MRSI’s latest article in Laser Focus World’s August Issue Challenges for photonics manufacturing in the new data center era, discusses the high volume and high mix nature of photonics manufacturing, which requires flexible, high speed, and high precision automation to enable just-in-time supply and fast pace innovations of critical components to hyper-scale data centers.

These generational changes facing the photonics manufacturing industry have created significant challenges and opportunities. The article explains these in some detail and outlines new solutions that have emerged. A brief abstract is reproduced below:

The high-volume and high-mix nature of manufacturing for hyperscale data centers requires flexible, high speed, and high precision automation to enable just-in-time supply and fast innovations of critical photonics components.

The data generated by the exponential growth rate of Internet traffic is enormous and data centers are crucial to support the resulting data communications, storage, and processing needs through cloud computing. Photonic devices play vital roles in these data centers, and this has posed significant challenges to photonics high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
