The cable manufacturing industry sits at the centre of many sectors that are currently driving economic growth and technological transformation. It supplies high-power cables and shielded data solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), enabling electrification, connectivity, and safety in next-generation mobility. At the same time, the industry delivers mission-critical components that underpin the renewable energy transition,
It is easy to think of semiconductors as no more than the hidden engines of consumer convenience. They sit quietly inside our mobile phones, televisions, smartwatches, and games consoles, enabling the seamless digital lives many of us now take for granted. However, reducing them to mere enabler of entertainment and communication means missing their true
ByteSnap Design has released a free interactive BOM Health Self-Assessment tool, helping engineering managers and technical directors understand their organisation’s exposure to component obsolescence risk. The online calculator is designed for manufacturers who suspect component obsolescence may be slowing them down but lack clear visibility into whether their current processes are sufficient.

The new imperative is resilience by design: building supply networks that not only survive disruptions but thrive because of them. Only a data-driven strategy with
Kettering MP Rosie Wrighting has highlighted the growing importance of supply chain resilience and component security during a visit to In2tec, a UK manufacturer developing technology to enable the reuse and recycling of electronic components. At a time when UK manufacturers continue to face global supply disruptions, rising costs and material shortages, Rosie visited In2tec
Honda Motor has confirmed it will be halting production at three of its China car plants by a further two weeks due to ongoing supply constraints. The factories, operated with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC), were planned to restart on 5th January but will now resume on 19th January, according to Honda. The company said the
P3: Reducing waste, EoL, and conclusion In April 2025, a national survey commissioned by UNA Watch found that people would rather replace their technology than repair it. And, to be honest, repairability is not always easy, quick, or cheap. In this regard, I think it is fair to say that consumer electronics are one of the
