How Can Port Automation Reduce Lead Times and Shipping Costs?

How Can Port Automation Reduce Lead Times and Shipping Costs? There’s no doubt about the fact that technology will play a critical role in streamlining port operations—and right so. Automation is inevitable in most supply chain situations, but it will be those who adopt this infrastructure first that will ease the burden of increasingly high throughput. While it’s near certain that artificial intelligence (AI) will reduce lead times and shrink the costs involved in global shipping movements, ports have a Read Article

Requirements management

Manage Requirements in Electronics Designs with Altium 365 RSP The complexity of electronics design has outpaced traditional methods for requirements management. From what we see, 30 to 50 percent of development teams still track requirements with spreadsheets or basic text documents, while others resort to adding notes directly onto designs or using task management tools like Jira. This fragmented approach–with requirements scattered across multiple systems and teams–creates significant risk as products Read Article
