UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Bleeding-edge Manufacturing Applications, Part 2
December 23, 2024 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Ultra high-density interconnect (UHDI) technology is transforming manufacturing by enabling compact, high-performance, and energy-efficient electronics in cutting-edge industrial systems. Its precision and scalability meet the demands of advanced manufacturing technologies. Here's another overview of bleeding-edge UHDI applications in manufacturing:
Smart Manufacturing and IoT-Driven Automation
UHDI enables the miniaturization and performance enhancement of IoT sensors, which are the backbone of Smart manufacturing. With this level of automation, UHDI aids in integrating advanced security measures within IoT devices to prevent data breaches.
- Compact IoT sensors and modules: For real-time data acquisition and machine monitoring
- High-density connectivity: For edge computing devices that process data locally in smart systems
- Energy-efficient controllers: For powering distributed sensor networks
- Multi-sensor integration: UHDI allows multiple sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure, vibration) to be packed into a single compact unit
- Real-time data processing: Dense circuitry ensures high-speed data acquisition and transmission
- Durability: Reliable connections for sensors operating in harsh factory environments
- Hardware-based encryption modules: Ensuring secure data transmission
- Compact circuits for secure booting: Protecting devices from unauthorized access

Dan Beeker on the Design Engineer of the Future
02/07/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAs technical director at NXP Semiconductors, Dan Beeker specializes in EMC and signal integrity design techniques. He’s known for his field-based design classes; you may remember the cover of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” that Dan and his daughter Breezy released in 2015 titled “All About The Space.” Check it out on YouTube; it’s funny, and it definitely gets the point across. As we begin 2025, I contacted Dan to get his thoughts about the design engineers of the future. What will their jobs look like?
