In the fast-paced world of the discrete manufacturing, accelerating processes is a key to success. However, fast processes alone do not automatically ensure quality results. As the famous quote goes, “Garbage in, garbage out”. When you automate a garbage process, all you get is a fast garbage process. Read more

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

Changing standard components in an electrical system is a common task but it entails a number of time-consuming checks that engineers must carry out to avoid trouble. For example, replacing a windscreen wiper motor may seem like a simple task, but what if the new motor is more powerful? Read more

We’ve all heard of PCB design constraints. They’re those little things that limit our ability to create the perfect board in very short periods of time. But what exactly are they? And why do they matter? This blog post elaborates on PCB constraints and why they should drive your design flow. Read more
