Enter flexible production! The assembly line was introduced in the early 1900s. It skyrocketed the productivity of workers\, for the first time allowing efficient mass production of standard products. The line timed and coordinated the actual production\, dividing the work into standard repetitive actions that required little explanation. But lately\, products have become smarter\, with customized and client-specific features. They no longer fit traditional mass production on a classical assembly line. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we need today are flexible factories\, factories where unique products can be assembled at a cost comparable to mass production. We are seeing the introduction of flexible\, digital factories\, where the status of each product is known at any time\, together with its next production steps. In such a factory\, the production configuration can be modified at any time and depending on product specifications. This flexibility is enabled through e.g. mobile robots and autonomous transport lines. For each product\, the optimal mix is determined between accurate and efficient automation and human intelligence and flexibility.In this seminar we will explore this flexible factory of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\n16h00: Welcome coffee16h30: Welcome (Marc Engels\, Chairman of the programme – COO Flanders Make)16h45: F3A -Free Float Flawless Assembly\, assembly of large components under flow conditions (Christoph Storm\, Research Assistant\, WZL RWTH – Aachen)17h15: Driving the Digital Enterprise (Bart Demaegdt\, Technology Manager Digitalization Siemens)17h45: Smart operators in a smart factory (Peter Verstraeten\, CEO Proceedix)18h15: Coffee break18h45: Combining strengths of humans and robots for better manufacturing (Bram Vanderborght\, Prof. Robotics & Multibody Mechanics research group VUB and member BruBotics)19h15: The Flexible Factory at Atlas Copco (Filip Vandenberghe\, Former President of the Airtec Division and Managing Director of Atlas Copco India)19h35: Q&A20h00: Networking with drinks and snacks \n\n\n\nParticipation fee:  \n\n\n\n\n135 euro (excl.

Future electronics are also expected to have a higher level of product integration with the boundaries between electronics and the remaining of the product less clearly defined. Electronics in textiles are a typical example of such integrated electronic devices. An intense collaboration between textile and electronic manufacturers is needed to develop new products with additional functionality and which remain manufacturable and reliable. During this workshop\, Televic and Sioen\, being an electronics oriented and a textile company and covering the two involved industrial areas\, will share their insights and steps into this market of “smart textiles”. Furthermore\, some practical examples and requirements for successful integration of electronics in textiles will be given by Centexbel and Imec\, which are both active in the research field of this new technology. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00The CareWare project: different industries working together on smart textilesPieter Crombez – TelevicSmart WearablesVera De Glas – SioenIntegration of electronincs on textiles by means of coating\, lamination\, adhesives or embeddingBrecht Demedts – CentexbelElectrical interconnections for electronics and textilesRiet Labie – imec16h30Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 26\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 333.12 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The CareWare Project: Different Industries Working Together on Smart Textiles\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.06 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Smart Wearables\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.64 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Integration of Electronincs on Textiles by Means of Coating\, Lamination\, Adhesives or Embedding\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3.10 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Electrical Interconnections for Electronics and Textiles\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.19 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

In this approach mainly the “technical management” processes are well known and common practice (project planning\, risk management\, configuration management\, …). However\, some other\, often neglected aspects (thorough requirements definition\, verification\, information management\, …) are also indispensable to control budget\, timing and quality.This webinar outlines what systems engineering is and which specific aspects deserve attention.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Systems Engineering\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 5.97 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Systems Engineering – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 28.90 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Veel productie is vetrokken naar Azië en later naar Oost-Europa. Maar dit was zeker niet altijd succesvol. Reshoring is een nieuwe trend. Maar de vraag van OEM’ers is wel veranderd. Om te kunnen voldoen aan kleine series en snelle levertijden moeten EMS’ers veranderen in een ‘smart factory’. De sprekers geven hun kijk op de toekomst en laten door middel van praktische presentaties zien hoe zij zich voorbereiden op de toekomst. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEDM bijdrage: Donderdag 1 juni \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Competitief Elektronica Ontwerp en Assemblage dicht bij de klant\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nNa een periode van outsourcing van de elektronica assemblage naar het verre Oosten\, zien we meer en meer bedrijven de strategische beslissing nemen om productie dichter bij de (Westerse) klant te brengen. Geert Willems geeft zijn kijk op de redenen voor deze “re- of near-shoring”\, en hoe de kennis van alle processen en methodologieën\, vanaf het ontwerp tot bij de klant\, een belangrijke bijdrage levert tot het succes van deze bedrijven. De rol van Design-for-eXcellence\, modelering\, simulatie en virtuele prototyping wordt toegelicht aan de hand van enkele praktische voorbeelden. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocatie: Jaarbeurs Utrecht\, Jaarbeursplein\, 3521 AL Utrecht URL:https://edmforum.eu/event/electronics-applications-beurs-2017-toekomst-van-elektronicaproductie-in-de-benelux/ CATEGORIES:Events with EDM contribution END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20170407T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20170407T170000 DTSTAMP:20260709T164553 CREATED:20231212T223741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240726T114033Z UID:1806-1491570000-1491584400@edmforum.eu SUMMARY:PBA Technology Seminar and Factory Visit DESCRIPTION: URL:https://edmforum.eu/event/pba-tecnhology-session/ LOCATION:Connect Group Ieper\, Bargiestraat 2\, Ieper\, 8900\, Belgium CATEGORIES:Technology seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20170406T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20170406T110000 DTSTAMP:20260709T164553 CREATED:20231212T224231Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T090724Z UID:1931-1491472800-1491476400@edmforum.eu SUMMARY:Webinar 2017-4-6: Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bart Vandevelde – imec \n\n\n\nBefore electronic systems can be brought on the market\, they must fulfill qualification tests according to international standards and customer specified test programs. Thermal and mechanical environmental loadings are major causes for electronic system failures that also appear during these qualification testing. It is obvious that any failure after such a test is very expensive in terms of time and cost. Performing virtual testing in a simulation environment allows to find possible weak spots in the system already in early phase of the development when adaptations can be made easily. In this webinar\, we will show several examples how simulations are used to virtually test the electronic systems from the thermal and mechanical point of view. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.20 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 37.00 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

