Q5D, a UK-based company, has developed the CY1000 robot for automating wire harness manufacturing. The robot reduces the need for manual labor and offers cost efficiency and improved product quality compared to traditional handmade processes. The CY1000 robot uses linear motors and a five-axis platform to deposit wire onto a surface, ensuring fast and accurate wire laying and termination. It has gained significant interest from the automotive sector, which is looking for solutions to supply chain disruptions and rising labor costs. Q5D plans to introduce conductive ink end effectors and expand its manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents the discussion on smartphone from Carbon Mobile GmbH . Topics include computer engineer turning entrepreneur deploying innovative new composites technology on mobile phones; and developing an isotropic grounding and electrostatic discharge (ESD) solution pioneering methods for making smartphones greener and more customer friendly.

The article focuses on wearable skin monitors have a tendency to fall off and one lab has demonstrated that drawing electronics with conductive ink works better. Topics include the wearables use adhesives to stick to the skin, and are easily dislodged during motion even if they are very thin, the new technique being also more precise, and the big difference when monitoring physical data like heart rate, temperature, and other functions.

The article discusses the development of a low-cost three-dimensional printer (3D) printer by researchers at the University of Minnesota, which can be used to prints sensors and electronics on skin and can be used in military applications. Topics discussed include the use of a machine vision algorithm by the printer, the easiness for the printed device to be peeled off from skin after use and the criteria for conductive inks.

The article offers information on the introduction of ultra-elastic and conformable electronics in electronic industry. Topics discussed include inks, transparent conductive films and sensors in stretchable and conformable electronics; leadership in the photovoltaic industry increasing supplier of conductive ink; and transition in wearable technology with conductive ink technology.

The article offers information on the Sicrys conductive inks from manufacturing company PV Nano Cell Ltd.

The article discusses a study by led by researcher Takao Someya published in a 2015 issue of the periodical "Nature Communications" on development of an ink that can be used to print conductive and elastic structures such as transistor arrays directly on a variety of materials.
