Electronics Industry Awards 2019 – New date, new venue, new format A
fter the huge success of the inaugural Electronics Industry Awards 2018, Datateam Business Media has announced that next year’s awards event will be held on Friday 21st June at the Tower Hotel, London. Guided by the industry’s feedback from
last year, some exciting changes have been implemented to the Electronics Industry Awards 2019. To give everyone more time to network with fellow colleagues and friends, the event has been moved into the summer and will offer a fantastic luncheon for all attendees. The dress code remains as lounge suits and cocktail dresses. The Electronics Industry Awards has also
introduced a panel of judges to its decision-making process. Their scores will go hand-in-hand with the industry votes to ensure that the final winners in every
category are the pinnacle of excellence within this vibrant industry, producing five finalists and ultimately one winner. Steve Chapman, marketing strategist and senior copywriter, Swordfish Marketing agrees that the industry vote is an important part of the process. He says: “We were impressed with the way the awards evening was staged. We’ve attended a few over the decades and this was among the best. The venue was ideal. The evening’s comedian host turned out to be a true asset and we enjoyed seeing him bamboozled by some of the industry’s preposterous product names. The catering was first class too – that was unexpected. Best of all is that the award votes came from the public. We like that as it gives credibility. In all, the evening was great fun and excellent value.”
Nick Foot, PR director, BWW
Communications also enjoyed the evening: “BWW and our clients really enjoyed the Electronics Industry Awards – a nice boost to our industry and a welcome addition to the calendar.” Mike Maynard, managing director, Napier agrees that the industry vote makes the Electronics Industry Awards unique. “As the only awards to be voted on by the industry, the Electronics Industry Awards are highly prestigious,” he says. “The quality of attendees on the night – a who's who of electronics – reflected their importance.” The event is organised by Datateam Business Media in association with CIE Magazine and supported by Electronics Magazine and ecsn.

COSEL announces new R&D Innovation centre in Toyama Japan C
OSEL Co, Ltd has announced the opening of a new R&D and innovation centre in Toyama, Japan. In a brand new, purpose built building with a floor space of 8,200 square meters, 250 R&D employees will have access to the most advanced equipment and technologies to design high quality power solutions with a reduced time-to-market. Looking towards future requirements and in order to respond rapidly to market demands, the 1.7 billion Japanese Yen investment (13 million Euro) will make it possible to host 100 more R&D employees, making COSEL one of the largest power technology forces serving demanding customers in the world today.
The new R&D and Innovation centre features no less than five EMC anechoic chambers, including one complying with the stringent three meters requirement for radio emissions and susceptibility testing. Having the capability to test many products simultaneously within the R&D department significantly reduces the verification and qualification process times in a market where regulation and compliance is evolving rapidly. The centre comprises five departments, on board power solutions, AC/DC standard units and configurations, Intelligent power supplies, custom service for modifications/adaptation, and EMI filters. The departments will share the new facility, increasing synergy levels within the COSEL R&D community. With a strong focus on quality and energy saving, the research team is conducting

a number of projects aiming to increase power conversion efficiency such as Wide Bandgap (GaN, SiC) semiconductors, digital power control and energy management, and a close relationship within the five departments is key to success. “Combining the resources and technologies of the new COSEL R&D Innovation centre in Japan with the recently acquired Powerbox, and having three R&D centres in Europe and a high level of expertise in custom power solutions for demanding applications positions COSEL as
an undoubted market leader,” says Tatsuo Yamamoto, COSEL’s EU & USA sales director. “From board power to very specialised power solutions such as in high magnetic fields in MRI equipment, we have solutions to support our customers and we foresee a high potential from our latest research to reduce energy consumption, benefiting society as a whole.” For developing products for industrial and harsh environments, COSEL’s R&D Innovation Lab includes climatic chambers able to reproduce various onerous conditions such as salt laden atmospheres and oil bath immersion. The new facility has been designed using the latest energy management and energy saving technologies such as air to air exchangers to regulate building and test room temperatures. A centralised computer permanently controls the
environment and energy distributed within the building. Even the parking lot is equipped with the latest technology chargers for electrical vehicles. In designing and building its new R&D Innovation Lab, COSEL has endeavored not only to comply all the requirements of ISO 9001-2015 and ISO 14001-2015, but whenever possible to exceed them in order to produce a true, world leading, state of the art innovation centre.