DESCRIPTION:The research group ReMI (Reliability in Mechatronics and ICT) organizes a course on basic and advanced techniques to increase the immunity of products against electromagnetic disturbances. \n\n\n\n\n\nue to the ever increasing use of electronic systems in almost every possible application\, the generation of possible disturbances has been continuously growing over the last decade with no signs that this trend will be broken. Besides\, one sees that electronic systems are being applied more and more in and for mission or even safety critical functions which require an extremely high resilience against all environmental stresses\, including electromagnetic disturbances\, over the whole foreseen lifetime. As a product developer it is often very difficult to assess the products environment\, let alone foresee the effect of various electromagnetic disturbances on the product itself.In this training course several topics about the immunity of electronic products and their electromagnetic environment are discussed. Low-cost pre-compliance debugging and protection techniques against ESD\, surge transients\, etc. are presented.Key-note speaker of this course is Keith Armstrong (UK). Keith has written many practical papers and books on design for EMC and EMC debugging. Much of his working life involves solving real-life EMC problems in high-technology products\, systems\, and installations\, for a variety of companies and organisations in a wide range of industries. Keith has always aimed to make products easy to design and manufacture\, work properly\, please their users\, and make money for their manufacturers. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\nDay 1: \n\n\n\n\nIntro on EMC & immunity\n\n\n\nResilience to EM disturbances for mission- or safety-critical systems\n\n\n\nAssessing an EM environment\n\n\n\nOverview of basic EMC immunity test methods\n\n\n\nBasic low-cost precompliance immunity testing \n\n\n\n\nDay 2: \n\n\n\n\nAdvanced low-cost precompliance immunity testing\n\n\n\nProtection against ESD\n\n\n\nProtecting against surge\, transients\, etc\n\n\n\nProtecting from AC/DC power quality\n\n\n\n\nParticipation fee:  \n\n\n\n\n€650 (excl.

However\, a lot of questions and misunderstanding exist around what is exactly required and who should be involved with the CE-marking process. Within this seminar\, we will clarify the difference between directives and standards\, explain a typical conformity assessment procedure and describe the typical format of the final Declaration-of-Conformity. It will be stressed that the CE-marking on its own is not the evidence of compliance\, instead\, it is the Technical Documentation that gathers all arguments for claiming compliance. Advice will be given on how to identify the relevant directives and standards needed for this Technical Documentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n CE Marking of Electronic Products\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.26 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n CE Marking of Electronic Products – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 44.43 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

In this webinar we will explain how to apply this method to a PBA (Printed Board Assembly). A differentiation is made between failures at the level of the PCB\, component failures and failures at the interconnection level. A list of common failure mechanisms is documented in a database which serves as a guide through the risk assessment process. For each of the potential malfunctions\, the critical parameters that influence the occurrence of the failure are listed. By gaining a better understanding of the effect of these parameters\, the effect of certain design choices on the final product performance will become more clear. Some practical examples will be shown to improve your knowledge on the methodology as well as on some of the potentially occurring (and avoidable) errors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n How FMEA Can Improve the Reliability of Your Product\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.51 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n How FMEA Can Improve The Reliability of Your Product – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 30.40 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

