Electronica 24: Dirk Stans on Navigating the European Electronics Industry with Innovation and Collaboration
Join us as we uncover the complex dynamics of the European electronics industry with Dirk Stans from Eurocircuits. What if the key to thriving through geopolitical shifts lies in a robust balance between prototype development and volume production? Dirk shares how Eurocircuits has harnessed a data-first strategy, utilizing digital twins to revolutionize design processes, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. Discover how their emphasis on precise data and right-first-time accuracy has propelled impressive growth in their assembly business. This conversation offers an in-depth look at the ongoing digital transformation and the pivotal role of technical data management in driving industry success.
However, the conversation doesn't stop there. We delve into the urgent need for a unified European response to global challenges like energy transition and market integration. Can the European Union effectively compete with economic giants without cohesive collaboration? Dirk illuminates the critical role of industry in sustaining local economies and funding social infrastructure, while highlighting the persistent shortage of skilled workers in regions like Flanders and Germany.
With initiatives like the Budapest Declaration and the influence of industry advocacy groups like the IPC, there's a growing awareness of the need to prioritize industrial development within the EU. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion on how European collaboration can forge a resilient future in the global market.
