Customers not only want a product, they want a relationship… and a relationship takes two! They want to know that you will be there for them. In return, great customer service can help boost sales, retain customer loyalty and build company reputations. Easily accessible sites like Yelp, Glassdoor and Facebook, can destroy a company's reputations for their lack of customer service. This day and age, people have a voice and aren't afraid to share it. That's why it is so important for business owners and suppliers to provide the highest level of support to their customers. It's one of the old tried and true...

Even though people may not notice them, semiconductors are everywhere! From our cell phones to computers, to the latest robot vacuums, they make up the heart of all electronic devices. It doesn’t seem like this industry is fading out any time soon as some of the financial estimates expect the semiconductor industry to reach $389.4 billion by 2019. Thanks to the technology boom of the early 21st century and with more innovative electronic devices, gadgets and telecommunication products being developed daily, choosing the right products for your semiconductor research or manufacturing team is a key component for success. One of the...

The use of solar energy and the technology behind it are on the evolutionary fast track in the race to incorporate green, renewable resources into our daily consumption of power at home and in our offices, factories, and commercial buildings. But did you know that there are two fundamental types of solar technology? Yep, we are all about to get a little smarter. In the world of solar technology, tech is divided into “active” and “passive”. The photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors that actively harness solar energy are considered active solar technologies. Passive solar technology, on the other hand,...

Well, it's 2016 and this year promises to be greener than ever before. However, as we know, it takes a lot of work and a strong commitment to truly realize the benefits of going green. One area that is expanding in the quest to become a green industry is nanotechnology. In order to qualify for nanotechnology status, your product needs to measure at a length, width or height of around 1 to 100 nanometers. As you can imagine, that doesn't leave a lot of room to incorporate green solutions during the manufacturing process. Currently, only water treatment and very specific power generation can be used to incorporate green...

Green, Greener, Greenest?? (Is there a best shade of green in the pursuit of clean energy?) In today's manufacturing and production environments, the term “Green Manufacturing” can mean two things: The manufacturing process – the world of manufacturing has embraced the ideas of green (or “clean”) manufacturing. Now that the sing-a-long-campfire that had brought us all together is a distant smolder, it's time for action. Incorporating green products and green technologies into an existing manufacturing process can be difficult and time consuming. Considering many industries (like semiconductor...

Utilities vs. Consumers...and the winner is?! You've heard it before; “that's a good problem to have”. But is there really such a thing as a “Good” problem? So, here's the deal. Utility companies around the world are working diligently to not only employ alternative and clean energy solutions, but many are doing so in a race to surpass their current fossil fuel and nuclear based power generation facilities within the next 15 years. Sounds like a “good” problem, right? Not so fast. While production is up, it's being largely consumed by these medium and large-scale utility...

How to win and lose, all at the same time. In Europe, and specifically within the European electricity market, it seems that winning and losing at the same time is the current trend. Why? We're glad you asked. It seems that while Europe is growing at an exponential rate for the adoption of alternative energy, it's coming at a cost. Normally, the generating companies were having to pay the managers of the utilities. However, back in 2013 on a bright and sunny day in Germany, demand for power was low. At the time, solar and wind generators were producing more than half of what was required (30 GW). At the peak of power...

Breaking the Law.......well, sort of. We are all familiar with Moore's Law; a prediction that the number of transistors on a semiconductor device would double every year (later revised to every two years), and the cost of these multiplying transistors would fall as their volume grows. For the past 5 decades, this law has held true. However, This “Law” is in jeopardy of being broken. For the past several decades, the PC has been the steady consumer of semiconductors, and has enjoyed a steady rate of growth, especially the past 20 years. Yet the PC has been surpassed recently, as both business and personal computing has...

Green energy. Whether it's from the sun, wind, ocean, or manufactured biofuels, we as a planet are incorporating more and more natural and eco-friendly “Green” fuels as each day passes. And the goal of using fewer fossil fuels and manufacturing processes that generate less harmful pollutants into our air, land, and water are priorities. However, as solar energy and the manufacturing of photovoltaic cells grows, the cost of producing these products becomes more competitive. The industry may very well be shooting itself in its proverbial foot as the trail of chemical pollution all but negates the environmental value of this...
