The Future of Automation is Collaborative | Intervala
Modern manufacturing succeeds when technology and human expertise work together For years, the conversation around manufacturing automation centered on one question: how much of the production process can be automated? Today, that conversation is changing. In high-reliability industries like medical devices, aerospace, defense, and industrial electronics, manufacturers face increasing complexity. Component lifecycles are shorter. Supply chains remain unpredictable. Quality expectations […]
Video | Inside Intervala: Conformal Coating
Conformal coating is a critical step in protecting electronics from moisture, dust, and environmental stress — especially in mission-critical applications. In this video, Senior Process Engineer Landon Stobart walks through how Intervala approaches the process with precision and consistency. Landon brings both deep technical expertise and a veteran’s commitment to quality to every step of […]
How Cobots Are Improving Manufacturing Careers | Intervala
When many people think about manufacturing jobs, they still picture repetitive work, heavy lifting, and long hours doing the same task over and over again. Modern manufacturing is changing that picture. At Intervala, we are seeing more companies use collaborative robots, also called cobots, to help create safer, smarter, and more supportive work environments. These technologies are not […]
Video | Inside Intervala: Cobots in Action
This collaborative robot (cobot) system automates a once-manual medical device assembly process, improving speed, precision, and consistency. Designed and integrated in-house by Intervala, the automation cell uses machine vision and robotic assembly technology to produce more than 700 units per day.
Tariffs Changed the Headlines. Nearshore EMS Is Changing the Strategy.
A year ago, near-shoring electronics manufacturing to North America was a strategic ambition. Today, for many OEMs in aerospace and defense, data centers, and industrial markets, it’s an operational necessity—and the window to act is narrowing. Bloomberg recently reported that despite the sweeping tariff policies of 2025—including levies on Chinese imports peaking at 125%—U.S. electronics […]
How Intervala Protects OEMs From Component Obsolescence
For OEMs with long‑lifecycle products in industrial electronics manufacturing, aerospace electronics manufacturing, defense electronics manufacturing, medical device contract manufacturing, and other high‑reliability markets, component obsolescence is a mission‑critical risk. When a key semiconductor or connector suddenly hits End of Life (EOL), production schedules, cost models, and service commitments can unravel without warning. At Intervala, we […]
