Mitigating Board Complexity with System-level Engineering
Demand for faster data speeds is increasing. Boards are becoming more dense. Requirements call for the latest protocols and devices. Packaging constraints call for multi-board and flex-board systems. The surest sign of escalating board complexity lies in the fact that few are designed by a single engineer. Today, most require the coordination of many engineers instead. And overall, this trend shows no sign of abating. Board complexity looks like it will only get worse...

Additive Manufacturing Helps Build Lower Cost Replacement Parts and Tools
It has often been noted that many of the aircraft and other weapons systems used by the armed forces are older than the service men and women operating and maintaining them. While the average age of a U.S. domestic commercial airliner is 11 years, it is not uncommon for aircraft to still be in service at 30 years. Likewise, there are many machines and systems in electric power generation, discrete parts manufacturing, chemical process, oil and gas production and many other industries that have been in continuous operation for several decades or longer.

Modular Board Design: A Platform Approach to Increase Product Variants and Decrease Components
It sounds like a paradox: electronics manufacturers can increase variation within a product line while using fewer electronic components. Reuse keeps product costs low, increases product flexibility and customization. Far from paradoxical, the approach is quite doable today through a process called modular board design coupled with predictive analysis numbers returned by the Internet of Things.

Improve Design Data Security Across Your Enterprise
This is one pretty scary world we live in. Every day there are stories about data breaches, network hacks and even possible spying by foreign software and hardware suppliers. Every individual has become hyper-aware of the security issues revolving around their personal data. A company’s need to protect its design IP is actually more critical than an individual’s need to protect their personal data.

3D Printing for Electronic and Electrical Systems
If you’ve tracked some of the hot topics in engineering over the last year, you’re likely very aware of 3D printing or additive manufacturing. This method lays down successive layers of plastic or metallic material that then fuses them together. Over time, those successive layers add up to make fully formed components...

If you can’t scale the chip, you should scale something else
Do you know what a »Yogi-ism« is? Yogi-ism goes back to the name of the late Yogi Berra (1925 – 2015), an American professional baseball catcher, who was an 18-time All-Star and won 10 World Series championships – more than any other player in MLB history. After his career as a player, he turned to coaching, where he became famous for his “impromptu pithy comments, malapropisms, and seemingly unintentional witticisms, known as Yogi-isms”

Singing from the Same Page
In the race to industry 4.0 consistent data is vital for successful digitalization. One of the biggest threats are data silos. Data silos describe the storage of data that remains under the control of one department. Therefore it is typically isolated from the rest of the organization or lives on network folders that have no access control, read-and-write or version control.
