IN Brief:
- Component availability has improved in places, but qualified capacity, memory demand, and supplier attention remain uneven across critical electronics markets.
- The issue covers supply chain optimisation, medical device design, AI-enabled diagnostics, sensor ASICs, high-power PoE, and connected-device security.
- As AI infrastructure, regulation, and edge intelligence reshape design priorities, resilience is becoming an engineering discipline as much as a procurement function.
With component markets still carrying the effects of shortages, inventory correction, tariffs, export controls, and geopolitical disruption, Issue 3 of IN Electronics & Design focuses on the practical work of building resilient electronics systems.
As companies reassess supply strategies that once relied too heavily on linear, low-buffer operating models, the cover interview with RS Group’s Carolyn Park, Vice President – Supply Chain Optimisation, follows the shift towards stronger visibility, regional flexibility, digital modelling, and closer supplier relationships. Her discussion sits alongside the Editor’s Desk, which examines the pressure created when memory capacity, pricing power, and supplier attention are drawn towards AI infrastructure while medical, industrial, and embedded systems continue to depend on qualified components.
While supply resilience provides the frame, medical electronics receives sustained attention across the issue. A feature from Intellias examines AI-enabled diagnostic and monitoring systems, EMS looks at miniature drive systems for faster medical device deployment, and East West Manufacturing covers resilience in regulated medical manufacturing. A separate contribution from Swindon Silicon Systems explains how sensor interface ASICs turn raw signals into reliable decisions.
As edge intelligence and connected devices bring power delivery, data throughput, and security deeper into the design brief, Antaira covers high-power delivery for AI-ready industrial networks, while Wireless Logic examines IoT security eight years after GDPR. For readers following electronics design, manufacturing, and supply, the full digital edition offers a grounded view of how critical systems are being specified when qualified components, regulatory evidence, and infrastructure demand all have to be managed together.
