📽️ Rand Technology at electronicaFair 2024 📽️ At electronica 2024, Rand Technology’s CEO, Andrea Klein, spoke with Electronic Specifier’s Editor, Mick Elliott, about the pressing need to modernise supply chains in the AI era. The discussion explored the challenges this shift entails, the unique role of global independent distributors, and Rand Technology’s contributions to creating resilient supply networks. Rand’s unique position as the only 100% woman-owned and certified global independent distributor was emphasised. Its tightly controlled supply chain, advanced testing capabilities, and strong quality record—maintaining a return rate of less than 0.25% over 32 years—set it apart. Klein also reflected on the importance of fostering diversity in the sector, highlighting how women-led companies can bring innovative strategies and cultural shifts to an industry historically dominated by men, enhancing supply chain performance and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

sureCore Ltd announces successful tape-out of cryogenic IP demonstrator SureCore, the ultra-low power embedded memory specialist, has announced the successful tape out of the next key part of the Innovate UK (IUK)-funded project ‘Development of CryoCMOS to Enable the Next Generation of Scalable Quantum Computers’. This is a chip that will validate the cryogenic SPICE models and IP developed in the project that will be used for control and measurement ASICs to be housed within the cryostat along with the qubits. Moving the control electronics from outside the cryostat to within it is needed to reduce latency and cabling but means that the electronics has to operate at unprecedented low temperatures of down to 4 Kelvin, which is the purpose of the project.
