Size, Safety and Software: Driving Innovation in Nondestructive Testing of Electronics

The future of the automotive industry depends on sustainability and rapidly changing innovation. The availability and adoption of advanced technology solutions is driving the majority of the underlying trends in the marketplace. The demand for electric vehicles, connected cars, mobility fleet sharing, onboard sensors for safety, and always-on connectedness requires new production techniques as well as a reliable method of inspection. Today's vehicles could be equipped with anywhere from 60 to 150 sensors to keep everything running the way it should. While automakers continue to adopt smart and autonomous driving technology for the vehicles they manufacture, the total number of sensors as well as their sophistication increases. These sensors, including the electronic and electromechanical components within them, control everything from performance characteristics, temperature inside the vehicle, driver alerts for forward collision warnings to automatic braking, self-parking and so much more. That's why it's so important to identify the best inspection technique for the highest quality and reliability.
