The right batteries and chips for renewable energy

Oct 16 2024 18 mins  
The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. So how can we save our green energy for the times we can’t produce it? In this episode, our expert Marco Werr explains how battery energy storage systems (BESS) help harness the energy from renewables, so it is there when we need it.

USB data trends in industrial automation

Sep 30 2024 12 mins  
How do USB connectors help machines 'see' and work smarter? In industrial automation, machine vision plays a crucial role in enabling machines to 'see' and interact with their environment. High-speed USB data transfer is the backbone of this technology, facilitating the rapid transmission of image data from cameras to processing units and allowing real-time analysis, precise qualit

Fostering co-innovation and sustainability with Jiva Materials

Sep 16 2024 14 mins  
To solve some of the industry’s biggest challenges, it takes players both big and small. In this episode, our Julian Haslberger and special guest Jack Herring from Jiva Materials explain how they came together to address electronic waste with recyclable PCBs as part of Infineon’s Co-Innovation Program.

Reducing electronic waste with recyclable PCB

Sep 10 2024 15 mins  
Electronic waste is rapidly growing, but is there a more sustainable option to just throwing away electrical components? In this episode, our expert Andreas Kopp and special guest Jack Herring from Jiva Materials dive into how both companies are coming together to make recyclable PCBs that not only reduce waste but also withstand the demands of the semiconductor industry.
