Serving as the eyes of modern machinery, optical image sensors are integral to machine vision technology, allowing equipment to “see” its surroundings and act accordingly. In this article, Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development and Product Engineering at ASIC design and supply company Swindon Silicon Systems, explains how an Application …

When it comes to machinery, ‘seeing’ its surroundings is one thing — but being able to interpret this information usefully is another altogether. Here, Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development and Product Engineering at ASIC company Swindon Silicon Systems explains the importance and benefits of ASIC-driven proximity sensors in a …

The benefits of predictive maintenance (PdM) are already well established. Improved productivity, lowered maintenance cost and a reduction in unplanned downtime by up to 50 per cent are just a few of the advantages offered. But how do you achieve a truly optimised sensor system? Here, Ross Turnbull, Director of …

Swindon Silicon Systems, a mixed signal ASIC specialist and a Sensata Technologies company, demonstrates its ongoing support for innovation in the electronics sector by sponsoring the Elektra Awards. The prestigious event will celebrate growth and performance during its annual ceremony at Grosvenor House, London on November 29, 2023. With 18 …

Swindon Silicon Systems, the mixed signal Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) design and supply specialist, will share its approach to engineering customer-specific integrated circuit solutions with SPS’ 40,000 attendees. The exhibition, taking place from November 14 to 16 at the Nuremberg Messe in Germany, is a highlight in calendars across …

Efficiency is a constant topic of focus for manufacturers. There’s always work to be done to make a process more efficient, but it can be difficult to identify where to start. In this article, Richard Mount, Director of Sales at ASIC design and supply company Swindon Silicon Systems, explores three …

For many manufacturers, receiving an obsolescence warning for integrated circuits (ICs) can raise alarm. Faced with the prospect of potentially having to cut production runs short, leave existing customers unsupported, or search for replacement chips on the market, obsolescence can be a tricky problem to solve. But turning to custom …

Cities account for more than 70 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions — that’s despite making up only around three per cent of the world’s landmass. In response, urban planners and developers are increasingly turning to technology to make our cities smarter and more sustainable. In this article, Richard Mount, …

How do you prove your facilities are compliant? Gathering data, reports and logs from every inch of the manufacturing shop floor can take time, and it might not be as comprehensive as one might wish. Here, Richard Mount, Director of Sales at ASIC design and supply company Swindon Silicon Systems, …

One of the most desirable trends in electronics system design is to push as much functionality as possible into a single device. To achieve that, it is favourable to use an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) over an off-the-shelf IC. To ensure ASICs retain their edge over their standardised counterparts, …
