ENNOVI Integrates Advanced Functionality with Innovative Busbar Sealing Technology in EV and Hybrid Drivetrains

ENNOVI-SealTech: Patent-pending busbar sealing prevents coolant leaks, offering manufacturing efficiency and design flexibility over traditional methods.

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ENNOVI, a mobility electrification solutions partner, introduces a new technology for sealing busbars, which prevents coolant leakage in hybrid and electric vehicle (xEV) drivetrain applications. ENNOVI-SealTech can be used with either busbars or other interconnects to accommodate applications such as motors, inverters or oil pump interfaces.

ENNOVI-SealTech: Patent-pending busbar sealing prevents coolant leaks, offering manufacturing efficiency and design flexibility over traditional methods.
ENNOVI-SealTech: Patent-pending busbar sealing prevents coolant leaks, offering manufacturing efficiency and design flexibility over traditional methods.

“Managing busbar interfaces in EVs where coolant is present on one side and a dry, electrically robust connection is required on the other side, presents several challenges,” explains Dominik Pawlik, Product Portfolio Director for Power Interconnects at ENNOVI. “Conventional sealing methods, such as potting or using rubber O-rings or gaskets, incur the high cost and time for secondary processes and/or issues with leakage over the lifetime of the assembly – ENNOVI-SealTech overcomes all these limitations.”

ENNOVI-SealTech offers two sealing methods: double-walled shrink tubes or adhesive tape for challenging applications. Both eliminate post-processing, enhancing manufacturing efficiency and design flexibility without sacrificing sealing performance.

ENNOVI-SealTech technology is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure it meets the specific requirements of each design. Every configuration is validated through a comprehensive testing process, including thermal aging at 150°C for 1,000 hours, and thermal shock cycling from -40°C to +150°C for 600 cycles (15 minutes per cycle), in accordance with the EN 60068-2 standard. A leak test is also performed to verify sealing integrity.

The use of shrink tubing or tape allows ENNOVI-SealTech to adapt to virtually any busbar shape and design specification. Moreover, the technology is compatible with a wide range of metals and plastics, including copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), PA66, PBT, PC, and others.

ERS electronic Opens Demonstration Center in Zhubei to Meet Growing Demand for Panel-Level Packaging in Taiwan

ZHUBEI, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ERS electronic, the industry leader of thermal management solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, is excited to announce the opening of its latest demonstration center in Zhubei, Taiwan. This new facility will offer chipmakers and OSATs in Taiwan direct access to ERS’s PhotoThermal debonding machine for wafers and panels, LUM600S1, a strategic move to meet the growing demand for panel-level packaging (PLP) technologies in the region.

Panel-level packaging is rapidly gaining traction in the semiconductor industry due to its cost advantages and process scalability. Dr. Yik Yee Tan, Technology & Market Principal Analyst at Yole Group, predicts that the market will grow from $160 million in 2024 to over $600 million by 2030, driven by cost-efficient solutions in advanced packaging. By 2030, high-density fan-out technology, propelled by Generative AI, is expected to dominate the market, capturing more than 50% of the market share(1). In Chiplet and Heterogeneous Integration demand for larger form factor is driving the growth of PLP in the coming years to meet higher density requirement. For large package size of ~5.5x reticle size limit, PLP can boost carrier area efficiency by more than 80%, compared to just 45% with Wafer Level Packaging (WLP).

In addition to wafer solutions, ERS was among the first to bring PLP equipment to the market, introducing a panel-level debonder in 2018. Today, ERS offers a wide portfolio of semi- and fully-automatic systems, including PhotoThermal debonding machines enabling temporary bonding and debonding (TBDB) processes essential for handling ultra-thin substrates, which is critical for HPC and AI applications, like CoWoS and HBM.

 “With LUM600S1, we are providing a high-yield solution tailored for high-volume manufacturing of complex AI chips. Our Taiwanese customers can now experience firsthand how PhotoThermal Debonding enhances efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness,” says Sébastien Perino, Managing Director of ERS Taiwan.

