Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO 2025: Transforming Engineering With Digital Solutions from Zuken
March 27, 2025 | Real Time with...IPC APEX EXPOEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Bob Potock discusses Zuken's focus on digital engineering and a move away from traditional document-based processes to model-based designs. This change improves product definition, reduces design errors, and optimizes product parameters. Bob notes that the IPC-2581 standard is crucial for connecting designs, while AI enhances design efficiency. Connected manufacturing links design outputs directly to machines, reducing human error. The concept of digital twins is also discussed, showcasing AI's role in design optimization.
The 25th IPC APEX EXPO, March 18-20, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, has concluded successfully.
