The pandemic has changed the way we work, the way we live, and now how we design hard ware boards/products. This article talks about tips for a successful first attempt at hardware/product design, considering post-pandemic challenges.
Electronics component shortages and design impact
Component shortages (due to end of life and longer lead times) in the entire industry are a very common issue post-pandemic. It impacts all ongoing design and production projects. Even products undergoing production are affected and it causes engineers to redesign products as well as continually monitor the supply and demand of BOM (Bill of Material) parts and take appropriate actions. Designing boards with multiple footprints for key parts will help hardware designers to design boards with multiple manufacturers. End-of-life (EOL) checks before freezing design and during every stage of design will help hardware engineers to avoid design changes at the last moment. Entire BOM component selection with alternate manufacturers, as well as procurement of entire BOM components for 2-3 years of product demand in the design phase, helps to address this issue. Having a strong vendor relationship for component availability and shortage information is a must-do in the current scenario.
