HMIs allow users to monitor, control, interact and manipulate various machine actions. With the rapid advancement of technology, HMIs have made it easier to access information, monitor processes and control equipment and appliances. Effective HMIs are intuitive for ease of use and have become part of modern life across market sectors, from automotive and aerospace, to healthcare, banking and beyond.
At In2tec, working with our customers we help solve the biggest challenges in their HMI projects, addressing:
- Style and aesthetics
- Functionality and use of real estate
- Space and packaging optimisation
- Weight reduction
We have over 25 years of experience being at the forefront of HMI and Sustainable Electronics innovation. We have continuously invested in our Flexi-hibrid™ technologies which underpin our capabilities to overcome packaging hurdles and provide innovative HMI solutions that meet the requirements of our customers.
We deliver products that seamlessly integrate cutting-edge circuitry with complex functionality. With the seamless integration of electronics, sensors, illumination, and interfaces across surfaces.
In2tec's decades-long commitment to developing Flexi-hibrid™ electronics technologies has unlocked the potential for previously deemed impossible products and enabled our customers to create exciting new applications across various sectors. Our advanced solutions come in Dynamic, Contoured and Rigidised Flexi-hibrid™ forms. We understand the benefits of flexible electronics, and that flexibility varies across applications, from bending and rolling, to conforming to irregular shapes, through to folding, twisting, and stretching—all while maintaining device performance.
The right electronics open new opportunities around HMI design, functionality and style while putting you at the forefront of innovation and user experience. At In2tec, we remain passionate and committed to delivering quality systems that benefit the application providing the optimum user experience. Providing lightweight, ultra-thin and flexible circuit assemblies allows us to streamline your design and remove excess material.
Not only enabling technological progress, we believe electronics innovation has a significant part to play in the planet’s sustainability challenges; crucially with the reuse of precious finite resources as continued use and wastage of key resources used in the production of electronics is not sustainable, their overuse will result in increased costs and ultimately, they will be depleted.
Global e-waste is rising, with the importance of reusing materials documented in the ‘Global ‘Ewaste Monitor 2024’ (UNITAR), it reported a record 62 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced in 2022 and is forecast to rise to 82 million tonnes by 2030. Billions of dollars’ worth of strategically valuable resources being squandered or dumped. Meanwhile, just 22.3% of the year’s e-waste mass was documented as properly collected and recycled in 2022. These extraordinary figures are not sustainable.
At In2tec we are bringing full circularity to the electronics industry and minimising the use of new raw materials and minerals that are rapidly running out.
In2tec’s solution, an unzippable PCBA that allows the electronic components to be removed and reused in other technologies. This high-tech solution uses the same manufacturing principles that have underpinned In2tec’s Smart HMI technologies for over 25 years. Using proprietary electronics design and manufacturing techniques, along with patented conductive adhesives, inter-layer adhesives, printed inks and dielectrics, In2tec delivers printed circuit board assemblies with full recyclability, allowing for the components to re-enter the supply chain as a valuable asset.
In2tec’s signature ReUSE® and ReCYCLE™ technology, comprised of a closed-loop process, allows manufacturers and recyclers to remove components from existing electronics, unstressed and undamaged, at the end of their useful life and reuse them.
‘ReUSE® is a series of materials, processes and design principles used to manufacture PCBAs, while ReCYCLE™ is the ultra-low energy process for unzipping PCBAs, returning them to the original bill of materials.’
These processes bring circularity to electronics, with components used for their lifespan, not sent to landfill, or incinerated, and enabling future generations to innovate, to develop technology to improve and save lives, as well as for travel or entertainment, and more.
Helping you accomplish your technology goals
Driven by the belief that "nothing is impossible," our design philosophy thrives on merging disparate and conflicting design requirements. This approach enables us to provide you systems and solutions that enhance efficiency, functionality, and ergonomic design, breaking down design barriers to solve even the most challenging problems. Circularity and Sustainability are at our core. With our unwavering commitment to sustainable electronics, let us show you the patented technology and processes that bring circularity to electronics
