| Exception kicks off technology roadshow - on the buses |
|
The UK’s leading contract electronics manufacturer, Exception, is hitting the road in April with its first-ever Technology Roadshow in its newly kitted training bus. The team, made up of some of the UK’s leading electronic engineers and industry partners, will be travelling across the UK in Exception’s iconic Routemaster red double-decker bus to offer insights on the latest cutting-edge technologies. The roadshow consists of workshops that provide practical guidance for both designers and OEMs on the use of some of the most innovative processes that are currently being pioneered by Exception’s technology team. The company’s engineers and partners will be offering hands-on advice and experience on such topics as the use of high density interconnect technology, flexi-rigid PCBs, impedance modelling and the latest developments in laminates and pre-preg materials. Other topics to be covered include design for manufacture (DFM) and design for volume (DFV). Sessions on realising high pin count FPGAs and the initiatives for an effect layout along with the pros and cons of copper-filled vias will also be included. Like all technologies, developments in PCBs have moved quickly in recent years and these workshops will showcase what can be done, whether it is better performance, faster delivery or cost reduction. As one of Europe’s leading technology manufacturers of PCBs, Exception is perfectly placed to offer insight and provide in-depth know-how to aid product realisations and time to market. Sales & marketing director at Exception PCB, Garry Myatt, commented: “We have already had a lot of interest in these events that will show both designers and manufacturers how technologies that were previously seen as ‘too hard’ or just unreliable, can now play a central role in better performance – especially as outsourcing becomes a common occurrence in manufacturing." Inspired by the use of a red London bus at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the team at Exception has spent the last few months faithfully restoring an original Routemaster bus that has been renovated to play a key part in its marketing events campaign in 2009/10.
