In 2020, it was predicted that semiconductors would be in short supply for many years. This has since changed.
NASA Artemis launches: What does this mean for SpaceX Starship?
NASA has reached a milestone with the launch of Artemis 1. But does Artemis stand up to comparison with the SpaceX Starship?
Digital Twin and Digital Thread: Do not confuse!
"Digital Twin" and "Digital Thread" both have a lot to do with systems engineering. But be careful, they are not the same thing!
How Cruise reduces the cost of the central control unit by 90%
Cruise is a start-up that manufactures autonomous vehicles. The company develops its own control units, with 90% reducing costs.
Requirement check everywhere with one click
There are now more and more tools for checking requirements - I recently mentioned the open source library Vale. As a by-product of a customer project, I have developed a simple Vale-based quality check. You can now activate it anywhere with one click via a web browser extension. It works in Confluence, Jama or Polarion. Which rules are supported and how...
