OE-A at LOPEC: Printed electronics competition bigger than ever

How can printed electronics be useful for monitoring sleeping babies or to support people who lost their legs? And what role can printed electronics components play in the gaming world? The answers to these exciting questions will be given at LOPEC 2022, the international platform for printed electronics, from 22-24 March live at ICM, Messe München.

This year 23 international companies, research institutions, and universities take part in the “OE-A Competition 2022” to present their new products, prototypes, and concepts. The submitted projects are judged by a jury of representatives from well-known international companies and institutes in three categories: “Prototypes & New Products”; “Freestyle Demonstrator”; and “Publicly Funded Project Demonstrator”. As every year, all submitted products and demonstrators will be presented to the international community at the OE-A booth at LOPEC and online at oe-a.org.

Promising ideas for printed electronics

“We are happy that the competition is growing every year since its start. We received more than 20 submissions from 11 countries. It is a great pleasure to see the number of products for automotive and healthcare which are close to a market growing year by year.” Says Dr. Klaus Hecker, Managing Director of the OE-A, an international working group within VDMA.

Printed electronics for babies and gamers

This year, the expert jury will have to discuss and rate more contributions than ever at the jury meeting in Munich. For a first insight, three examples briefly explained:

A sensing artificial leg, submitted by IEE, helps people feel every step and tackles the problem of phantom pain. Market standard prostheses often lack the capability to recreate sensing of the missing body parts. This prosthesis has a sensing surface facilitated by a sensor foil integrated into a sock that is imposed to the artificial foot. It comes with a readout electronic with a wireless transmitter and an actuator for human feedback. It creates a better control of movements and provides feedback that helps those affected to feel the ground and the sense of touch reduces phantom pains.

The Holst Centre has developed an ultrathin, conformable smart sensor mat that can detect a baby’s breathing rate, heart rate, and posture. The multi-modal sensing mat consists of a combination of printed piezo-resistive and piezoelectric sensors and can be placed under a bedsheet, enabling long-term monitoring of babies in a hospital bed or at home. The non-intrusive device simply disappears into the object in which it is integrated and a variety of applications not only in healthcare is possible: e.g., when used in a car seat, the mat can monitor posture and driver alertness.

The 3 D gaming device handed in by Nuremberg Tech is portable and the user can play “Tic-Tac-Toe” alone or in pairs. The three-dimensional game is designed on an attractive free-form surface and is fully operated through touch functionality. The demonstrator combines the functionality of printed electronics with standard surface-mount technology components on an initially flat flexible dielectric substrate. The direct integration of touch functionality inside the assembly opens up wide fields of application, for example, in automotive applications, for white goods, or for consumer electronics with maximum freedom of design.

Every project is a winner at LOPEC

All visitors are invited to make their choice for the “Public Choice Award” at the OE-A booth at LOPEC (Hall B0, 306), on March 23rd and 24th. “Have a closer look at the broad range of submissions to the OE-A Competition, from concept to product, which illustrates the potential printed electronics offers. And cast your vote to choose which demonstrator deserves the “Public Choice Award”, asks Klaus Hecker.

The winners of all categories will be announced on the evening of Wednesday, March 23^rd during the LOPEC Get-together & Award Show. Additionally, the winner of the “Public Choice Award” as well as the price winners of the other categories will present their demonstrators at a web seminar in April 2022.

Meeting point OE-A booth at LOPEC

LOPEC visitors will get a comprehensive insight into printed electronics applications at the OE-A booth at LOPEC 2022. A visit to the OE-A booth is also worthwhile to learn about the latest edition of the OE-A Roadmap, the results of the new business climate survey, and the activities of the numerous international working groups. “We invite you to visit our booth to look at the demonstrators but also to get an update on OE-A’s latest activities and future events,” says Klaus Hecker.

Repeltec undergoing World Health Organization approved field trials together with the Somalian Malaria program

In the global efforts to combat insect-borne diseases, non-profit organizations and governments have looked towards residual indoor spraying as one of the tools to fight mosquito carried diseases like Malaria, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The approach leaves a thin layer of pesticides on walls inside residential spaces. The big downside to traditional residual indoor sprays is that they are classified as hazardous. Repeltec, a new coating developed by AFFIX Labs, a Finnish technology start-up, aims to be the safest indoor residual spray on the market to repel insects.

Repeltec’s coating creates a clear layer that adheres to a surface and utilizes a controlled release of a spatial repellent that drives insects away from a treated space. In addition, the coating temporarily interferes with the ability of insects to detect and bite people, breaking the infection cycle.

The active ingredient used by AFFIX Labs is commonly found in skin lotions and has the lowest toxicity ratings as classified by the World Health Organization (WHO). Once released, the active ingredient is biodegradable, minimizing a long-term risk to the local environment. The environmentally conscious solution drives insects away from treated spaces without killing them, meaning it avoids adversely affecting ecosystems including bee colonies.

After lab studies in Germany, France, and South Africa, Repeltec is currently undergoing field trials executed by the Somalian government malaria program, combating the disease without damaging the environment.

