In the wake of last year's global upheaval driven by shifts in U.S. tariff policy, we have been inspired by the remarkable resilience of the global electronics supply chain. Navigating these regulatory changes required significant agility, but as the dust settles, the focus for 2026 is shifting from adaptation to profound innovation—specifically through the maturation of Artificial Intelligence.
At ScanCAD International we anticipate that 2026 will be an incredible year of growth. We are planning significant improvements to our circuit board reverse engineering and inspection processes, driven by a philosophy of human-centric AI.
Rather than seeking to replace the operator, we are implementing AI models specifically designed to enable our employees and augment their expertise. By equipping our team with intelligent tools that handle repetitive tasks, we free them to focus on complex problem-solving and quality assurance. We believe this synthesis of human ingenuity and AI-driven precision is the future of electronics inspection, and we are excited to see the outlook for 2026 unfold.
