Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) is the next big thing in electronics manufacturing. It’s an entirely new platform for electronics. But what is it and how will it affect your business?

FHE manufacturing combines printed elements with semiconductors to create thin flexible electronic devices. With FHE, manufacturers can create electronics that can be lighter in weight, conform to the curves of a human body, or stretch across the shape of an object or structure—all while preserving the full operational integrity of traditional electronic architectures.

FHE applications include:

• Wearable information devices to monitor and optimize health and lifestyle decisions
• Dramatically improving medical technology delivery—through biomarkers and device implants—which can monitor vital signs for the elderly, those with chronic conditions, and our soldiers during combat
• Enabling embedded sensors to monitor the state of commercial vehicles and aircraft operating in harsh environments
• Improving security operations, with applications in light-weight robotics, as well as, next generation imaging and sensing capabilities
• Dramatically reducing the electronic systems package size and weight through electronics that conform to complex shapes such as aircraft wings or unattended vehicle platforms, and integrating electronics in clothing and fabrics

Please join us for a one-day, hands-on workshop where we will explore the limitless potential and endless possibilities of this exciting, disruptive technology and help you discover ways to implement Flexible Hybrid Electronics into your products in order to give you a distinct competitive advantage.
