Electronic manufacturing and assembly news

SMT is not simply about achieving compact PCB designs. In high-reliability industries, SMT plays a critical role in ensuring repeatability, precision, and long-term performance under demanding conditions Beyond miniaturisation, SMT enables highly controlled, automated assembly processes that reduce variability and human error. When combined with lean manufacturing, advanced inspection systems,

The Hidden Cost of Low-Cost Suppliers in Aerospace Electronics In aerospace, there is no room for error. Every component, connection, and circuit has to perform flawlessly – not just once, but for years of operation in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Yet, time and again, procurement teams under cost

How Design for Manufacture Improves Medical Device Production In medical electronics, innovation often begins with a breakthrough prototype. This early-stage device proves that a concept works and shows how it could deliver life-changing benefits to patients. However, while many designs succeed in the lab, far fewer make the transition into

Trizo has successfully passed its latest AS9100 audit with BSI, achieving a clean result with no non-conformances’. This outcome not only reflects the dedication of the whole Company, but also reinforces Trizo’s commitment to delivering reliable, traceable, and compliant electronics for high-reliability and mission critical sectors including aerospace, medical, automotive, and nuclear. “We

The nuclear industry demands absolute reliability. Whether in power generation, control systems, or monitoring instrumentation, even the smallest component failure can lead to serious safety risks, unplanned shutdowns, or significant financial consequences. And yet, in recent years, the sector has seen a rising number of component-related issues – some tied

One feature and major advantage of advanced manufacturing, is that high throughput and high levels of quality don’t become mutually exclusive. Flexible, automated processes bring both precision and speed. Automated Assembly The point about scalability and precision is emphasised by the automated assembly process used in high-volume, high-precision electronics. The

Counterfeit electronic components are big business, often with links to organised crime. The global market for fake parts runs into the billions of dollars each year. And that’s before you get to the risks posed by non-conforming components entering PCB manufacturing and service. Semiconductors, integrated circuits, programmable logic devices and

Cutting production time and cost tends to be seen as working in opposition to improved quality levels. But that’s not necessarily the case with electronic assemblies. Certainly, if cutting costs is the only thing you care about, quality will almost certainly suffer. But that’s largely the world of high volume,

Trizo has held AS9100 accreditation since 2008. So we’ve had plenty of time to evaluate its impact on our business and our customers. It’s interesting to note how embedding such a rigorous standard into our manufacturing operations has benefitted customers even outside of the aerospace sector where it’s a requirement.

Meeting the demands of customers in high-reliability markets requires a wide range of skills. At Trizo, we build electronic assemblies in many formats and sizes. We also support volumes ranging from early prototypes to high-speed production runs in the hundreds of thousands. To achieve this flexibility, we use a variety
