There is a tendency to transition from focusing on components to focusing on systems. Suppliers from a wide variety of sectors are working to relieve the pressure on designers who excel at conceptualising applications and solutions, while many of the underlying problems are managed by the manufacturers of all sorts of systems.

“Take the batteries used to supply power to a number of IoT solutions, for example. They’ve done away with ordinary cells and, instead, in many remote applications it’s possible to choose a battery with an exceptionally long service life.
Lithium batteries have paved the way for service lives of up to ten years and, in some cases, even fifteen maintenance-free, replacement-free years in the edge application. But you can’t just pick a lithium-ion solution off the shelf and trust that the solution will work. Reliable, long-life lithium-ion batteries require a high degree of precision – and for other purposes it may make more sense to look for a different chemical composition.
The production of lithium-ion batteries requires extreme precision, and in fact only Japanese manufacturers have the capability to provide decent quality. There is another option: LiFePO4 – lithium-iron-phosphate – which is a less critical chemical compound, typically based on Chinese cell production, but Chinese products are not very popular right now.
The chemical composition can also influence the type of fork-lift trucks used in a warehouse. It’s not brilliant to have a fire-proof warehouse if your facility uses fork-lift trucks running on lithium-ion batteries from China. But this involves much more than just the chemical composition,” explains Morten Nyborg, ACTEC.
