The arrangement of the various layers in a multilayer PCB, commonly referred to as layer stack-up, and careful attention to the electrical impedance of the tracks are crucial factors for achieving robust high-speed board designs. Poor choices in either area can lead to significant performance issues, such as signal loss, electromagnetic interference issues (EMI), and ultimately delays and higher costs due to comprehensive re-design.

With the transition from fossil energy to electricity, power storage and transfer is one of the critical issues: batteries have a limited capacity and are very heavy, and the good old wire is not really suitable for mobile applications. Wouldn’t it be a great idea to transfer electrical power in a wireless way, in the same way as we are already charging mobile phones on a charging pad without having to connect a cable? Read more

For more than a century, the combustion engine was the undisputed technology for automotive transport. It was not until the early 1970s, when supply shortages in the wake of the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East brought the traffic on European roads to a standstill at least for a few Sundays, kicking off a price spiral that continues to this day, and making it clear that things could not go on like this forever.

Every manufacturer faces a fundamental decision—whether to make or buy subsystems for an assembled product, such as a vehicle, a production machine, or a consumer product. In the context of lean manufacturing in general, and in within wire harness manufacturing in particular, the preference often leans towards “buying” an assembled wire harness from a specialist supplier. These experts possess the knowledge to select suitable components and have the  equipment necessary to manufacture and assemble subsystems, ranging from wire bundles and wire harnesses to connector plugs.

Today’s smart and connected products require the interaction of different components and systems. They are therefore often described as “Systems of Systems” (SoS). Engineers develop their elements in different engineering disciplines and departments. These disciplines speak different engineering languages and require unique views of the same product. As a result, many versions – tailored to the specific process needs of each role on the relevant product data – are created during a product’s lifecycle. The problem with that is: they are blurring the traceability of the engineer’s tracks along the way. The storage of the many different versions in their respective department naturally leads to disconnected silos in terms of processes and data. The good news is digital continuity as per definition is here to overcome this disconnection. Read more
