Beyond Roads and Waves: Technomap’s Mission to Redefine Mobility
At ZIW 2025 in Paris, we caught up with Christophe Vergneault, CEO at Technomap and an industry leader shaping the future of mobility. Founded in 1994 out of a passion for motorsport, Technomap first entered electrical architecture development in 2000. By 2018, the company had pivoted fully to mobility architectures, spanning everything from cars and boats…
High‑Speed Serial Link Design: The TWO Things That Make Links Work (and Fail)
In this talk, Donald Telian explains that the very two things that make links work are also the things that make them fail – when they’re not done right. High-speed links work electrically when you:
1) Deliver ~10 mV accuracy from the transmitter (Tx) to the receiver (Rx)
2) Properly equalize at the system levelThis…

Winning Races with Systems Thinking — How MBSE Helps Manage Technical Complexity in Formula 1
In Formula 1 folklore the loudest engines and fattest horsepower figures often dominate the headlines, but the trophies usually go home with the teams that play a subtler game. Look back at Mauro Forghieri’s Ferraris of the 1970s: he would happily give up a little horsepower if it meant shaving weight from the crankcase or dropping the centre of gravity…
Designing Pneumatic Schematics in E3.series
Pneumatic systems are everywhere, playing a vital role in industries where fast, precise, and reliable actuation is required. They power robotic arms in industrial automation, regulate gases in semiconductor manufacturing, and operate valves in nuclear power plants. Pneumatic actuation converts compressed…
AI in PCB Design: From Misconception to Meaningful Assistance
From boardrooms to press briefings, conversations around AI in PCB design have grown louder—portrayed by some as a transformative force poised to reshape engineering workflows. There’s a growing belief—especially among decision-makers—that AI is on the brink of designing printed circuit boards on its own. Some even suggest entire layout teams might be “streamlined” in favor of…
The Limits of Document Based Engineering
If you remember the era of procedural programming, you likely recall the resistance that came with the shift to object-oriented methods. Paradigm shifts in engineering rarely happen because of enthusiasm for new methods—they happen out of necessity. The complexity of modern systems demands it. Today, document-based engineering is facing its limits in cyberphysical product development. And…
