In my experience, the best engineers suffer from a condition in which they, before even taking Read Article

Agile Product Lifecycle Management Methods in PCB Design

Agile Product Lifecycle Management Methods in PCB Design Supercharge your productivity with agile product lifecycle management Any industry that relies heavily on new technologies must frequently reinvent itself and address product obsolescence. Every piece of technology has a finite lifecycle that ends due to obsolescence or malfunction. Electronics and the PCBs that support them are no different; components on PCBs eventually wear out and malfunction, or the product can no longer compete with a Read Article

Integrated Product Lifecycle Management in the Era of IoT

Integrated Product Lifecycle Management in the Era of IoT Integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is essential to successful product release in an increasingly competitive and complex market. Behavior by Best-in-Class firms demonstrates how PLM can and is being used as an innovative platform for digital transformation and, ultimately, a tool for promoting more successful and effective product development from start to finish. Key findings include: 40% of Best-in-Class manufacturers identify PLM as Read Article

Design Release Management and Communicating Intent

Design Release Management and Communicating Intent We know that designing and releasing a product involves a multidisciplinary chain of command. Prior to its release, the ECAD side often goes through a series of adaptations to capture the incremental changes to the design. During this stage, the ECAD data is a moving target, which can impede the flow of communication to invested parties. Failure to effectively communicate these changes can have significant consequences on the design release Read Article
