Creating a custom PCB is a complex task entailing both sound technical and problem-solution skills. However, although designing tools and manufacturing technologies are advancing, even limited mistakes in the PCB layout may lead to significant failure of a product and, in some cases, full circuit failure. These errors may provoke expensive redesigns, production delays and…
Downtime cannot be afforded in the modern industrial settings, because downtime no longer is simply an inconvenience; it is also very expensive. With the introduction of automation and robotics in manufacturing, the ability to have a non-stop operation of the mechatronic systems has become essential. This is where an effective approach of safety assessment comes into…
Safety in healthcare settings is paramount—not just for patients, but also for doctors, nurses, and support staff. A thorough safety assessment plays a vital role in identifying, managing, and preventing risks that could compromise health and operational efficiency. It is a structured process that evaluates the physical, procedural, and environmental conditions of a medical facility to…
Various electrical systems are hazardous in industrial, commercial and even residential premises. Arc flash and electrical shock hazard are among the most serious ones. Even though they are both electricity related, the cause of these two and the nature as well as the consequences differ in them. Being aware of these differences is the key…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming our life and establishing billions of devices connected together, providing smart services in homes, healthcare, industries and agriculture. Every effective IoT device has a high-quality printed circuit board (PCB) at its center. Standard, off-the-shelf PCBs work fine for straightforward applications, but they typically can’t manage more complex IoT…
In the highly competitive global market where almost every product undergoes intense competition, reliability and performance has become a distinguishing factor among the various engineering teams around the world. With electronic devices getting smaller, more compact and powerful it is becoming increasingly more important that the heat issues generated by them should be effectively addressed…
Electric arc flash incidents pose one of the most serious risks to electrical infrastructure and personnel working around energized equipment. An electric arc flash is a sudden release of intense heat and light caused by a fault in an electrical system. While often brief, its consequences can be far-reaching—causing equipment failure, operational disruptions, and even…
High-speed signal crosstalk Design Crosstalk is one of the most common problems of signal integrity in both high-density PCB designs and high-speed PCB designs. It is possible for nearby traces carrying high-speed signals to interfere with one another and with the high-speed signals themselves. With small signals at high frequencies more chances of unwanted coupling…
Structural analysis and design software is great asset to civil engineers, architects and other infrastructure experts in fast-paced environment construction world. Answering this question is not easy because of the variety of tools present in the market. You could be in business promoting residential towers, commercial buildings, bridges, and industrial plants, but the software you…
Today’s reliance on technology has made India a leading country for making electronic goods. Rising PCB manufacturing companies in India are majorly responsible for this development. These companies help new industries such as the IoT and the automotive sector, along with backing conventional electronics. Enabling Innovation in IoT The Internet of Things depends on all…
