Designing Safe Electronics for ATEX-Certified Environments
Demystifying ATEX-Certified Electronics Design Engineering electronics for explosive atmospheres is a challenge every serious designer faces at some point. When your creations could end up in places where a single spark means disaster, there’s no room for error. ATEX certification, established under European directive 2014/34/EU, stands as the gatekeeper for devices in hazardous environments. Think…

The Future of IoT: Engineering Challenges Nobody Talks About
Hidden Engineering Hurdles in the Future of IoT Ask anyone in the IoT space about challenges and you’ll usually hear about security breaches or vague “scaling issues.” But beneath the buzz lies a complex reality. One where real-time performance, hardware limits, and the physical world conspire to trip up even experienced engineers. Here’s a look…

Designing for Manufacturability: Tips for Hardware Engineers
When talking about designing products that don’t just work in theory but thrive in the real world, the words “design for manufacturability” (DFM) come up early and often. In hardware engineering, especially where firmware and circuit boards intersect, too many projects stumble right at the manufacturing line. Let’s dive into actionable DFM tips, shaped by…

Why Firmware is the Silent Hero of Every Smart Device
Smart devices are everywhere. From the phone in your pocket to the thermostat on your wall. Their sleek designs and innovative features capture most of the attention, but it’s something far less visible that keeps these devices ticking: firmware. Often overshadowed by flashy apps or the power of the hardware, firmware quietly bridges the gap…

When to Outsource Electronics Design (And When Not To)
Electronics design is the heart and soul of any modern product development journey. Start-ups, SMEs, and veteran product managers alike eventually face that pivotal decision: Is it time to look for external engineering expertise, or should we roll up our sleeves and keep things in-house? Having spent years as part of an outsourced electronics design…
