Thermal Design Considerations for High Performance Industrial Motherboard

December 3, 2025 No Comments

High-performance systems generate significant heat during continuous operation. Processors, GPUs, PMICs, and high-density I/O clusters all contribute to thermal stress. Industrial environments amplify these challenges. Many machines run 24/7, often inside sealed enclosures with minimal airflow. Heat buildup reduces component reliability and shortens system lifespan. The Industrial Motherboard must therefore

How UWB Positioning Module Enhances Indoor Location Accuracy？

November 25, 2025 No Comments

Indoor positioning is far more complex than outdoor GPS tracking. Thick walls, furniture, metal structures, and other obstacles reflect and scatter signals. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-based positioning often struggle to maintain consistent accuracy. In environments such as warehouses, hospitals, and factories, inaccurate tracking can lead to operational inefficiencies, misplaced assets, and

Comparing Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz RF Module for IoT Projects

November 18, 2025 No Comments

Selecting the right RF Module is crucial for successful IoT deployments. Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz modules dominate the market, each offering unique advantages. Engineers must evaluate project requirements, including range, power consumption, data rate, and network environment. Using the correct frequency ensures reliable communication and optimizes device performance. For instance, smart

Comparing UHF and HF RFID Modules for Different Use Cases

November 3, 2025 No Comments

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has become essential in industrial automation, logistics, healthcare, and retail. Yet, one question often arises: should you choose a UHF or HF RFID Module? Both technologies serve similar purposes but operate under very different conditions. Understanding these differences enables engineers, system designers, and procurement managers

What is the difference between a Development Board and a PCB?

October 13, 2025 No Comments

In electronics, developers frequently encounter two fundamental components: the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the Development Board. While both involve circuit boards, they serve very different purposes. A PCB provides the structural and electrical foundation for components in a finished device. A Development Board, by contrast, is a ready-to-use platform

Zigbee Module vs WiFi which is better for home automation networks

September 23, 2025 No Comments

When setting up home automation, a key question arises: Should you use a Zigbee Module or WiFi to connect your devices? Both are common in smart homes, but they serve different purposes. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each can save you money, improve reliability, and make your setup more

The Role of Industrial Motherboard in Smart Factory Development

September 9, 2025 No Comments

Smart factories rely on stable and intelligent systems to achieve efficiency. At the centre of these systems is the Industrial Motherboard. It connects equipment, processes data, and ensures operations run without interruption. Unlike consumer-grade hardware, it is engineered for harsh environments and continuous workloads. As industries move toward digital transformation,
