SETTING THE BENCHMARK

When it comes to cybersecurity, "absolute" security does not exist. Instead, it's a balance of risk management and pragmatic safeguarding. The goal is not to achieve impenetrability but to reach a state of sufficient security where risks are understood, measured, and consciously accepted.

The first...

Modern electronic circuit designs pack as much functionality and performance as possible into the smallest spaces, but this requires meeting challenging electrical and mechanical goals for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Fortunately, for years, Benchmark’s PCB design engineers have tracked the...

Automation in manufacturing systems leads to optimized operations, improved repeatability, and reduced errors. The key is to simplify flexible automated solutions to address specific challenges. As processes evolve, modular solutions ensure that the benefits of automation grow over time.
