Reducing Time to Market in Manufacturing

July 7, 2017

Engineers and designers feel pressured to design products quickly, and managing the transition between the two disciplines can be tough. Now industrial designers can capture ideas without having to think about CAD, while mechanical engineers work simultaneously on the same model. Learn how the SOLIDWORKS suite of software brings product functionality from concept to sales while delivering competitive manufacturing costs.

Interconnect Devices, Inc.

Founded in 1979, IDI’s first decade reflected a commitment to the ATE (automated test equipment) industry. As IDI spring-loaded probes provided test engineers with the reliability they demanded, we asked the simple question: why not introduce our superior spring probe technology to other industries where reliable interconnect was in demand? So, in the early 1990’s, IDI introduced probe technology to semiconductor test engineers and designers of products where interconnect reliability was a top priority.

Value First in the Manufacturing 4.0 Age

whitePaper | May 21, 2020

We are living through a historic time, when advanced technologies continually change how a manufacturer generates value. This new digital era is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR). Companies see new technologies accelerating strategic, tech-enabled transformations. Regardless, many manufacturing companies are stuck in the proof of concept (PoC) phase or are running projects that are delivering results far from revolutionary. Add to that the COVID-19 tsunami, a crisis that changed the world in a matter of weeks. It is difficult to predict every aspect of the post-COVID-19 era, but it is already clear the world will never be the same. Even the most conservative industrial player will need to adapt to the “new normal”, with the importance of digital rapidly increasing for the entire value chain. Executives are expected to speed up digital transformation initiatives, changing the operating model forever.
