Zuken Electronics Innovation Day

Driving Innovation and Productivity in Electronics Design

Join Zuken UK for a full-day technical event focused on practical ways to improve electronic systems design, PCB engineering productivity, analysis, manufacturing readiness and design data control.

14 October · In person · Zuken UK - Bristol

Engineering focus

Tackle today’s electronics design challenges with confidence

Product teams are managing denser designs, tighter mechanical constraints, faster interfaces, analysis pressure and higher rework risk. This event is built around the process questions behind those pressures: where design time is lost, where risk enters the flow and how connected workflows can improve engineering output.

Discussion themes

Practical sessions across the electronics workflow

System and multi-board design

Plan electronics around the complete product architecture, not isolated boards, so enclosure, interconnect and performance decisions stay visible.

High-speed design, SI, PI and EMC

Move analysis earlier in the workflow to reduce late rework, identify electrical risk and make stronger design decisions before release.

AI-assisted design workflows

Explore where automation and AI support practical engineering productivity without losing control of design intent or process quality.

ECAD-MCAD collaboration and 3D design

Connect electronic and mechanical teams around shared constraints, 3D context and controlled change across the design cycle.

DFM and manufacturing handoff

Improve manufacturing readiness by making checks, documentation and supplier handoff part of the engineering workflow.

Design data, reuse and controlled processes

Strengthen repeatability with design data control, reuse strategies and traceable processes that support engineering scale.

Innovation Hubs

Hands-on technical conversations during breaks and lunch

Move between focused hubs to talk through workflow questions, see practical examples and discuss the bottlenecks affecting your own design process.

  • AI-assisted productivity
  • SI, PI and EMC analysis
  • Multi-board and 3D design
  • DFM and release readiness
  • Design data management
  • CR-8000 workflow discussion

What you will take away

Engineering outcomes, not just tool features

Reduce design risk earlier

Spot constraints, analysis issues and downstream manufacturing concerns before they become release blockers.

Improve productivity

Identify workflow improvements that remove friction from layout, collaboration, verification and reuse.

Strengthen design quality

Build confidence through better process control, connected checks and decisions grounded in system-level context.

Connect engineering workflows

Bring electronics, mechanical, analysis, manufacturing and data management work into a more controlled flow.
