When’s the Right Time to Move from PLC to a Custom PCB?
TL;DR The tipping point for moving from a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to a custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is when your production volumes, commercial targets, and product requirements outgrow what PLCs can cost-effectively deliver. This change typically makes sense when: Your annual production is approaching 100–1,000 units or more and you see further growth […]
What is Regression Testing? The Key to Reliable Embedded Systems
TL;DR: What is Regression Testing? A systematic way to verify that recent code changes haven’t broken existing functionality in embedded systems. Essential Quality Assurance: Regression testing identifies when new code breaks existing functionality, ensuring product reliability in embedded systems. Closed-Loop Integration: Effective regression testing requires hardware and software components to be tested together, simulating real-world […]
