10/27/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Leaving the show floor on the final afternoon of SMTA International last week in Rosemont, Illinois, it was clear that the show remains a grounded, technically driven event that delivers a solid program, good networking, and an easy space to commune with industry colleagues and meet with customers.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/26/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Though the news cycle felt a little less exclamatory this week, there were many global business news headlines worth revisiting. Among them, China announced a bold carbon emissions goal of 10% over the next decade to double its solar and wind power capacity. The Wall Street Journal published an article, “Global Port Leaders See Trade Shifting, Not Slowing,” a nod to businesses’ risk mitigation strategies and execution around overreliance on China coming into play in a bigger way.
It’s Only Common Sense: Sales Strategies for a Virtual World
09/22/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet’s get one thing straight: Remote selling isn’t a temporary inconvenience. It’s not a "phase" that magically disappears if you hold your breath long enough. It’s the new playing field, and if you want to win, you’d better learn how to hit the ball in this new ballpark. Selling through a screen is not harder; it’s just different. Different rules, different tools, same game. Connect with people, build trust, solve problems, and earn the deal. The salespeople who master remote selling will eat the ones who don’t for breakfast.
Beyond Design: Slaying Signal Integrity Villains
09/17/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignHigh-speed PCB design is a balancing act, where subtle oversights can develop into major signal integrity nightmares. Some culprits lie dormant during early validation, only to reveal themselves later through workflow disruptions and elusive performance bottlenecks. Take crosstalk, for example. What begins as a stray signal coupling between traces can ripple through the design, ultimately destabilizing the power distribution network. Each of these troublemakers operates with signature tactics, but they also have well-known vulnerabilities.
Integrating Uniplate PLBCu6 With the Digital Factory Suite
09/12/2025 | Giovanni Obino and Andreas Schatz, MKS' AtotechPrinted circuit board manufacturing is rapidly changing, driven by miniaturization, stringent reliability requirements, and growing pressure for sustainable production. Meeting these challenges requires more than incremental improvements; it demands a combination of precise equipment and real-time process intelligence. The pairing of Uniplate® PLBCu6 with the Digital Factory Suite (DFS) demonstrates how hardware and software can work together to create more responsive, resource-efficient manufacturing.
