The “Internet of Things” and Artaflex

artaflex — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 21:04:53 +0000

Artaflex is continually focused on innovation & new applications across our markets – and one of those focuses include new 5G applications (AKA the new internet). The “internet of things” is a growing network that will consists of approximately 30 billion embedded computing devices by 2020; paving the way for the future of electronic products and computing. By enabling everyday objects and devices to collect & exchange data, the possibilities become virtually limitless. Wireless technologies and other internet connected devices, have created new and innovative product opportunities in the OEM industry – taking everyday objects and integrating them with computer-based systems & sensors.

Artaflex sees the “internet of things” as an opportunity to learn and grow as an integrated electronics manufacturer services company & wireless product provider, in addition to providing increased value and services to our customers. “Smart” technology can be as simple as dimming a light in your home, wirelessly – but on a grand scale, technologies like smart grids, intelligent transportation, and smart homes & cities will completely change consumer technology & infrastructure as we know it; including new and exciting wearable technologies for consumer use.

Current home automation capabilities are an excellent example of the “internet of things” at work. Smart home devices such as automated lighting, heating, and appliances can now be controlled remotely from your personal devices – allowing for more convenient and personalized living. The data itself that can be collected and shared via these devices is also invaluable, generated in large amounts of information from diverse users and locations around the world. The most exciting applications for these types of technologies focus on large-scale solutions, such as traffic mitigation, smart grids, and the detection & prevention of various hazards (fire, pollution, radiation, etc.) – leading to smarter homes, neighbourhoods, and cities.

Artaflex electronic design & manufacturing capabilities provide custom solutions for OEMs that exceed the standard. Our wireless offerings, combined with our custom interconnect, systems integration, and full product development capabilities, enable Artaflex to be competitive in today’s ever-changing markets. We are looking forward to the next generation of electronic devices, and the “internet of things” in driving new innovations & technologies.

Artaflex offers Industry Leading NPI

artaflex — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 23:10:06 +0000

Our Prototyping and New Product Introduction (NPI) services are offered at Artaflex and partner manufacturing facilities in Canada & the United States, and across the globe. Launching new electronics in today’s markets is a challenge like no other. In order to ensure success, everything needs to come together perfectly – from design & manufacturing, to quality control & logistics, there is very little room for anything less than perfection.

Components must be able to be manufactured quickly, without sacrificing quality, in order to maintain market leadership. Even more importantly, prototypes and pre-production products must be manufactured free of assembly errors and defects so that functionality can be demonstrated to the end customer as soon as possible.

Artaflex thrives in this environment, and its the reason many of our OEMs have come to us for their electronics manufacturing needs, as well as our electronics design services. Our verification and engineering processes produce assemblies that work as designed the first time, enabling them to get to market quickly and gain competitive advantage.

Artaflex Design Verification & Test Development

artaflex — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 17:56:01 +0000

Artaflex aims to manufacture products at the best possibly quality, while focusing on value for OEMs. Designs should function as expected, so we offer the verification & testing services to ensure that your products conform to your specifications – before moving forward with development processes. Our design verification services include – Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM), Design-for-Test (DFT), and Design-for-Excellence (DFX).

Verification is a complex task that often requires a great deal of time and effort for most large electronic system design projects. By taking advantage of our global network of facilities and equipment, you are able to verify your products without tying of up resources or delaying your project unnecessarily.

Artaflex gets involved intimately with test methodologies and test effectiveness. Multiple methodologies are considered to ensure maximum coverage and quality though early detection. In addition to complete test fixture development, Artaflex enables test files for boundary scan (JTAG), functional tests, flying probes and other test point processes for maximum test effectiveness.

For a full list of testing services, click here or contact us directly. We are an approved application provider for JTAG Technologies, a provider of board test and in-system programming based on IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan. Please contact us to discuss your JTAG test development needs.
