The MOM/MES Edge: The MES Performance Kick
Manufacturers are increasingly being pushed to implement manufacturing execution systems (MES) in order to optimize their operations. Statistics illustrate both how Best-in-Class organizations successfully deploy such systems as well as how they reap the benefits of doing so. Key observations include: The pressure to implement MES is predominantly driven by cost, quality, and the need to comply with regulations, respectively. Best-In-Class

10 Symptoms of a Bad PDN
At face value, DC power integrity seems to be a simple enough topic -- you just need to make sure that every component on your PCB has the power (current and voltage) it needs when it needs it. But that’s just on the surface. WHAT IS POWER INTEGRITY? The new reality is a bit more complicated. When you start to work with fine-pitch device packages, the manufacturing constraints and power requirements of said devices are almost completely at odds

The Benefit of Simulation-Driven Design
Deploying simulations earlier in the design process rather than later results in more innovative, high-quality products while also reducing production costs. The findings presented suggest that simulation-driven design allows Best-In-Class designers and firms to more effectively deliver the product to the consumer. Key highlights of their research include: In 2016, 87% of Best-in-Class organizations used simulation, up from 75% in 2014. Best-in

Pervasive Engineering Simulation: The Pulse of the Healthcare Industry
Pervasive engineering simulation and consolidated engineering simulation platforms accelerate more innovative healthcare and render more effective, high-quality designs. By focusing specifically on the healthcare industry, it is demonstrated how simulation-driven design reduces costs and increases the ability of engineers to successfully meet product targets such as quality and launch date. Key findings include: 69% of platform-based simulation

Virtual Prototyping Versus Traditional Product Development Methods
Best-in-Class companies who utilize simulation and virtual prototyping are notably outperforming their peers who continue to use more traditional methods of product development. By discussing the three primary methods used to predict product performance (physical prototyping, manual calculation, and virtual prototyping software) this article demonstrates how simulation software is the superior choice for successfully addressing the increasingly

Pervasive Simulation Accelerates Innovations in High-Tech
High-tech firms increasingly need to utilize pervasive engineering simulation and a consolidated engineering simulation platform in order to stay competitive in an ever-expanding market. By incorporating both of these components into the design process, Best-In-Class firms are able to more successfully fulfill their targets. Key findings include: High-tech companies are investing in a broad portfolio of engineering simulation tools. High-tech

IoT Resource Bundle
From the early days of printed circuit boards, the electronics industry has made huge strides in board materials, copper printing methods, miniaturization, rigid-flex, ELIC, EDA, and much more. Many of the devices we use in our homes, our vehicles, and in our workplaces would not be possible without this continuous evolution of PCB design and technology. The scope of creativity from individuals is unbounded. While the infrastructure for IoT can

PCB Editor View Modes
PCB editor view modes allow designers to locate and correct errors in particular areas of the board. Altium Designer features multiple ways to view your design, allowing you to be most efficient and to help avoid errors. These different PCB editor view modes have allowed users to find and fix design problems, such as why a flex board does not fold, why components are on the wrong layers, and why dead copper is not being shown anywhere on the board

Why Simulation Is Critical to Success in Developing Autonomous Systems
Simulation-driven design is essential to ensuring that autonomous systems will operate without error once in the hands of consumers. By illustrating how Best-in-Class firms are implementing simulations throughout the design and testing process and discussing this in terms of autonomous systems such as vehicles, drones, and robots, these findings underscore the necessity of simulations in this innovative new field. Key findings include: The

Automated HSE: An Essential Requirement for Proactive Safety Management
Automated safety management solutions not only reduce risk in the workplace, but also make it easier for firms of all sizes to meet their Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) reporting requirements. Using the practices of Best-in-Class firms as an example, these findings illustrate how use of automated incident and inspection management tools can similarly help small and medium businesses (SMBs). Key findings include: Ensuring full compliance

Conquering Your Design Demands with USB Type-C
The last thing you want is getting your power demands balance wrong on your electronic design. Too little voltage and your device starves; too much voltage and you’re left with smoke signals for help as caps pop like the Fourth of July. Not to mention that the complications you run into when your device has varying voltage requirements when operating in different states. The increased usage of embedded sensors has made constant data acquisition
