A PCB the size of a fingernail is densely packed with hundreds of components. Leaving a clear and permanent mark in such a small area is no easy task. This is not only a technical challenge but also a meticulous one—any slight mistake could damage the delicate circuitry or leave an unclear mark. In this … Read more
China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of fruits, but the post-harvest loss rate for fruits is as high as 15%-25%, far exceeding the 5% level of developed countries. Losses mainly occur in the cold chain “breaks” such as untimely pre-cooling after picking, imprecise temperature control during transportation, and rough storage management. Traditional cold … Read more
In the electronics manufacturing industry, the clarity, durability, and traceability of product identifications are crucial. As electronic components trend towards miniaturization and high integration, traditional coding technologies (such as inkjet coding and laser marking) may face issues such as insufficient adhesion, thermal damage, or lack of precision. UV coding machines, with their advantages of high … Read more
This article is authored by Theo Kersjes, Systems Engineering Manager at ON Semiconductor. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are complex systems that share many similarities with autonomous vehicles—they require perception, motor drive, power conversion, lighting, and battery management. Perhaps the greatest challenge is integrating these subsystems into a final product—due to the need to integrate different … Read more