Field trials for this potentially game-changing coating, designed and supported by the WHO and the Somalian government’s malaria program, are now underway to prove the efficacy of Repeltec in real-world settings. 20 locations have been treated and are being actively monitored for mosquito count, species detected, feeding behavior. The goal of these trials is to show that Repeltec can replace traditional solutions.

“We are seeing promising results and receiving great community feedback. Where people have been reluctant to allow pesticides to be sprayed in their houses, a friendlier solution like Repeltec is the future of a sustainable fight against Malaria.” States Dr.Abdikarim Husein Hassan, head of the Somalian Malaria program in Puntland.

According to the WHO: “Somalia has a high burden of malaria, and between 2000 and 2019, an estimated 759 000 cases and 1942 deaths from malaria have occurred. Various control efforts undertaken by the Government with the support of WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and funded by the Global Fund have resulted in the reduction of incidence from 2.6 cases per 1000 population in 2014 to 1.8 per 1000 population in 2020, showing a 25% reduction.” These results show the effectiveness of the malaria program itself.

After successful trials, AFFIX Labs is ready to roll out Repeltec coatings for non-profit organizations and commercial partners in Somalia and other regions replacing toxic residual spraying programs with the friendlier Repeltec solution.

“We started the company with the aim to replace toxic products with future-proof solutions. These field trials are the result of years of hard work and we are grateful for the support given by the Somalian ministry of health and the Somalian Malaria program,” says AFFIX Labs CEO, Tom Sam.

Guardian Glass introduces ClimaGuard Neutral 1.0: developed to meet the new Part L UK Building Regulations for windows in new and existing residential builds

Developed specifically to meet the new UK Building Regulations Part L for windows in new and existing residential builds, Guardian Glass has introduced Guardian ClimaGuard Neutral 1.0, a thermal insulating coated glass for double-glazed windows that has an Ug-value of 1.0 W/m2K and offers improved aesthetics with a more neutral color and a lower reflection compared to other 1.0 U-value glass products for residential windows.

ClimaGuard Neutral 1.0 is a single product solution that can be used in its annealed form or can be heat treated for use in safety applications. This means glass processors do not need to stock two different glass products (a heat treatable version and an annealed version) to meet the demand from window makers.

Changes to the UK Building Regulations were published in December 2021 and will come into force on 15th June 2022. One of the five new Approved Documents, Part L (‘Conservation of Fuel and Power’), introduces new minimum efficiency standards for both new and replacement thermal elements, windows, and doors. New build schemes will be assessed under the new SAP 10 (Standard Assessment Procedure) method.

From June this year, it will be mandatory for all new windows including roof windows and glazed doors, to achieve an improved maximum U-value of 1.6 W/m2K compared to 2.0 W/m2K previously. Taking into account the complete window system (frame, sealant, spacer bar, etc.), this means the notional U-value target for windows in new dwellings is now 1.2 W/m2K. This means that window makers and glass processors will now require a glass product with an Ug-value of 1.0 W/m2K to meet these new regulations.

Gary Frakes, Regional Sales Manager UK & Ireland at Guardian Glass comments: “In order to achieve an Ug-value of 1.0, Guardian Glass has taken a very different approach, believing that the glass should help bring as much natural daylight as possible into people’s homes, with a clearer, less reflective view. Thanks to Guardian knowledge in coated glass innovation ClimaGuard Neutral 1.0 is more colour-neutral with a lower reflection”.

ClimaGuard Neutral 1.0 achieves 74% light transmission for a double IGU 4-16-4 panel (coating on surface 3, 90% argon fill), 14% light reflection, and a solar factor of 52%. The product is available on Guardian ExtraClear float glass as standard, on Guardian ExtraClear laminated glass, and on Guardian UltraClear low-iron float glass, offering better colour neutrality and higher transparency for even more natural views of the outside.

Mondi & Henkel partner to launch fully recyclable mono-material refill pouch for Pril

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, and Henkel are helping consumers to wash dishes more sustainably by creating a completely new reuse packaging concept. The two companies worked together on a packaging solution for Henkel’s hand dishwashing products that allows refilling plastic bottles from flexible pouches. This supports Henkel’s sustainability targets of making 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable and reducing 50% of fossil-based virgin plastic by 2025.

Since January, consumers can purchase a new keep-at-home refillable pump dispenser with refills in the lightweight, mono-material pouch produced by Mondi. The flexible stand-up pouch reduces plastic by 70% every time it replaces rigid plastic bottles and is easy to recycle where existing infrastructure exists.

Convenient and lighter to carry home, the pouch completely empties thanks to its shaped design, leaving no residue. It is soft touch with a sturdy base so it can easily stand in-store, offering retailers attractive and eye-catching on-shelf appeal while also communicating all the brand information including sustainability benefits. Mondi’s leak-proof pouch is certified according to ISTA 6, providing highly durable packaging for both in-store and online shopping.

Muriel Joncheray, Global Key Account Manager Consumer Flexibles, Mondi says: “Sustainability is a vital element in the home care industry and a trend that is shaping the whole market – and rightly so. At Mondi, we have defined sustainability goals that focus on circular-driven solutions in our MAP2030 action plan. This includes a target to make 100% of our products reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025 – just like the recyclable pouch for Henkel.

