In today’s world, speed, flexibility, and innovation are not just nice-to-haves—they’re a must. For a Product Manager, who needs to oversee the full lifecycle—from idea to end-of-life—printed electronics (PE) is a new tool with huge potential. 

PE is not just future tech—it’s a real answer to modern product challenges: faster prototyping, more personalization, and new ways to create value. In a world where roadmaps change every sprint and backlog depends on live market data, PE lets you test and deliver in an agile way. 

In this episode we explain how PE fits into product lifecycle management, what opportunities and risks it brings, and how it connects to tools like Jira, Miro, or Figma. If you’re planning your product from MVP to scale-up, you’re in the right place.

Meet Andrew. He used to paint houses, work in a flower shop, and fix tires. One day he said “enough” and followed his childhood dream—he became a train driver. It’s a serious job that takes years of training and full focus. A train is not like a car—you don’t turn it left. He has to monitor many things: voltage, pressure, load. The panel he uses to check these values was made in Warsaw, Poland—by the team at LC Elektronik, using printed electronics. Thanks to this tech, the device is thin, light, strong, and works even during a cold winter night with printed pressure sensors on a freight train. 

In this episode you can meet: 

• Why add printed electronics to products? 
• Printing methods are ready for mass use 
• Why printed electronics are a smart move for leaders 
• Explore new markets with PE

Imagine you are a project manager at an automotive company. You have six weeks to build a prototype of a new touch interface. The client wants it to be modern, lightweight, backlit, and functional even when wearing gloves. Standard technology requires excessive plastic, complex assembly, and takes too long. You need a more flexible solution. This is where printed electronics can help. 

In this episode we meet key question: 

• When should you consider printed plectronics? 

• What are key steps to implementation: from idea to production 

• How to Pick the Right Partner? 

• What are Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them 

• Meet also case study: touch panel for automotive

In 1998, when the world was excited about the first mobile phones with colour screens, scientists from European universities were working on something else. Their goal was not to make a smaller phone, but to create circuits that could bend, roll, or be attached to fabric. Today, after over 20 years of research, flexible electronics are no longer just science experiments. They are becoming a key part of wearable, medical, and interactive products.

Imagine the CEO of a tech company reading a quarterly report. He sees that more clients are asking for ESG-compliant components. His purchasing department suggests something new: carbon-based conductive inks and biodegradable films instead of standard FR4 laminate. The decision is not easy. There is market pressure on one side, and cost and technology risks on the other. This is a real challenge for many leaders in the electronics industry. 

In this epidode you can find:

• New Materials: What Is Useful for Future Electronics? 

• List of materials already used today

• New Materials, TCO, and ESG 

• When Are These Materials a Good Idea—and When Not?

Buying decisions in the electronics industry involves more than checking unit prices. In production companies, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is what really matters. It includes all costs related to using a component—from buying and logistics to its effect on the production line and risks of delays.

Indicators like COGS (Cost of Goods Sold), ROI (Return on Investment), or DPP (Days Payable Outstanding) help with planning, but they don’t show hidden costs that can affect the final profit. 

Many buyers focus only on direct costs – the price of the part. However, indirect costs – like logistics, production losses, storage, or waste disposal – can raise total costs by 30–50%. In this article, we look at how printed electronics can help save money compared to traditional PCBs, and where the real savings are. 

In this episode you can find: 

• Traditional PCBs – hidden costs often ignored in budgets 

• Traditional PCBs – hidden costs that can hurt your budget 

• Printed Electronics – lower operating costs and more flexibility 

• TCO Analysis: PCB vs. printed electronics 

• What will affect TCO in the future?