This conference aims to show you that an ASIC could be easier and less costly than you think. It will show there are a range of strategies that can be used to successfully implement an ASIC solution even in low to moderate volumes.Come along to imec’s headquarters in Leuven\, Belgium and hear from the experts and peers on how to do it\, how it may be easier and less costly than you think. \n\n\n\n\n\nCome and see some case studies that show designing your own ASIC can be done at a very low cost and without the need for acquiring significant overhead. You will hear about some of the other advantages\, such as IP protection\, that comes with low cost ASICS. So no matter if it’s a first time design in ASIC or a cost reduction from FPGA or PCB this conference has something for you.There is strong interest in this event expect to hear keynote speakers from TSMC and imec together with contributions from a range of other industry speakers as well as several real world case studies.According to Phill Christie of the Business Technolgoy & Strategy Group at imec “The continued falling cost of ASIC manufacturing is a message that really needs to get out. This message is especially important for start-ups and SMEs focussing on IoT markets\, where more mature technologies have a strong role play. I think the conference on Easy Access ASICs will be a tremendous networking opportunity and an excellent way to gain access to the low-cost manufacturing infra-structure that is now in place.”Patrick McNamee from the NMI continued “ It seems that in semiconductors all the news in the last year or so has been about mergers and acquisitions. However our members are telling us that there is a real and growing demand from SME’s to enable them to get into ASIC for a whole range applications including IOT\, medical and automotive sectors this conference should demonstrate several ways this can be achieved at low cost.” URL:https://edmforum.eu/event/nmi-dsp-valley-imec-event-2016-silicon-to-systems/ LOCATION:Imec Leuven\, Kapeldreef 75\, Leuven\, 3001\, Belgium CATEGORIES:Partner Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20161028T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20161028T170000 DTSTAMP:20260709T164553 CREATED:20240726T113352Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240726T114841Z UID:5850-1477659600-1477674000@edmforum.eu SUMMARY:PCB Technology Seminar and Factory Visit DESCRIPTION:PCB Technology Seminar 2016 Program\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 159.70 KB\n \n \n Download URL:https://edmforum.eu/event/pcb-technology-seminar-and-factory-visit-3/ LOCATION:ACB\, Vosmeer 3\, Dendermonde\, +3252202030\, 9200\, Belgium CATEGORIES:Technology seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20161018T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20161019T235959 DTSTAMP:20260709T164553 CREATED:20241008T092209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241008T092407Z UID:8755-1476748800-1476921599@edmforum.eu SUMMARY:EuWorel 2016: 4th European Expert Workshop on Reliability of Electronics and Smart Systems DESCRIPTION:cEDM attended the “4th European Expert Workshop on Reliability of Electronics and Smart Systems” in Berlin.

The goal of this directive is to reduce the use of six hazardous materials in the electronics industry : Pb\, Hg\, Cd\, Cr6+ and the flame retardants PBB and PBDE. \n\n\n\nThe electronics industry started preparing for this directive well in advance. It proved to have an impact to the operations of the electronic industry as well as on electronics quality and reliability\, larger than what some expected. \n\n\n\nMainly the use of lead-free soldering processes\, and the subsequent higher soldering temperature\, induced a change in the choice of solder alloys and flux formulations\, PCB substrate material\, board and terminal finishes\, component mold compounds and lead to more thermal stress to the components during soldering. It also changed the way we look at reliability of electronic modules. Even some of the well-established design rules required revision. \n\n\n\nOn the other hand\, the requirement of traceability of RoHS compliancy over the total supply chain was a logistical challenge\, both for the component suppliers\, for the manufacturers ERP systems and for the quality departments in the companies. As an extra complexity\, the exemptions for some sectors meant that most manufacturing companies had the need to run both lead-free and SnPb solder processes simultaneously (some still do). \n\n\n\nDuring this workshop\, we will focus on legislation and on the material aspects of the RoHS story. Below you find a short overview of the presentations that will be given during the workshop. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00IntroductionThe future of RoHS\, what is still coming up?In the last ten years\, we got used to RoHS. Even the recast of 2011 did not fundamentally change the way RoHS works. But will this also be true for the next ten years? And what about other EU policies coming up?

