Sustainability in electronics

Sustainability is more than just a question of good practice for the electronics industry. It is a business necessity, with customers and regulators placing stringent demands on electronics manufacturers to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Data plays a critical role in increasing and demonstrating sustainability. With the right information it is possible to increase operational efficiency, raise machine productivity, cut waste of materials and reduce energy usage. At Hexagon we focus on developing open, interconnected systems that simulate, capture, exchange and analyse design, production and inspection data. They make it possible to predict the outcomes and drive the efficiencies that result in sustainable manufacturing, while providing traceability. We also partner with industry leaders in sustainability to enable environmental compliance checks with the latest legislation for multiple geographies, including REACH and RoHS.
