Our case studies delve into a diverse array of challenges faced by industrial professionals, offering an in-depth look at how Smiths Interconnect's cutting-edge technologies and expertise have transformed these challenges into success stories.

  • Automotive testing today subjects whole vehicles, components, and systems to an intensive series of laboratory, virtual and real-world assessments – from emissions analysis, crash simulations and extensive electronics testing, to a wide range of ‘buzz, sq

    Smiths Interconnect connectors drive revolution in automotive testing

    Such cutting-edge expectations demand connectors that can perform reliably and consistently in the relentlessly unforgiving test environment, with the resilience to withstand multiple mating cycles over an extended period of time without failure. But, at the same time, they need to be easy to assemble, have a low unit price and be configurable for different applications and models.

  • Customer gained an important competitive advantage through a reliable and durable interconnect solution that can guarantee stability and maximum power charge throughout the spraying time.

    The connectivity solution Smiths Interconnect was asked to provide was the main connector which connects the drone with its battery for power supply and the required performance was to withstand at least with 25 minutes flight time and a coverage of up to six acres per battery charge with artificial intelligence-assisted navigation.

  • Ultrasonic testing (UT) comprises a range of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques that send ultrasonic waves through an object or material.

    Reliable tests for factory automation

    Test and Measurement is a huge market segment including many sub-segments where continuous growth is driven by increased demand from the electronics and automation industry. The common goal of all Test and Measurement equipment is to assess the efficacy of operational processes and aid manufacturers in monitoring and enhancing the quality, safety and productivity of their systems.

Smiths Interconnect connectors drive revolution in automotive testing

Modern drivers expect their cars to provide an even smoother, quieter, and easier experience – whilst also being safer, tougher, and less environmentally impactful. It’s a tall order. To achieve both the necessary certifications and customer confidence for sales success, new models must endure an even more stressful, rigorous, and aggressive testing and validation regime. Automotive testing today subjects whole vehicles, components, and systems to an intensive series of laboratory, virtual and real-world assessments – from emissions analysis, crash simulations and extensive electronics testing, to a wide range of ‘buzz, squeak and rattle’ investigations.
