Electronics reliability for demanding applications September 29, 2026 In modern electronics, reliability is no longer solely a characteristic of an individual component. In defense systems, automation, robotics and transportation, the success of a project depends on an entire chain of interdependencies: from accurately defining operating conditions, through the selection of materials and technologies, to component availability, manufacturing capabilities and product lifecycle management.

Evertiq Expo Kraków 2026: from design decisions to market tensions May 04, 2026 What happens at the design stage is increasingly resolved later – in production and on the market. Decisions related to system architecture, material selection or operating parameters often return in the form of integration challenges, manufacturing constraints or supply chain risks. In electronics for demanding applications, these dependencies are particularly visible. Design, system performance and market conditions form a connected system in which changes in one area affect the others.
From rigidity to agility: modular robotics gains ground in EMS manufacturing April 14, 2026 Electronics manufacturers operating in high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) environments need more flexible automation to remain competitive, according to Piotr Owczarek of Fideltronik, Fitech and AIRob. Speaking at the Evertiq Expo Tampere 2026, he outlined how modular robotics and AI-driven systems can address the limitations of traditional automation.
"Artificial intelligence will support us, not replace us" March 10, 2026 High-mix, low-volume production has long been one of the most complex operational environments in the EMS industry. Short production runs, high product variability, frequent changeovers and constant time pressure mean that factories operate in a state of near-constant adaptation. At the same time, customer expectations for quality and flexibility continue to rise, while the availability of skilled labour remains limited. In such conditions, manufacturing ceases to be a collection of independent processes — it becomes a system in which every change carries wider operational consequences.
