By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx Manufacturers of vehicle batteries were in a slow moving industry based on lead-acid batteries. However, they are now in an era of very rapid change. Product re-positioning and new technology can make the difference between high sustainable profits and oblivion.

There are very few sectors where technology and innovation move faster than the automotive industry, an industry which offers well-respected and well-paid long-term career opportunities for today’s graduates. However according to a PriceWaterHouseCoopers report in 2011, 46% of automotive CEOs say the task of finding the right talent is becoming increasingly difficult, predominantly because there are not enough skilled candidates. In fact, 56% (...

CUI today revealed the industry’s first self-compensating No-Bus digital point of load DC-DC module family, the NSMP-series. The modules are specifically designed for customers who value the efficiency and compensation advantages inherent in digital power but do not want to incorporate digital bus communication in their systems.
