Electronic Product Design Report Finds Significant Challenges in Data Correlation and Software Integration

In April 2019, Keysight released the Keysight 2019 Electronic Product Design report, which reveals that data sharing enabled by an integrated product development solution would significantly improve time-to-market across the entire product development workflow.

The Keysight report is based on a survey, conducted by Dimensional Research, of 304 engineers, managers and executives that design, validate and test electronic devices. The survey focused on the challenges identified by respondents across the entire product design workflow.

The results identified data correlation and software integration as the most pressing challenges faced by design and test engineers. In fact, 91% of survey respondents stated that they spend up to 6 months correlating simulation data to test results, a critical step to ensure performance and reliability. This work significantly slows time-to-market for electronic products.

Test Equipment Report Highlights Connection Between Quality and Bottom Line

The company also recently released the Keysight Test Equipment Report which reveals the increasing challenges to achieving electronic hardware manufacturing quality and the impact of poor testing practices on the bottom line of businesses.

The Keysight Test Equipment Report is based on a survey conducted by Dimensional Research consisting of 306 participants that use test equipment for ensuring electronic device quality and testing. The survey sought to understand the current challenges for achieving electronic hardware manufacturing quality.

According to the survey, 64% of respondents confirmed that ensuring product quality is growing more difficult due to the increased complexity of electronics, and the corresponding complexities of testing required to measure quality. Respondents reported that quality challenges originate from growing customer demands and tighter tolerances to increasing manufacturing complexity and pace.
