Automation without perfection: How intelligent robots can handle HMLV manufacturing

July 21, 2026
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.

Europe's PCB comeback is colliding with a supply chain that isn't ready

July 13, 2026
Europe's printed circuit board industry is having a moment. Defence spending is up, AI is driving demand, and policymakers are finally talking about electronics as strategic infrastructure. But as I discovered in a recent EMS@C-Level conversation with Vytautas Ilgunas, Chief Commercial Officer at TLT PCB, and Raymond Goh, Chief Operating Officer at Confidee, the comeback is running headfirst into a supply chain that we spent the last two decades hollowing out. The demand is real. The capacity to serve it, particularly in materials, is not.
