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.

Green Circuits Strengthens Real-Time Manufacturing Control with Cetec ERP
February 23, 2026 | Green CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Green Circuits, a full-service electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner to leading OEMs in aerospace and defense, medical and health technology, industrial electronics, and semiconductor and AI hardware markets, has significantly enhanced real-time manufacturing visibility and operational control following its implementation of Cetec ERP nearly two years ago.
The web-based ERP platform was deployed as part of a strategic initiative to unify business systems, improve cross-functional transparency, and support the company’s continued growth in high-reliability and regulated markets.
Since implementation, Green Circuits has strengthened shop floor visibility, streamlined quoting and order processing, improved inventory accuracy and material traceability, and enhanced document and quality management workflows. The centralized platform integrates ERP, MRP, CRM, and QMS functionality into a single system, enabling departments to access consistent, real-time data across sales, engineering, manufacturing, quality, and finance.
“Implementing Cetec ERP has given us greater transparency across the organization,” said Mark Evans, Chief Operating Officer. “Real-time access to production, materials, and quality data allows us to make faster decisions, respond more effectively to customer requirements, and maintain strong process control as we scale.”
The system’s web-based architecture supports Green Circuits’ dynamic production environment, including prototype-to-production transitions, engineering change management, and strict documentation requirements. Enhanced traceability and integrated quality controls further strengthen compliance capabilities for aerospace, medical, and other high-reliability sectors.
As demand continues to grow in complex electronics manufacturing, the ERP platform provides the infrastructure necessary to scale operations while maintaining discipline, accountability, and process consistency.
“Our investment in Cetec ERP was about building a stronger operational foundation,” added Evans. “It allows us to improve efficiency internally while delivering greater predictability and responsiveness to our customers.”
Green Circuits provides end-to-end electronics manufacturing services, including design support, PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and box build, supporting both prototype and full-scale production programs.

Podcast Hits the Mark in a Materials Market
04/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The base material of a printed circuit board is its literal and functional foundation. Isola, founded in 1912 in Düren, Germany, is one of the longest-standing manufacturers of glass-reinforced laminates in the electronics industry. Originally focused on insulation and fiberglass materials, the company played an early role in supplying the foundational substrates that enabled the growth of PCB technology. As electronics advanced, Isola evolved alongside the industry, expanding from basic glass-epoxy laminates into high-performance copper-clad materials and engineered prepregs.

SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, Day 1: AI at the Core or Out of the Game
04/13/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a beautiful 81°F morning in Arizona last Wednesday as I headed to the third annual SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, focused on AI and ultra high density interconnect technology. Strategically held as part of Arizona’s Tech Week, this year’s conference took place in Avondale in Phoenix's West Valley. The event moved from the cozy offices of the Peoria Sports Complex (which paid homage to baseball’s spring training world) to the larger Avondale Conference Center, highlighting the importance of this area for electronics manufacturing investment.
