| | OCTOBER 20218I ndia is poised for becoming a hub for manufacturing ecosystem of electronics and associated compo-nents. There are talks about newpro-duction-linked incentive schemes as country struggles to contain its elec-tronics import. Component segment de-fines the scope and speed for the final products across all verticals and Printed Circuit Boards are an essential denomi-nator. Even as the electronics compo-nent manufacturing industry strategiz-es on ways and means for negotiating the post Merchandise Exports from In-dia Scheme (MEIS) era and proposed Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Product (RoDTEP) scheme, it is impera-tive for all concerned to understand and appreciate the potentials of Printed Cir-cuit Board and evolving technologies.The age of anytime, anywhere connectivity has dawned irrevocably and our devices supporting the new lifestyle should therefore be able to perform tasks to support people as autonomously and efficiently as possible. While using sensors, artificial intelligence, networking and et all, people's mobility has to be safe without any limitations and eco-friendly at the same, and personal safety and health should be improved continuously as the population keeps aging.Very small mobile devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, earpods and virtual reality glasses support people in a wide variety of tasks. Thanks to mobile diagnostics and therapy devices, it is getting easier to monitor health better. In all of this, users expect an increasing number of functions on eversmaller space with longer battery life to support such a mobile lifestyle. As mobile devices are getting smaller and more battery space is necessary, the electronics contained in such devices require "miniaturization".While the cycles of developing and launching products on the market are getting shorter, quality requirements are increasing at the same time. This challenge can be met by combining pre-developed, multiple-use system parts with one or several system functions in electronic modules ("modularization"). Examples of such modules include sensor modules, computing or artificial intelligence (AI) modules, and radio frequency (RF) modules for wireless communication and data transfer.The trend of modularization increasingly manifests itself not only in consumer, computer and communication products such as smartphones, smartwatches, smart speakers, notebooks, etc. but also in ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY TO RIDE MODULARISATION AND TAP ADDITIONAL VALUE CREATIONBy RS Simha, MD & CFO, AT&S IndiaVANTAGE POINTAutomotive, industrial and medicalapplications (AIM) use high end technologies with reduced trace widths from CCC as a platform for further innovationMr RS Simha is the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer of AT&S India Pvt.
