Most manufacturing failures come from a single, flawed assumption: that nothing will go wrong. Building programs with no margin for error is like building a house of cards. Success requires strategic trade-offs and internal alignment, not just cost-cutting.
Samsung has officially shot down a rumor claiming it would stop making SATA SSDs. The denial comes just weeks after Micron announced it was winding down its Crucial consumer SSD and RAM business, sparking supply fears.
According to a new report, Samsung’s next budget phone, the Galaxy A07 5G, is a disappointment for performance. It’s expected to use the same older chipset as its predecessor, despite other potential upgrades.
Market intelligence firm Counterpoint Research has revised its 2026 smartphone forecast downward. They predict a global shipment decline of 2.1%, with Apple facing a 2.2% year-over-year drop, worse than many rivals.
Advanced Energy has launched a dual-output 24V/24V module for its NeoPower configurable power supply family. The compact 2.5-inch module delivers up to 400W total, enabling more complex systems from a single unit.
Washington state is providing a $350,000 grant to support Portal Space Systems’ expansion into a new 50,000-square-foot satellite manufacturing facility in Bothell. The funding aims to help the company move from development to production, with a goal of building four spacecraft monthly by 2027. The
A startup called Overview Space has come out of stealth after a successful test of its space solar power technology. The company transmitted “multiple thousands of watts” via a near-infrared laser from an aircraft at 5,000 meters to a ground receiver. This is a key step toward its goal of beaming so
In a major move for the energy-hungry data center sector, power producer NextEra Energy is partnering with oil giant ExxonMobil to build a 1.2-gigawatt natural gas plant. The facility, planned for the Southeastern US, will integrate carbon capture tech and is being marketed to a hyperscale developer
As 2025 ends, AI in the supply chain is a mix of mature wins and stubborn hype. Warehouse robotics and optimization deliver real ROI, but the autonomous future is moving slowly. Here’s what’s proven and what’s still just talk.
A breakthrough in catalyst design from the University of Hong Kong tackles the biggest cost hurdle in green hydrogen production. The new material uses minimal ruthenium and forms a protective skin, allowing it to last over 1,400 hours in harsh acidic conditions.
