Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Pricer Partners in the Eurostars-funded Project SELECT to Advance Sustainable Electronics
September 25, 2024 | PricerEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Pricer AB is pleased to announce its participation in the SELECT (Sustainable Electronics for Energy Harvesting Applications) project, which has received funding through the Eurostars program, the largest international funding program for SMEs collaborating on R&D projects.
This collaborative initiative brings together leading innovators from across Europe to develop a scalable platform for energy harvesting technologies, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of electronic devices.
As a key partner in the SELECT project, Pricer is focused on pioneering the development of batteryless electronic shelf labels (ESLs). By leveraging energy harvesting technologies, these ESLs are designed to operate without traditional batteries, drawing power from indoor ambient light. This advancement will contribute to a more sustainable retail environment, reducing the need for battery replacements and minimizing electronic waste.
Pricer’s role in the project aligns with its long-standing commitment to innovation and sustainability in the retail sector. By collaborating with leading sustainability-focused partners, Pricer aims to contribute to creating environmentally friendly, cost-effective solutions that meet the growing demand for sustainable electronics.
“We are excited to be part of the SELECT project and to work alongside some of Europe’s top innovators in this field,” said Chris Chalkitis, Chief Digital Officer at Pricer. “This project represents a significant step forward in our efforts to develop sustainable, energy-efficient solutions for our customers. We believe that the advancements made through this collaboration will have a lasting positive impact on both the environment and the retail industry.”
The SELECT project will focus on integrating various cutting-edge technologies, including ultra-low-power microcontrollers (ONiO), photovoltaics (Epishine), eco-friendly supercapacitors (Ligna Energy), and fully recyclable and biodegradable PCB laminates (Jiva Materials). The goal is to create a versatile platform that can be applied to a wide range of IoT and small electronics applications, starting with Pricer’s ESLs and next-generation remote controls from 4MOD Technology.
