Managing Board-Level End-of-Life Products
In today’s fast-paced world where some board-level products have a shelf life as short as six months, board and technology End-Of-Life (EOL) management has become vitally important. Board-level product manufacturers continuously upgrade their products. This can create problems for OEMs that must maintain configuration control or are in a regulated industry in which board changes require expensive re-certification.

Behind the semantics of 'green,' 'low power,' and 'energy efficient'
The terms “green,” “energy efficient,” and “low power” are flying everywhere right now, and amid all the marketing hype, sometimes the lines between them get blurred. Even our various titles here at OpenSystems Publishing have different views on this, because it all depends on where you stand in the supply chain and which direction you look. Here’s my quick take on the differences and why and how I cov...

Designing eco-friendly products and technologies with green engineering
Designing for Energy Efficiency (DfEE) crosses the supply chain, from generating energy more efficiently to decreasing energy usage on a large scale to reducing the impact of energy usage on the environment. The techniques required to achieve these efficiencies are becoming more available and easier to use with tools like graphical system design that put the power of DfEE into the hands of engineers.
