PCB Design Engineers icon
General Role Icon
Wire harness assembly has long been one of the most labor-intensive and complex aspects of manufacturing. Unlike printed circuit boards (PCBs), which benefit from high levels of automation, wire harnesses require intricate routing, bundling, and securing—tasks that traditionally rely on manual labor. However, with the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), aerospace, industrial automation, and high-tech electronics, the industry is...