Our EcoSolutions approach meant that we worked very closely with the Henkel team to create the new packaging. While the aim was to provide a solution that helped Henkel reach its sustainability targets, we also needed to ensure the materials and structure would protect the product in transit and on-shelf, preventing leakage and minimizing waste.”

Carsten Bertram, Head of Global Packaging Innovation Dishwashing at Henkel added: “At Henkel, we recognize our responsibility related to packaging. We’re committed to driving sustainable packaging and have a set of ambitious targets.

Our strategy is based around circular economy and focuses on integrating recycled plastics, reducing the amount of plastic packaging, having reusable packaging, and using fully recyclable packaging concepts to close the loop. Mondi was the obvious partner to help us with their expertise in creating the best possible solutions – for the product, the planet, and the customer.”

The new packaging concept is being launched for Henkel’s brand Pril in Germany. It has been certified by “Blauer Engel”, the independent ecolabel of the German Federal Government that sets stringent standards for environmentally responsible products and services.

GE Aviation invests in five M Line metal additive production systems

GE Aviation is acquiring five GE Additive Concept Laser M Line systems. The first four M Line systems will be installed at GE Aviation’s Additive Technology Center (ATC) in West Chester, Ohio in 2022. A fifth M Line system will be installed at Avio Aero’s Turin site in Italy to support the serial production of additive components for the GE Catalyst turboprop engine during 2022.

Customer-Centric Innovation

Throughout the M Line’s three-year maturation phase, GE Additive teams have worked collaboratively with GE Aviation and a small cohort of other aerospace and medical sector customers who are already in serial additive production, to rigorously beta test the M Line system.

Always with a focus on delivering the highest specification, this phase has resulted in more than 300 design improvements with additional safety and software features incorporated into the system, as customers’ needs and requirements have changed in response to the more rigorous demands of customers aiming to move into additive serial production.

Continuous improvement and input from GE Aviation informed the most critical and fundamental change to the system – an increase to the building envelope by 54% to 500mm x 500mm x 400 mm – to enable GE Aviation’s progression to the serial production of larger additive parts.

Over the past 18 months, attention has shifted to materials development for aerospace applications with some of the highest requirements in the industry for part quality in terms of material properties, as well as build-to-build and machine-to-machine stability.

GE Additive and GE Aviation ATC teams have partnered to accelerate locking down the materials parameters for aluminum, cobalt-chrome, and nickel alloy 718.

“The time and work we have collectively invested with our GE Additive colleagues to define, shape, and then iron out the specification and functionality of the M Line mean we now have a scalable solution that can build large components in a high-volume production environment while meeting our cost entitlement goals,” said Chris Philp, site leader for GE Aviation’s ATC.

The Future of High-Rate Additive Production

Once installed at the GE Aviation ATC, two M Line systems will be dedicated to aluminum alloy, and one each of the two other systems to cobalt chrome and nickel alloy 718, adding additional manufacturing capacity to GE Aviation’s existing additive infrastructure in its state-of-the-art development facility.

“Our goal is to realize the aviation additive industry’s first automation-ready production environment,” said Benito Trevino, general manager – additive integrated product team at GE Aviation. “Once installed, we envisage that our multi-machine approach, with the M Line platform at the heart of the production, will help us reduce our lead and print times by over 50%.”

“At GE Aviation, we are continually developing more additive content for new engines, and the size and complexity of the parts increases with every generation of products developed,” said Chris Philp. “With the M Line, we get the full capability we need to develop intricate additive geometries on large structural components.”

Delivering quality parts, at cost, at scale

The M Line is a highly-advanced, industrialized production system that is suited to experienced metal additive users who have started to scale production volumes. Its stitching capability enables customers with large part size demand to increase productivity and reduce costs for additive production.

The M Line offers a new type of machine architecture that delivers an exceptional level of modularity, innovation, and automation (automation future release) that enables economical series production on an industrial scale. The system delivers this by decoupling the machine units used for part production and for set-up and dismantling processes. These tasks can now be carried out in parallel and physically separated from one another meeting high environmental, health and safety standards. Machine downtime due to maintenance processes such as supplying or exhausting metal powder is reduced to a minimum, delivering considerable time and cost savings for users in serial production.

The M Line’s flexible architecture also reduces costs as production grows. Users have the ability to independently add Laser Process Stations (LPS) or Material Handling Stations (MHS) based on capacity needs. Users can also experience significant cost benefits as numerous LPS units can be served by a single MHS, which substantiates serial part production volumes and lowers footprint and investment.

Leveraging GE Additive’s extensive materials and parameters portfolio enables the existing customers to lower development costs for customers by transferring machine parameters from the Concept Laser M2 Series 5 to the M Line with minimal engineering effort.

“By fully embracing the versatility of Lean and the spirit of continuous improvement we have evolved the M Line over recent years to be ready for real-world, serial additive production. Our focus is on offering industrial solutions that deliver quality parts, at cost and at scale,” said Jan Siebert, general manager – machines & equipment at GE Additive.
