Mastering PCB NPI: navigating the digital era of electronics assembly
The high-mix, low-volume challenge: Transform your NPI with a digital twin
For years, electronics PCB assembly New Product Introduction (NPI) has continuously evolved.
However, the relentless shift towards high-mix, low-volume production – the Industry 4.0 ideal of a 'lot size of one' – is now pushing traditional NPI processes to their breaking point. Relying on extensive manual intervention and numerous personnel to minimize changeover times simply isn't sustainable in today's fast-paced environment.
This e-book reveals how to transform your NPI with a truly digital approach. Discover the power of an easily transferable digital twin of your product design, fostering unprecedented collaboration and transparency across your operations. This new NPI paradigm optimizes the flow of data, solutions, and human expertise, ensuring your processes scale effortlessly as lot sizes shrink and product mixes diversify.
Beyond just pick-and-place, we provide a comprehensive review of the entire electronics assembly line: from stencil and paste inspection to optical inspection, electrical testing (including in-circuit and flying probe), and beyond. You'll also learn how these cutting-edge solutions can be leveraged to significantly fortify your supply chain.
