Willzville asked:


What are the legal requirements (if any) in the UK that I need as an individual in order to legally perform electrical wiring for consumer electronic products.

Example:
I want to buy acoustic parts to build a speaker, of which I will sell. Apart from CE certification, what legal requirements do I need as an individual to manufacture consumer electrical products?

I heard there was this ‘competent person’ certificate I have to get or something.

Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India

bharatbook asked:


India has an increasingly affluent middle class population that, on the back of rapid economic growth, has made the country’s consumer electronics industry highly dynamic. The industry has been witnessing significant growth in recent years due to several factors, such as retail boom, growing disposable income and availability of easy finance schemes. But still, the consumer electronics goods, like refrigerators, microwave and washing machines, have low penetration in the country, representing vast room for future growth. This is attracting many foreign majors to the country, according to the new report “Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India”.

The report finds that since the penetration of several products like TVs and refrigerators are reaching saturation in the urban areas, the markets for these products are shifting to the semi-urban and rural areas.

This analytical research thoroughly evaluates the Indian consumer electronics industry. It briefly discusses about the current and emerging trends in the industry, underlining the future potential areas and key issues crucial for the industry development.

“Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India” offers extensive research on various consumer electronics products that are broadly classified as home appliances, audio/video appliances, mobile handsets, and PC market. It provides an insight into the emerging and potential future trend in all the categories and highlights the key strategies that need to be worked upon to get success in the highly competitive industry.

The report thoroughly analyzes the historic performance and future prospects, offering 4-year industry forecast, of following consumer electronics products:

§ Washing Machines (Semi-automatic & Fully Automatic)

§ Television

§ Set-top Box

§ Refrigerator (Frost-free & Direct Cool)

§ Air Conditioner

§ Microwave Oven

§ MP3 Players

§ Digital Camera & Camcorder

§ Mobile Handsets

§ PCs (Desktop & Notebook)

Key Research Findings:

§ Propelled by growing middle class population, changing lifestyle and rapid urbanization, the Indian consumer electronics industry is forecasted to grow at a rapid rate of 10% to 12% in the coming few years.

§ Volume sales of washing machine will be driven by growth in fully automatic category during 2008-09 to 2011-12.

§ The market for televisions in India is changing rapidly from the conventional CRT technology to Flat Panel Display Televisions (FPTV). Currently, the split between CRT and FPTV is around 97% and 3% respectively, and the share of FPTV is projected to increase at robust rate in near future.

§ Frost-free refrigerator sales, certainly growing at a much faster pace than the direct-cool category, are anticipated to drive the Indian refrigerators market over the forecast period.

§ The AC market in India is projected to grow at 30% to 35% for the coming few years.

§ Driven by young population, demand for MP3 players and digital video appliances are anticipated to surge at double-digit rate in near future.

§ The low penetration level of consumer electronics goods coupled with increasing preference for comfort and luxurious goods are widely attracting the foreign as well as domestic players to the industry.

Electronics Staffing Shortage Cured by Resourcemfg

June 24th, 2009

Thomas Cutler asked:


The common theme from all of the High Tech Manufacturing Companies surveyed reveals the biggest challenge is the availability of the skilled workforce. Blackfox’s core expertise is electronics, although they provide training and certification to the entire supply chain of manufacturers. Blackfox is an IPC Approved Training and Certification Center, one of four in the world authorized to train and certify to all standards. The IPC Standards are the internationally accepted quality standards that govern the acceptability criteria for Electronics Manufacturing.

ResourceMFG (www.resourcemfg.com) recognizes the core competencies of recruiting, screening, hiring, placing and retaining a temporary workforce. ResourceMFG has to be proactive in training the skilled electronics workforce of tomorrow and partnered with Blackfox Training Institute to provide and end to end solution to the Electronic manufacturing sector. This solution provides a qualified, certified, contingent workforce which is more productive for customers; it also creates great opportunities for trained employees. With the growing demand for skilled employees in the electronics industry this strategic partnership provides a seamless solution.

