The greatest benefit has been working with the team members of Akrometrix, without which we could never have achieved the success we enjoy today.

The New Chapter: The Pros and Cons of Tribal Knowledge
09/29/2023 | Hannah Nelson & Paige Fiet -- Column: The New ChapterTribal knowledge is important and quite common in the electronics manufacturing industry—for good reason. Many engineers, technicians, and operators have formed their careers around building PCBs. Some even worked alongside the founding fathers of electronics. Newer, young minds stand on the shoulders of this knowledge base. As a process engineer, I work with operators who have been coating panels with solder mask longer than I’ve been alive. Some know the exact coating parameters required for the toughest of designs. To watch them hand-screen panels is like learning the nuances of a family recipe handed down through generations.
