What is the Internet of Things? The Internet of Things (IoT) is a giant network of interconnected digital endpoints, from consumer devices to industrial sensors, all of which collect, store and share information about their environment and the way they are used, without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Thanks to the prevalence of wireless networks and the arrival of cheap computer chips, it is possible to turn almost any physical object into part of the IoT. The term Internet of Things was first coined in 1999, although the concept of

Choose the right design partner for your new product development (NPD) and you’ll reap the rewards of their additional resource and expertise, increase the likelihood of on-time project delivery with high-quality results, and achieve careful cost-control for what is often a high-expenditure (and therefore also high-risk) undertaking. The team at Corintech discuss how to successfully outsource electronic product design… There are many reasons for a company to consider outsourcing a design project or even their entire NPD process. Here are just three to consider: ●     In-house resource limitations are preventing

As an electronics manufacturer supplying aerospace and defence industries, we recently underwent an interim audit and are proud to have passed the inspection with flying colours. What Does AS9100 Mean to You? AS9100 is essentially proof that Corintech has a tight and controlled quality management system in place in each and all of its processes. It requires an additional 80 requirements and 18 amplifications on top of other quality management standards such as ISO 9001, specific to aerospace business operations. This, in turn, means the company is more likely to

Designers need to consider many aspects throughout the electronic product design process. As an electronics manufacturer, we often come across cases where production factors have been left to last and occasionally not considered at all. We thought that it would be helpful to pick our engineer’s brains for advice on PCB design for production and assembly. Here are six top tips to help you get it right first time. Well designed component footprints reduce problems during solder assembly. Where possible use nominal density IPC-7351B/C compliant footprints. Do not ignore placement
