What's New

TÜV SÜD America, part of the global TÜV SÜD testing, inspection, and certification organization, is pleased to announce that it has expanded Battery Testing capabilities in its Auburn Hills, Michigan and Newmarket, Ontario lab facilities.

CONEC, a manufacturer of high-quality connectors, has developed and expanded its combination mixed layout D-subminiature connector family by adding high density (size 22) signal contact layouts.

Industry standards play a major role in providing meaningful metrics and common procedures that allow various manufacturers, customers and suppliers to communicate from facility to facility around the world. Standards are increasingly important in our global economy. In manufacturing, uniform quality requirements and testing procedures are necessary to make sure that all involved parties are speaking the same language.

The last decade has seen unprecedented advances in both medical device and information technologies. As the technologies used in these two sectors continue to develop and converge, new markets are created and manufacturers have responded by releasing new products and solutions. One such marketplace is Healthcare IT (HIT), where, for example, solutions are now being implemented enabling physicians to view patient records on a tablet device or remotely from the care location on a smart phone.
