The ever-increasing integration of digital processes in manufacturing is one of the main revolutions the industry is witnessing. Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem, addresses how data and standard ...

Recent growth in the use of BIM and model-based processes has spawned an enormous increase in offsite and near-site prefabrication, a trend that could be transformative for the construction industry.

While a “breadboard” design may be workable, it may not be possible to actually making standard components fit the required envelope. Engineers often think that assembling finished products from ...

Maximum cleanability and hygiene of the equipment and environment are the main requirements in the food processing sector where risk of contamination must be reduced for human health and safety.

Engineers often think that assembling finished products from standard components is efficient — if they just look at the price of the parts. But look at the time it takes to bring a concept into ...

As chipmakers ramp up the next wave of processes and grapple with how to reduce defect levels, they are encountering problems from an unlikely source—components inside of the fab equipment. Defects ...

Component-Based Software Performance Engineering (CBSPE) integrates the modularity of component-based software engineering with rigorous performance analysis, enabling the design and tuning of complex ...

The molding materials used to package lead-free components differ from conventional epoxies in two ways: They take up moisture more slowly, and they better resist higher temperatures. But at the ...
