Good things to recommend | This is the secret weapon that helps electronic engineers solve the biggest problems at work

As a good partner of Chinese engineers, RS Electronics always cares about the work and life of every Chinese engineer. Especially at work , we always hope that RS products can help engineers in their work.

So today, I bring you an article written by Ten22, our electronic engineering expert on DesignSpark , to recommend a magic tool that can free you from boring work such as organizing cables and counting equipment !

(The following content is adapted from the original article written by Ten22)

Generally speaking, engineers are involved in two aspects of work when designing an electronic system:

The first type requires a lot of thinking and complex manual work, such as assembling and debugging a system to make it work properly.

The second type: basic work that is boring, repetitive and requires little brainpower.

As an engineer, the sense of accomplishment we get from our work also comes from the following two aspects:

1. Innovative work. For example, making a new machine or debugging a system so that it can work successfully. This type of work usually requires a lot of time to think and do.

Although it is exciting for engineers, this work will become very painful if the solution to the problem does not fit their design.

2. Basic work that does not require innovation or even thinking. Typical examples include counting cables and equipment. This type of work is particularly time-consuming and may even take more time than innovative work.

In fact, every second we spend on basic work has the possibility of being used in innovative work. After all, as an engineer, we have studied for so many years, not to count equipment and cables every day.

How can you free yourself from this kind of work? Real professional electronic CAD software can help you.

By using electronic CAD software, we can save more than 5% of the time in some projects, and the time spent in the total design process can be reduced by at least 50%.

If you are not satisfied with this data and want to save more time at work, you can actually make some small upgrades on existing projects, such as promoting large-scale renumbering through minor changes, which I will explain in detail in later articles.

Engineers who have read this, if you think that your current work efficiency is very high and you spend too much time and energy on tasks such as cleaning cables, then congratulations, you must have found a working method that suits you, or you have found the right tools.

If you don’t have this feeling, you will still spend a lot of time on meaningless work every day!!!
