EV Battery Management

Heavy copper BMS boards for cell monitoring, thermal management and charge control in hybrid and full-electric vehicles.

03

Engine & Powertrain Control

High-temperature multilayer boards for ECU and TCU operating near the engine bay from -40°C to +150°C.

04

Infotainment & Digital Cockpit

HDI multilayer boards for in-vehicle displays, connectivity, navigation and digital cluster platforms.

05

Chassis & Safety Systems

IPC Class 3 boards for ABS, ESP, airbag control and active suspension — zero tolerance for in-field failure.

06

Body Control Modules

Standard multilayer PCBs for door locks, window controls, lighting automation and central body electronics.

07

Automotive Lighting

Metal-core and aluminium PCBs for matrix LED headlights and adaptive lighting systems.

08

HVAC & Comfort Systems

Robust multilayer PCBs for climate control, seat adjustment and ambient environment management.

The Engineering Challenge

Why IoT PCB design
demands multi-discipline expertise

IoT devices must be cheap, tiny, power-sipping and RF-transparent simultaneously — while meeting global regulatory requirements in dozens of markets.

01

Multi-Protocol RF Coexistence

A single smart home device may integrate Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, Zigbee and Thread on one board. Managing RF coexistence, antenna isolation and shared spectrum without desensitisation requires careful stackup design, antenna placement and impedance control.

Wi-Fi 6 · BT 5.3 · Zigbee · Thread · 2.4 GHz coexistence
02

Low Power, Long Battery Life

IoT sensor nodes must run for years on a coin cell. Board design choices — trace resistance, parasitic capacitance, ground plane continuity — directly affect standby current by orders of magnitude. Getting the PCB right saves battery specification decisions downstream.

03

Global Certification at Low Cost

IoT products ship to CE (EU), FCC (USA), TELEC (Japan) and dozens of other regulatory zones. PCB stackup, RF trace routing and shielding cavity design affect emissions and immunity test outcomes. Getting it right at PCB level avoids costly chamber re-tests.

Quality & Compliance

High-volume quality for connected products.

IoT products ship in hundreds of thousands. A 1% board failure at volume creates massive warranty and logistics costs. Our DFM review, 100% AOI and controlled RF stackup design prevent field failures before mass production starts.
