Acting as a bridge between the analogue and digital worlds, integrated circuits (ICs) are crucial to any ‘smart’ process, where real life conditions need to be interpreted to trigger the appropriate digital response.

While COP27 reaffirmed the urgency of the climate crisis, concerns are rising around whether meeting global targets is feasible.

Industry 4.0 can be described as an eye-opening experience. The next phase in the digitalisation of the manufacturing sector, driven by the astonishing rise in data volumes, computational power and connectivity, allows manufacturers to see beyond the surface of their plant to uncover new ways of optimisation.

According to Fictiv’s 2022 State of Manufacturing report, 90% of manufacturers are using digital processes.

Swindon Silicon Systems, a mixed signal ASIC design and supply company, will demonstrate its support for the global electronics industry as it sponsors this year’s edition of the Elektra Awards. Now in its 20th year, the award ceremony will be held at Grosvenor House Hotel in London on November 30th, 2022.

In October 2022, the European Union (EU) adopted its action plan to digitalise the energy system for a more efficient, sustainable, secure and competitive energy market.

Swindon Silicon Systems, a mixed signal ASIC design and supply specialist and a Sensata Technologies company, will exhibit its capabilities in custom integrated circuit (IC) solutions at electronica 2022.

Over the past decade, the global sales volume of industrial robots has tripled, according to Statista. Not only are robots becoming more popular, but their functionality has also increased, allowing more complex tasks to be automated.

Since the pandemic, the shortage of warehouse workers in the UK has been well documented. But recently, the RTITB claimed that digitalisation could be the key to tackling the gap, having found a solution that gets forklift operators into warehouse and logistics operations faster, reducing lost days by 88.7%.

Industry 4.0 technologies have transformed processes across the manufacturing value chain for the better, but ensuring worker safety in an increasingly more complex environment has taken on a different form, with new considerations.

When developing an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with a supplier, nothing is manufactured or physically measured before the end of the entire design process. So, how can you ensure that the finished product will fit seamlessly into your application without any unpleasant surprises?

A recent study by Ericsson found that almost two thirds of manufacturers believe their company will be at least 80% automated in the next 10 years.

Thanks to today’s touch-screen technology, interaction with a computer can be as instinctive as a conversation between two humans.

Swindon Silicon Systems will exhibit its capabilities in custom integrated circuit (IC) design at SENSOR+TEST 2022 in Hall 1, stand 1-412. Dedicated to showcasing the latest developments in sensor elements, components and technologies, the show will be held at the Messezentrum Nuremberg convention centre in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 10 to 12, 2022.

Companies are continually looking for innovative ways to differentiate their products from the crowd and to make them more competitive in both cost and performance. They can embrace the advantages of higher integration through the increasing use of ASIC technology. Here, Richard Mount of Swindon Silicon Systems discusses how constant improvements in silicon design and manufacturing processes are opening the world of Application Specific Inte...

Recent reports suggest as many as 20 billion devices could be connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in a market potentially worth over $200 billion within a few years. For manufacturers keen to ensure their production facilities remain competitive, they will need to embrace the IIoT where the physical world is connected to the digital via smart sensors. Swindon Silicon explain.

  There is a strong case for using ASIC technology in the management of battery power packs in EVs, proposes Swindon Silicon Systems

Swindon Silicon Systems, a Sensata Technologies company, is using this year’s Embedded World to prove to visitors the benefits of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and how their integration into a product or system provides a genuine technical and commercial advantage.
