Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Amtech Unveils Proprietary Automation Model for High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing
August 29, 2025 | AmtechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Amtech Electrocircuits, a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, announced the introduction of its proprietary automation model designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) production environments. This breakthrough approach integrates modular robotics, intelligent process design, and in-house software platforms to deliver the flexibility and speed that traditional automation systems lack.
Unlike rigid, high-volume automation lines, Amtech’s model is purpose-built for customers who demand rapid new product introductions, complex assemblies, and consistent quality across diverse product types. The system leverages scalable robotic cells, real-time data feedback, and dynamic factory layouts that can be reconfigured to meet changing requirements.
“Traditional automation wasn’t built with HMLV in mind,” said Jay Patel, President of Amtech Electrocircuits. “We developed this model to solve that challenge—giving our customers the agility to bring products to market faster while maintaining world-class precision and reliability.”
The automation framework has already been implemented within Amtech’s operations, where it has demonstrated measurable improvements in throughput, quality consistency, and cost efficiency. By combining robotics with proprietary control software, the model creates a smart, adaptive environment that balances efficiency with customization.
Amtech is an innovator in electronics manufacturing, providing customers with a solution that bridges the gap between flexibility and automation in today’s market.
