Navigating Device Safety and Quality in Supply Chain 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
Where Does Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Help with Supply Chain Management? 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 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

How to Create a Global Sourcing Strategy for Parts and Production in PCB Manufacturing How to Create a Global Sourcing Strategy for Parts and Production in PCB Manufacturing A global sourcing strategy should consider four dimensions when being formed (figure 1). These dimensions of geography, compliance and finance, resilience, and responsiveness are critical in building a robust strategy for parts and production in PCB manufacturing. The first dimension, geography, pertains to the physical location of suppliers and manufacturers. It involves considerations such as proximity to raw materials, labor costs, and market Read Article
