In this presentation, Rochester Electronics, debunks the myths surrounding date codes.

Historically, it was believed components were no longer usable due to metrics like “two-year date code”. However, date codes are no longer a reliable indicator of component quality and may prevent the use of perfectly viable components. Presentation will explore why purchasers no longer need to fear component ‘expiration dates’. They can feel confident that properly stored components will not only be reliable in the field, but of high quality well past their date code.

Embedded software is in virtually all the products we come in contact with every day. For example, there are 100+ million lines of code in automotive, 24% of Medical device recalls are due to software issues, and there's 15.4% growth in the software driven "Smart Appliance" market.

As a result the use of embedded software is quickly infringing on hardware’s dominance in the product development process. However in many environments software development is a siloed activity that leads to disconnects between product requirements and implementation that leads to product recalls or product failures. In legacy software development environments, many different point solutions are used to manage the application lifecycle. As a result, development artifacts are  scattered, slowing down collaboration, hindering transparency, undermining integrity and making it difficult to drive innovation.

This presentation of Polarion Application Lifecycle Management will cover the challenges in today’s embedded software development and how Polarion can help organizations with a unified solution that divers project transparency through real-time aggregated management information. Polarion enables everyone to be aligned around what is being built and why, to drive advancement while protecting integrity and compliance. Polarion helps teams respond faster and with better quality to new business opportunities and customer demands. The presentation will also show how it’s possible to work with different stakeholders like clients and managers together with projectmembers so that everybody has a real-time view of the status of the project.

Who actually owns the Swedish EMS market? This presentation is built on a database constructed from scratch – more than 750 companies reviewed one by one, 77 qualified. 

The result is a mapping of Sweden's 20 largest EMS providers, and their factories, based on 2024 revenues, with original analysis of market concentration, geographic distribution, and the consolidation reshaping the industry in real time. Spoiler: ten factories account for more than half the market.
