Improving Reliability and EMI Resistance of Custom Multilayer PCBs in Industrial Automation

In the rapidly evolving world of industrial automation, electronic systems are expected to deliver flawless performance in demanding environments — including exposure to electrical noise, mechanical vibration, high power loads, and temperature fluctuations. Custom multilayer PCBs play a pivotal role in ensuring that control systems, sensors, and actuators operate with precision and stability.

But how do you design these PCBs to withstand industrial challenges? The answer lies in engineering for reliability and EMI resistance from the start.

Why Reliability and EMI Resistance Matter in Industrial Electronics

From programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to industrial IoT gateways and robotic systems, industrial devices are often deployed in harsh settings. Without proper PCB design:

• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can distort signal accuracy
• Voltage fluctuations can cause component failure
• Mechanical stress can lead to solder joint fatigue or trace fractures
• Overheating may shorten the product's operational life

To avoid these issues, PCB engineers must optimize layout, material selection, grounding, and shielding — all of which are supported by custom multilayer PCB manufacturing.

Key Design Techniques for Enhancing Industrial PCB Durability

At Ring PCB, we work with global clients to apply proven techniques that improve PCB reliability in automation settings:

1. Optimized Layer Stack-Up
   Proper layer planning separates signal, power, and ground layers, improving EMI shielding and signal routing.
2. Grounding and Shielding Strategies
   Dedicated ground planes and EMI shields reduce signal interference, especially important for high-speed digital or mixed-signal circuits.
3. Heavy Copper Layers
   Essential for managing high currents and avoiding heat buildup in power sections.
4. Reinforced Solder Pads and Vias
   Critical for vibration-prone environments like industrial motors and automated machinery.
5. Thermal Management
   Use of thermal vias, heat sinks, and high-Tg materials ensures heat dissipation for long-term operation.
6. Conformal Coating Compatibility
   Many industrial customers request coatings for moisture, dust, and chemical resistance — which we accommodate during fabrication.
