Build Better Electronics Manufacturing Summit

As you stride up the gangplank onto the USS Hornet for Build Better, you immediately recognize that this is not a typical trade event.  We have become quite picky about the events we invest resources into, and this one is special because it draws decision-makers from across the Bay Area to share practical experiences making electronic hardware.

This year we were happy to sponsor the event and show how our Production Line Tool is complimentary to Instrumental's imaging-based systems. Blue Clover's tools are built around physical probing of circuits with cables or spring-loaded test probes while Instrumental employs high-resolution cameras and laser scanners to uncover defects. "Like peanut butter and jelly" is how one executive put it. We had some great conversations with leaders from Google, Meta, Skydio, Tesla, and many more pioneering companies.

It can be hard for busy engineers and executives to get away from their desks to think about the way we do our work. Build Better provides a useful environmental change to facilitate meaningful discussions and fresh thinking. We're already looking forward to next year's event!
