Automated planning of environmental, health and safety (EH&S) compliance audits benefits and affects all levels of operations. Best-in-Class practices reveal the value of automated planning and how it can ultimately save the company from avoidable costs and risks.

Key findings include:

Compliance to regulations and the need to manage risk are still the primary drivers when it comes to EH&S.
The cost-prohibitive consequences of poor compliance enhance the value of automating planning for compliance audits.
Best-in-Class firms exhibit the foresight necessary to ensure successful automation of compliance audits.
Leaders are 5 times more likely than Followers to complete 100% of audit action items.

Controlled ESR Capacitors: Should You Use Them for Power Integrity? I can’t think of a single product I’ve built that doesn’t require capacitors. We often talk a lot about effective series inductance (ESL) in capacitors and its effects on power integrity. What about effective series resistance (ESR)? Is there a technique you can use to determine the appropriate level of resistance, and can you use ESR to your advantage? Like many answers to important engineering questions, the answer is “it depends.” One type of Read Article

Efficient Heat Dissipation with SMD Heat Sinks Keeps You From Dropping PCBs In electronics, there is the possibility that your PCB can get pretty hot due to power dissipation in certain components. Whenever a component reaches an extreme temperature that goes beyond a component's safe operating range, its lifetime will be greatly reduced or the component may fail immediately. The heat-producing component being defective means the entire PCBA will need to be scrapped. There are many things to consider when dealing with Read Article
