For about a decade, I’ve been reading news articles about India being at a crossroads. But according to IPC India Executive Director Gaurab Majumdar, the country may now be heading out on the highway with the accelerator floored. In this article, Gaurab explains why companies seeking technical staff should consider India, which has a large population of skilled technologists and college students ready to join the workforce.
It All Starts With Sensors
Published August 30
In this article, Happy Holden points out that manufacturing data collection begins with sensors. But the implementation of Smart processes requires much more than just great sensor technology, and you may have to upskill your staff or hire experts to take you to the finish line. As Happy says, “Time does not favor the procrastinator.”

One centerpiece of the new SEL facility in Idaho is the fully automated IPS ENIG line, which measures 81 feet in length. In this interview, IPS President Mike Brask explains how this line was custom-built for SEL to include a variety of features not usually seen in North America.
Model Citizens: Modelithics
Published August 28
We recently spoke with Chris DeMartino, an applications engineer at Modelithics, about the company’s business “model” of providing simulation models for the RF and microwave industries. Creating models is a tedious job for PCB designers and design engineers, so this could wind up being a real time-saver.
