While the Internet of Things (IoT) has been around for over 20 years, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is still a relatively new concept. The IoT is the notion of connecting electronic devices via a network, whereas the IoMT refers specifically to any medical equipment connected to an IT system, usually via Wi-Fi. These [...]
The modern medical landscape would not be where it is today without the rapid progression and innovation of medical technology (or ‘MedTech’). We discussed the use of electronics in soft, flexible technology back in October. This piece outlined how electronics are being more widely incorporated into wearable and implantable MedTech. However, electronics are also used [...]
The Six Nations Championship is one of the oldest surviving rugby traditions — and among the best-attended sporting events in the world. Long gone are the days of old, wooden scoreboards or watching the game on a fuzzy, low-quality TV. See those gigantic screens at the stadium? The ones at the pub? Even the ones [...]
At the beginning of 2020, we opened a brand-new facility in Amsterdam as part of our continued growth and expansion across Europe. This new office means we now have five facilities in Europe — two in the UK, two in Romania and one in the Netherlands — as well as our supply chain office in [...]
Since 1984, we have been providing electronic manufacturing services to OEMs and product innovators across a variety of key markets — from industrial, automotive, marine and security to medical, sports tech and IoT. We’re dedicated to ensuring we remain competitive, develop our existing partnerships and build future ones by investing in new facilities, machinery, technology, [...]
There are lots of reasons why, as an OEM, you might choose to outsource your electronics manufacturing. Perhaps you don’t have the necessary capabilities in house, or the money required for upfront investments in equipment. Or maybe you need help speeding up your time to market. However, electronics manufacturing is a complicated process. Any decision [...]
The world around us is rarely flat — so, it was only a matter of time before the rigid technology we have become accustomed to started to evolve into something altogether more malleable. Flexible — or “soft” — electronics can be manufactured using identical components to those used for rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs), whilst [...]
There once was a time when Christmas was hardly celebrated. In fact, it wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that it became an annual tradition celebrated around the world. But have you ever wondered who invented Christmas lights? Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, created the very first strand of electric lights. [...]
No longer limited to just computers, tablets and smartphones, the Internet of Things (IoT) has steadily been gaining traction across various industries. Amongst other sectors, remotely controlled applications are helping to automate solutions and solve numerous problems for health, energy, automotive and retail. In 2009, there were less than a billion IoT devices. Ten years [...]
Over the past 10 years, the electronics manufacturing industry has evolved at a rapid pace. Where once the sector followed a B2B approach, now we are starting to see it shift towards a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) model, which allows manufacturers to sell directly to consumers. This change has had a significant impact on the industry — [...]
