Automation in Electronics Manufacturing Enables Better
Patient Care
Automation removes the
possibility of human error
in high-precision or
repetitive processes.

tronics manufacturing. Not only does
manufacturing automation help lower
costs, but it can also improve quality and
reliability by removing the possibility of
human error in high-precision or repetitive
processes.
Medical device design and manufacturing
is a balancing act between im -
proved patient outcomes and the cost of
development, with the scale leaning
toward patient health and safety. Over
the last few years, innovations in manufacturing
have made volume electronics
more cost-effective. This trend enables
critical advancements in medical device
development, resulting in products that
allow healthcare professionals to im -
prove safety and quality control while
making patient care more flexible.
Advances in designing and engineering
complex electromechanical and
robotic assembly and test systems are
primary drivers of cost-effective elecIn
addition to automation, electronics
miniaturization has a significant effect
on the cost of producing medical
devices. Top-of-the-line electronic de -
sign and manufacturing firms have
developed new engineering and production
processes to create high-density
interconnect circuit topologies in highlayer
count boards. This manufacturing
method can create the smallest total
electronics packages available, allowing
user comfort to drive device design in
medical devices.
The reduction in electronic manufacturing
costs drives two trends improving
patient care:
sophisticated single-use
devices and medical device consumables.
Up until a few years ago, the cost
of electronic manufacturing at volume
■ Single-Use Devices
Some of the most popular single-use
devices are endoscopes and guides used
in laparoscopy, arthroscopy, laryngos -
copy, colonoscopy, and other gastrointestinal
procedures. Up until recently,
these devices were designed to be re -
usable. There are multiple reasons for
this, but one of the main reasons is the
simple fact that optics development has
been far too costly.
In addition to process automation, a
significant force enabling single-use
devices is improvements in complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)
and light-emitting diode (LED) technology.
The development of these technolomade
reusable devices the more feasible
approach. But today, these types of onetime-use
technologies are in high de -
mand because they are more affordable,
help healthcare professionals meet strict
regulations, and offer improved patient
outcomes.