The U.S. is the world’s largest producer of electronic products, accounting for around 21% of the world total. It also represents the world’s largest market with around 29% of the total and with the outsourcing trend of sending many of our high volume, repetitive, high tech jobs offshore; we are left with the lower volume, but more complex jobs which require much higher skills. Job growth pushed down the unemployment rate to 2.5 percent in Utah, significantly lower than the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.5 percent.

Al Dill, President of Blackfox Training Institute noted, “There is a huge shortage of skilled workers to fill the demand in Electronics Manufacturing. The Staffing Industry, in general, has long struggled with providing Electronics Manufacturing with the right person with the right skills at the right time. The typical staffing company claims to have the ability to staff individuals in any industry and in any job position. The Myth is that they have the ability to screen, assess, and train individuals in all facets of electronic manufacturing before they are placed. The truth is that training and certification are not their core competencies and they need a specialist such as Blackfox to provide that service. Blackfox has provided this service to other staffing firms in the past, but has been challenged to keep them focused on the requirements of Electronic Manufacturers, due to distractions to fill the needs of every other industry. We found them to be generalists in all industries and specialists in none. The technologies in this industry are forever advancing and require the service providers to be abreast of the skill sets required to succeed. This all changed when Blackfox met ResourceMFG, a manufacturing only staffing firm. RMFG is focused and has the support staff that is knowledgeable and understands the needs of electronics manufacturers.”

ResourceMFG is involved with the total spectrum of manufacturing positions including production, quality, maintenance, supervision, and all levels of management. The company serves a wide variety of industry segments that include automotive, electronic, machining, sheet metal, fabrication, and many other specialized producers. Manufacturing is the sole focus of ResourceMFG allowing a better manufacturing workforce.

Portable Electronics for the Smart and Tech-savvy

Nilakshi Handique asked:


The invention of portable electronics has indeed made the world much smaller today. However, prior to the 1947 invention of the transistor, portable electronics were a distant reality. While people longed to take radios on trips, the large vacuum tubes for sound amplification made it impossible.

The transistor brought about a great revolution within the electronic components industry. Its tiny size, reliability, and durability enabled manufacturers to shrink the size of electronics and thereby make really portable electronics.

The appeal of portable electronics escalated since their introduction in the 1950s. Today, music lovers cannot live without their iPods, DVD players, and FM radios.

DVD players:

Among the portable music players, DVD players, though not as hot as they once were, are still extremely popular as a great portable electronics product. Small and compact, they pack a lot of features as a carry on. All it requires is popping in your favorite DVD hook in your headphones, press play and enjoy. Whether you are traveling on a professional tour or vacation, portable DVD players can offer the perfect quality sound and picture.



CD players:


CD players too like DVD players are hot favorites especially as an integral car accessory.  Apart from that, there are CD players to satisfy consumers from all walks of life. There are portable CD players, CD players for kids, and Dj CD players from different brands.

Whichever brand you buy, always remember that an ideal CD player should have top loading, shock proof memory, and an LCD display. The best part of this portable electronics product is that it usually has an option to ‘Add to my mix’ to select songs and add in a separate directory. The sales package in most brands comes with a carrying case and a headset cord extension (helps while connecting to PC). So, CD players are a must for those of you, for whom listening to music is religion.

I-Pod:

I-Pod, introduced initially in 2001 by Apple was like any MP3 player but with an amazing storage capacity of 5 gigabytes. But today, after about 7 years, it plays songs, movies, games and photo slideshows, and can store up to 160 GB of any type of file. The I-Pod line has been upgraded many times since its invention, and each significant revision is called a ‘generation’. Only the most recent generation and refurbished units of previous generations of the I-Pod line are available from Apple for each model (Classic, Nano, Shuffle, and Touch). Each new generation usually has more features and refinements while typically being physically smaller and lighter than its predecessor.

If you are planning to buy any of these then just go ahead wear it as a badge of your musical devotion.
