Integration enables companies to prepare designs and implement robust test strategies early in the PCB assembly manufacturing process, enabling earlier defect detection, reduced costs, accelerated ...

Design for manufacturing (DFM) has become a proactive part of the design process, but the same cannot be said for DFT. Whereas “left-shifting” DFM has reduced manufacturing problems, increased yield, ...

Siemens has acquired ASTER Technologies, a privately held provider of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test verification and engineering software, as it moves to expand its electronic design ...

Manufacturing issues are one of the top reasons that we see warranty returns and loss of market share in the electronics industry. Issues like supply chain failures and printed circuit board assembly ...

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

Once a circuit design is complete and the PCB has been laid out, the complex process of transferring all the design data to manufacturing begins. The data communicate not only the physical positions ...

Siemens today announced it has acquired ASTER Technologies (“ASTER”), a privately held market leader in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test verification and engineering software. This strategic ...