For more information about the Zhubei demonstration center and LUM600S1’s availability for testing and demonstration, please visit ERS’s website to get in contact with regional sales representatives.

About ERS:

ERS electronic GmbH, based in the Munich suburb of Germering, has been providing innovative thermal management solutions to the semiconductor industry for more than 50 years. The company has gained an outstanding reputation, notably with its fast and accurate air cooling-based thermal chuck systems for wafer probing. In 2008, ERS extended its expertise to the Advanced Packaging market. Today, their fully automatic and manual debonding and warpage adjust systems can be found on the production floors of most semiconductor manufacturers and OSATs worldwide.

Kubix and D3 Labs Announce Strategic Collaboration to Explore Global Access for Thai Investment Tokens

BANGKOK, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kubix Digital Asset, Thailand’s leading ICO portal under the Orbix Holdings, has entered into a strategic collaboration with D3 Labs, a leading Web3 infrastructure provider in Asia. The collaboration was officially announced at Money 20/20 Asia in Bangkok. This partnership aims to create a bridge between Thai digital token projects and global investors, focusing on cross-border accessibility, regulatory readiness, and technological scalability.

As Thailand’s digital token ecosystem continues to evolve with growing regulatory clarity and market maturity, Kubix and D3 Labs share a common vision: to unlock the full potential of tokenized fundraising, expand access to a wider variety of real-world asset investments for Web3 investors, and elevate Thai digital token products to the global stage.

Kubix: Bridging Thai Digital Tokens to the World

Kubix has played a pioneering role in Thailand’s digital asset ecosystem. With strong regulatory foundations now in place, Kubix is entering a new chapter: enabling Thai issuers to expand globally.

  • Cross-Border Pathways: The partnership with D3 Labs enables Thai issuers to access a broader investor base through compliant, borderless infrastructure.
  • Diverse Deal Expansion: Future-ready projects—such as alternative investments, innovation-based ventures, and commodity-linked tokens—are central to Kubix’s roadmap.
  • Regulatory Tailwinds: The recent revision by the SEC to Thailand’s digital asset criteria—allowing USDC and USDT to be used in ICO transactions and trading—highlights the country’s regulatory openness and strengthens the global viability of Thai-issued digital assets.

“We’re seeing growing demand from Thai issuers to scale beyond the local market,” said Partomchai Tangnoi, Managing Director of Kubix. “This partnership with D3 Labs is a key step toward building global bridges for our ecosystem and creating real impact for issuers and investors.”

D3 Labs: Unlocking Scalable Infrastructure for Cross-Border Tokenization

D3 Labs is building the foundational Web3 infrastructure that enables asset tokenization at scale, with compliance and interoperability at its core. As the Southeast Asian region advances its regulatory frameworks, D3 Labs is committed to empowering forward-thinking platforms like Kubix through enterprise-grade, cross-border, blockchain-agnostic, and regulator-aligned solutions.

The collaboration with Kubix reflects D3 Labs’ vision of unlocking the full potential of tokenized capital markets across Asia, starting with Thailand’s rapidly maturing ecosystem and expanding to new global investor bases.

Lai Chung Ying, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of D3 Labs, added, “This partnership with Kubix is not just a technical integration—it’s a strategic alignment of values. Together, we’re laying the infrastructure for compliant, borderless fundraising and helping to redefine how investment products can be accessed and distributed in the Web3 economy.”

Driving the Future of Global Tokenization

The collaboration marks a significant step toward making Thai digital tokens accessible beyond domestic borders. Combining Kubix’s leadership in approved and regulated ICO portals with D3 Labs’ global Web3 infrastructure, both parties share a common goal: to open new doors for cross-border fundraising, unlock fresh opportunities for investors, and drive the growth of the asset tokenization market in Southeast Asia and beyond.
