Workshops for E-Components, PCB and PCBA
The objectives of the workshops are to provide the participants a basic understanding of electronic components (ecomponents) and the PCB assembly process (PCBA). Different methods and examples are used to show the participants how to quickly identify e-components on a PCB. The workshops empower the participants to calculate E-BOMs and PCBs efficiently. Our moduels can be adjusted individually.

Electronics Cost Engineering Workshops with our partner
Electronic plays a more and more significant role in a world becoming more digitalized, mobilized, connected and sustainable. Our home, our industry as well as our infrastructure are equipped with electronic control units and software to become more automated and intelligent (e.g. IoT). Currently, we witness an accelerated transition of our mobility concept and energy supply to a fully electrified traction system (e.g. e-mobility, high speed railway, hyperloop,…) and sustainable energy sources respectively (e.g. wind, solar, …). Those trends increase the need for electronic hardware drastically. This leads to the fact that electronic devices are becoming more and more relevant cost drivers in most products across all application fields.
