practical approach to legislation: what does it mean, why should I care, and what I should do.
