Half-Happy Hour, Part Deaux
We had part "deaux" of our company-wide “Half-Happy Hour” where about 18 folks (had a few pop in and out) got to relax, kick their feet up for a bit, and perhaps sip on something tall and cool. Rather than a trivia party, we talked about what we wanted to be when we...

Video: Bring your mission-critical programming in-house
Smaller OEMs, while perhaps having many of the same needs as the Automotive guys, were constrained by limited resources. As their programming needs outgrew their ability to produce on manual systems, the only option was to outsource to the programming houses or ship their component manufacturing off-shore. Then came the perfect storm of 2019: a crippling trade war, followed by a growing pandemic.
Doing our Part to Defeat Our Common Enemy

Bring your mission-critical programming in-house for less than the cost of outsourcing AND maintain control of your IP
Moore’s law (Moore’s law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law) )states integrated circuits double in both speed and number of circuits roughly every two years. As programmable devices become smaller, denser, and more complex, most machines that program those devices have become more expensive, and require experienced technicians to operate, maintain and troubleshoot.
How easy is it to change out sockets on a BPM Programmer?
In less than 60 seconds, a novice can easily change out sockets and a pressure plate, with no tools needed. So easy, even a marketing guy can do it!
Signal Integrity
Not all programming solutions are the same. If quality and maximum device life are important, it’s imperative to know what to look for. When evaluating a programming solution, ask about signal integrity. Review this white paper for helpful tips.
Are Market Forces Beyond Your Control Keeping You Up at Night?
OEMs recognize the risk in outsourcing critical components, such as programmed devices, to off-shore suppliers. They are looking more closely at options that reduce their reliance on forces beyond their control in a way that reduces costs and speeds go-to-market. Download the white paper now.
