Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Prachinburi STARTEAM Achieves ISO 45001 Certification
February 6, 2026 | STARTEAM GLOBALEstimated reading time: 1 minute
We are pleased to announce that our PST manufacturing facility in Prachinburi, Thailand, has officially earned the ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety certification from BSI. This internationally recognised standard confirms that the site operates with robust systems to protect employee well‑being and maintain a safe, well‑structured working environment.
While ISO 45001 is primarily a health and safety standard, its benefits extend far into operational reliability. A safe and well‑managed factory is less likely to experience disruptions caused by incidents, unplanned stoppages, or workforce shortages. By strengthening hazard‑identification processes, enhancing communication across production lines, and improving emergency preparedness, our PST team has created a workplace that supports more consistent, predictable, and smoothly executed manufacturing operations.
For our customers, this translates into greater confidence in long‑term performance. Stable teams, clear procedures, and disciplined safety practices contribute to improved process control and manufacturing continuity — qualities that are increasingly important in today’s competitive electronics landscape.
This achievement also aligns with the evolving ESG expectations of many global brands. ISO 45001 ensures that safety management is structured, auditable, and continuously improved, supporting customers who prioritise responsible and transparent supply chain partnerships.
The attainment of ISO 45001 strengthens its foundation for delivering reliable, high‑quality PCB solutions and reinforces our commitment to being a trusted long‑term manufacturing partner.
Looking ahead, PST will continue to align with international standards, advancing its occupational health, safety, and sustainability initiatives to support responsible and sustainable growth.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the PST team for their commitment and dedication throughout the certification process. By continually improving our safety systems and processes, we protect the wellbeing of our employees and reinforce the reliability, continuity, and quality that our customers and partners depend on worldwide.
