Advint Incorporated Brings Artificial Intelligence to Electroplating Training
September 11, 2025 | Advint IncorporatedEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Advint Incorporated is introducing a new dimension to its electroplating training programs: the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to providing PCB fabricators and manufacturers in the USA and Canada with training that is practical, forward-looking, and directly relevant to today’s production challenges.
AI-enhanced training enriches both content and delivery. Participants can now engage in interactive modules that adapt to individual needs, offering simulations of real plating conditions where decisions can be tested and outcomes observed without risk. This approach reinforces critical concepts while providing data-driven insights that sharpen troubleshooting skills, improve process optimization, and translate into stronger on-the-job performance.
Feedback from PCB industry participants has been consistently positive. One recent trainee noted in a public review, “The course made complex plating variables clear and immediately useful in our shop floor decisions.” Such reviews highlight the program’s focus on practical application rather than theory alone.
For PCB professionals, the benefits of this AI-driven approach are significant: accelerated skill development, stronger process reliability, and improved efficiency that directly impact yield and quality. Engineers, technicians, and managers leave with tools they can apply right away to reduce variability and strengthen plating outcomes.
Looking ahead, Advint will continue to refine its training with advanced tools and industry feedback, ensuring alignment with the evolving needs of the PCB sector. The integration of AI is more than a delivery upgrade—it represents a broader commitment to continuous learning, innovation, and measurable improvements in PCB electroplating."

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.

American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics
04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyCurrent world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.
