In an effort to make your production line more efficient, look at the different ways to lay out the production line or overall manufacturing plant. Two of the most common layouts are the process ...

Chung-Kuan Cheng received a Ph.D. degree inelectrical engineering and computer sciences from University ofCalifornia, Berkeley in 1984. From 1984 to 1986 he was a senior CADengineer at Advanced Micro ...

It's often been said that form follows function. I prefer to think that function drives form. Unfortunately, just the opposite is true for modern CAD tools -- function is a slave to form (or geometry) ...

If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times: Documentation is the least favorite part of engineering. But it also may be one of the most important and is growing to be more so. This was made ...

During the design process, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is typically used to assess how equipment and machinery might fail. Recent functional safety design legislation in the EU has ...

The focus on functional safety IP is rapidly growing and we’re seeing this growth not just in automotive but in many other markets including, avionics, medical, industrial and railways, where systems ...
