Introduction to PCB Design I for electronics manufacturing

Introduction to PCB Design I for electronics manufacturing

This demonstration line is jointly developed by the Global Electronics Association (GEA) together with Aurotek, Advantech AI, and Universal Robots, fully adopting the GEA/IPC CFX standard to enable plug-and-play connectivity, real-time data exchange, and end-to-end traceability. The line integrates AI-driven inspection and safety monitoring with collaborative robot automation, while seamlessly connecting to MES, ERP, and cloud platforms to create a highly connected smart manufacturing environment. Through this CFX showcase, the solution demonstrates a comprehensive digital management model spanning production, quality, and workforce safety—helping electronics manufacturers accelerate smart factory adoption, improve operational efficiency, and reduce overall risk.

This course introduces foundational principles for understanding electrical systems and electronic hardware. Topics include basic DC and AC electrical theory, passive and semiconductor components, the use of basic test tools, and familiarity with common methods of inspection.
