The UNSPSC (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code) plays a foundational role in spend analysis by providing a standardized taxonomy for categorizing products and services. This coding system enables organizations to track, manage, and analyze procurement data consistently across departments, suppliers, and geographies. Here’s how UNSPSC supports and enhances spend analysis initiatives: 1. Standardized […]
As electronic devices become smaller, faster, and more complicated, printing circuit board (PCB) designs have become more challenging than ever. Not only do engineers need to be able to produce highly precise designs, they are also expected to do so faster and more efficiently. AI-driven PCB layout tools, especially OrCAD PCB Designer are shifting to […]
The European Chemicals Agency or ECHA has recently made changes to its Classification and Labelling Inventory. This update affects how companies handle and keep track of chemical substances in the European Union. If your business deals with regulated materials or works with global suppliers, knowing about these changes is important. Here is a simple breakdown […]
ISO 15118 and OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) are both crucial standards in EV charging infrastructure, but they operate at different levels of the communication chain and serve distinct purposes. Here’s a detailed comparison: ISO 15118 vs. OCPP – A Comparison Aspect ISO 15118 OCPP (v2.0.1+) Scope Communication between EV and Charging Station (EVSE) […]
OCTT (Open Charge Point Protocol Test Tool) certification ensures that your EV charging product (whether a charging station (EVSE) or central system) complies with the OCPP standards. This certification is issued by the Open Charge Alliance (OCA) and validates that your product meets the interoperability and performance requirements of the protocol. Here’s why obtaining OCTT […]
If you’re designing a printed circuit board (PCB), one of the most important things to get right is the thickness of the PCB. While it may not feel like a critical detail, PCB thickness affects everything from the strength of your PCB to its heat and signal performances to the PCB’s manufacturability. Determining the correct […]
When engaging in high-speed PCB designs, signal integrity can’t be left to chance. Whether you’re working with DDR, USB, HDMI, or some other fast protocol, a small layout error can have significant implications on performance. This is where OrCAD X shines. This contemporary design platform equipped engineers with the required toolset to confidently route high-speed […]