This applies to older device types\, like 74-series TTL and HCMOS\, as well as to the latest microprocessors and memories\, so designing with the same old parts does not protect us from this problem. So PCB technology must continually advance\, to design PCBs in a way that doesn’t create problems for Signal Integrity (SI)\, Power Integrity (PI) and ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Advanced PCB EMC techniques are generally needed when resonances in PCB structures are excited by the frequencies present in the analogue\, digital or power supply current waveforms. After the appropriate choice of semiconductors (or designing your own ASICs)\, the most cost-effective SI\, PI and EMC techniques are those applied at the PCB level.This course provides a practical grounding in PCB EMC design and layout techniques that have been proven over many years in real life to help companies quickly improve their commercial and financial performance by: \n\n\n\n\nBringing products to market more quickly\n\n\n\nImproving functional performance\n\n\n\nReducing overall unit manufacturing costs\n\n\n\nEasily complying with legal EMC requirements\n\n\n\nReducing warranty costs and improving customer perception of the brand\n\n\n\nReducing financial risks\n\n\n\nImproving Return On Investment\n\n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\nDay 1: \n\n\n\n\nThe scope of these layout techniques\n\n\n\nSaving time and money\n\n\n\nSegregation\n\n\n\nInterface analysis\, filtering\, and suppression\n\n\n\n0V and power planes\n\n\n\nPCB-chassis bonding\n\n\n\nPower supply decoupling\n\n\n\nSwitch-mode power converter layout (AC-DC\, DC-DC\, etc.)\n\n\n\nTransmission line techniques\n\n\n\nLayer stacking\n\n\n\nDevices with BGA packages and/or multiple DC rails\n\n\n\nSome useful references and sources\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: \n\n\n\n\nWhen should we use advanced PCB techniques?\n\n\n\nFuture trends and their implications\n\n\n\nRules of thumb\, approximations\, simulations\n\n\n\nVirtual design for SI\, PI and EMC\n\n\n\nAdvanced segregation techniques\n\n\n\nPCB-level shielding up to GHz\n\n\n\nAdvanced interface filtering and suppression\n\n\n\nAdvanced PCB-chassis bonding\n\n\n\nAdvanced PCB planes\n\n\n\nThe totally shielded PCB assembly\n\n\n\nAdvanced PCB decoupling\n\n\n\n\nParticipation fee:€750 (excl.

This has led to a highly complex and fragmented electronics supply chain. \n\n\n\nRecently many companies have become aware of the disadvantages of manufacturing at the other side of the planet when servicing their Western customers. Re-shoring and near-shoring are the new buzz words. Combined with a renewed interest and stimulation of local manufacturing by US and EU governments a paradigm shift in electronics manufacturing may be on the verge of a breakthrough. \n\n\n\nDuring this cEDM event we will give a view on this paradigm shift and what is key to competitive electronic products nearby. \n\n\n\nGeert Willems of cEDM explains how the main asset of the Benelux – brainpower – can be a major competitive advantage in electronics product development and manufacturing. An overview of cEDM’s knowledge supporting electronic product development will be presented. \n\n\n\nTwo of our partners will testify on how they successfully manage their manufacturing: \n\n\n\n\nGert D’Handschotter explains why he has taken the decision to integrate electronics manufacturing in his company E.D.&.A and what is key to its success.\n\n\n\nGuy de Winne will enlighten us on Newtec Manufacturing Competence Centre’s view on competitive manufacturing of Newtec products and to provide manufacturing services to 3rd parties. He will explain what is behind Newtec’s “2015 Factory of the Future” award.\n\n\n\n\nFinally\, Craig Hillman will explain the importance of product reliability and Design-for-Reliability. DfR Solutions (US) has developed the tool Sherlock to assist the Design for Reliability process. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00Welcome14h10Competitive Electronics Assembly nearbyGeert Willems – imec14h40Taking manufacturing activities back in your own handsGert D’Handschotter – E.D.& A15h10Break with visit to booths15h30Factory of the Future 2015: Shaping the future of satellite communicationsGuy De Winne – Newtec16h00Design for Reliability : a condition for successful product introduction.

Profound knowledge is not necessary but a basic knowledge in electronics is desirable. \n\n\n\n\n\nSolving Electromagnetic compatibility problems is still seen as “black magic” by engineers involved in the design process of electronic products. Nevertheless\, many problems can be avoided and/or solved when a couple of basic principles are understood and used. In this course Prof. Davy Pissoort teaches engineers who are regularly confronted to EMC problems how to use these basic principles and this without any complex mathematics nor theories. The emphasis of this course is on the practical application of these basic principles. This course is divided into four seperate modules on four seperate days: \n\n\n\n\nModule 1 (07/10/2015) : Introduction in EMC\, European guidelines\, normatives and CE marking\n\nWhat is EMC?\n\n\n\nWhat are EM-fields?\n\n\n\nEMC and CE marking\n\n\n\nEMC assessment\n\n\n\nEMC directives and measuring methods\n\n\n\n\n\nModule 2 (14/10/2015) : Basics of EMC\n\nFive fundamental EMC terms\n\nFrequency domain vs. time domain\n\n\n\nNon-intentional antennas\n\n\n\nCommon mode and differential mode\n\n\n\nInterconnection impedance\n\n\n\nEquipotential design\n\n\n\n\n\nPossible ways of coupling\n\n\n\n\n\nModule 3 (21/10/2015) : Rules for good EMC craftsmanship\n\nHF “ground” connections for EMC\n\n\n\nGood EMC craftmanship for cables and connectors\n\n\n\nEMC filters\n\n\n\nEMC shielding\n\n\n\n\n\nModule 4 (28/10/2015) : How to use simulations for EMC problems and a practical DEMO\n\n\n\n\nParticipation fee:€600 (excl.
