Every great product starts with an idea. But how do you turn that idea into a fully functional electronic product? The answer lies in effective product realisation services. Product realisation combines market research and technological requirements with capabilities and resources to define the new product designs and requisite manufacturing services. Through a six-stage process, you [...]
The last decade has seen artificial intelligence (AI) emerge from what was once a futuristic concept to a genuinely applicable and effective technology. On the big screen, we’ve often seen AI in the form of killer robots or armies of autonomous machines turning against their owners. But in reality, the technology is being used across [...]
Throughout recent times, the medical industry has seen an explosion of innovative technologies which are reshaping many aspects of health and medicine. From AI-based monitors to implantable devices, medical technology (or “MedTech” as it is often known) has seen a significant volume of patent applications over the past 20 years or so. The industry shows [...]
Sometimes referred to as ‘system integration’, a box build is the process of assembling a single printed circuit board (PCB) or various PCBs, along with all the connected wiring and cables, into an enclosure to create a complete ‘boxed product’. This enclosure could be made of various materials including steel, aluminium, brass, wood, plastic and [...]
Contract manufacturing is a form of outsourcing whereby a business enters into an arrangement or formal agreement with a manufacturing firm for parts, products or components. Typically, the work is transferred to an external supplier because they are better equipped to complete it – either due to their advanced skillset or resources. There are several [...]

According to the UN, globally, the population is expected to rise to 9.3 billion in 2050. With global electronic waste hitting 50 tonnes per annum, population rises mean further urbanisation and increasing affluence in developing and developed nations. As we gather more ‘stuff’ the question becomes is it our problem or someone else’s? With 80% [...]
Devices which assist the dispensing of pharmaceutical products serve two purposes: to reduce errors in medical prescribing and address unused or unnecessary medicine waste. Medtech machines which identify which drugs are connected with which patient, and autodispense the correct medication and in the right dosage for specific needs are paving the way to reducing prescription [...]
