Watch Video Navigating Device Safety and Quality in Supply Chain The printed circuit board (PCB) serves as the foundation upon which modern devices manage to function—it plays a critical role in electronics. From smartphones and laptops to lifesaving medical equipment and industrial control systems, PCBs direct the flow of electrons to enable the functionality that society increasingly depends upon. However, with increased power and capability comes additional safety and quality considerations, and these Read Article Ensuring Reliable Sourcing in Medical Device Supply Chains Key complications include the multifaceted complex nature of medical devices, the intricate assembly process, stringent regulatory requirements, import/export restrictions, and a fiercely competitive landscape, and a need for a continuous improvement (CI) system (figure 1). To navigate these challenges, organisations can take actions to invest in research and development, implement strong quality control measures, build robust regulatory teams Read Article Where Does Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Help with Supply Chain Management? PLM is a systematic approach to managing the series of changes a product goes through, from its design and development to its ultimate retirement or disposal. SCM, on the other hand, involves the active management of supply chain activities to maximize customer value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. The PLM software market is valued at US$47.3 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach US$80.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of Read Article ATmega328P Essentials: Getting Started Without Arduino I’ve been using the Arduino Uno board for quite some time, including as examples for many of my articles. I’ve always wondered what it would take to get the ATmega328P (the original chip used on the older Uno boards) working completely on its own. With the Arduino making it so accessible via its bootloader, nice GUI software, and C++ abstraction, you’d wonder why on earth I would want to even attempt this. Sometimes, in order to appreciate what Read Article Getting Started With DevOps for Embedded Systems Using the ATmega328P DevOps and Agile methodologies have transformed software development by emphasizing collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.
