Factors to Consider When Assessing a Manufacturer’s Quality Management System
Why Is a Quality Management System so Important? A Quality Management System (QMS) is a formal system that documents processes and responsibilities for enforcing quality policies and objectives. A QMS helps support and direct an organization’s activities to meet customer and regulatory requirements and improve its overall performance. It covers aspects like documentation of the […]
Top Design for Manufacturability Considerations
The general engineering practice of designing products for manufacture is known as Design for Manufacturability (DFM). This technique is practiced across nearly every engineering discipline. This article details common design principles used to improve manufacturability, such as using a multi-functional team, standardizing parts, and minimizing over-constraints. Some of the expected benefits of incorporating these engineering […]
Active Optical Cables VS Traditional Copper
Traditional copper wiring has many constraints. As InfiniBand data speeds increase and data centers cluster in size, copper cable technology is being pushed to its limits. Passive cables are restricted by their conductivity and can only carry a certain amount of data over short distances. Active optical cables transcend some of the constraints of passive […]
Machine Vision Applications Of Active Optical Xtreme
Machine vision is a technology that uses cameras, software algorithms, and other processing hardware to generate rapidly increasing amounts of video and still imagery for real-time analysis. Nortechs Active Optical Xtreme cable is the best way to keep up with the rapid changing vision systems. Vision systems are used in various industries, such as automotive, […]
Cable Harness Assembly Design Considerations
A cable harness assembly is typically a configuration of electrical cables or wires protected by a molding or environmental-proof backshell. Used to transmit power and signals, these harnesses can range from simple commercial applications to multi-legged assemblies with complex breakouts and junctions like those used more often for defense, medical, or industrial applications. First Name(Required) […]
A Guide to Solving Common PCBA Prototyping Issues
Whether you are designing life-saving devices or industrial equipment, PCBAs are a necessary component. PCBA designs are becoming increasingly complex yet required to fit in smaller and smaller spaces. You may also be tasked with redesigning layouts due to obsolescence or the unavailability of existing components as a result of global supply chain issues. Regardless […]
