Current IssueThe Butterfly Effect
The basis of chaos theory is a key concept known as the “butterfly effect.” It’s the idea that a small event in one place creates a cascading set of events elsewhere. So, how is the EMS landscape changing? We’re tracking the concerns and dynamics of this landscape, and there’s a lot to learn.
Coming to Terms With AI

Trackwise Awarded Prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation
April 24, 2023 | Trackwise Designs PLCEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Trackwise Designs plc, the innovative manufacturer of specialist products using printed circuit technology, is delighted to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. Trackwise has been recognised for its excellence in Innovation for its length-unlimited, multilayer flexible printed circuits.
Founded in 1989, Trackwise has always specialised in large format PCBs (printed circuit boards). Since 2010, Trackwise has developed a patented proprietary and innovative manufacturing process – called Improved Harness Technology™ (IHT) – which enables the company’s globally-unique ability to produce flexible multilayer printed circuits of unlimited length. IHT FPCs deliver significant space and weight savings (up to 75%), as well as increased reliability and repeatability, plus reduced assembly time. IHT FPCs can withstand the harsh environments found in automotive, aerospace and industrial applications, but can also be made small enough to replace microwires in medical applications such as catheters.
“The diversity and ingenuity of applications using our IHT FPCs to drive product innovation is astonishing. Resourceful design engineers have been quick to recognise the significant advantages of IHT FPCs. It’s inspiring to see their visions for future products being realised as they replace conventional bulky wiring harnesses and interconnections with our lightweight, smaller and more reliable flexible printed circuit alternatives to solve their design challenges and deliver reduced assembly time and cost,” said Philip Johnston, CEO at Trackwise.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise was previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, and Trackwise was previously recognised for export success with a Queen’s Award in 2005. The new name reflects His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 57th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country.
