Hottinger Brüel & Kjær pauses its business activities in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine
As a global company, we are deeply concerned about the current situation in Ukraine. HBK has therefore taken the decision to pause all trading with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. We also want to acknowledge the impact this situation has on all of us within HBK, and especially to those in our teams who have families and loved ones caught up in the conflict. Health and Safety is at the heart of our business, and we will stand together in our support for the people of Ukraine at this time.
Concurrent Real-Time is now part of HBK. Concurrent Real-Time, together with VI-grade and Imtec Engineering, will constitute the Virtual Test Division within HBK. The Division will focus on providing complete solutions to virtually test products throughout the entire development cycle, helping companies accelerate innovation, reduce time-to-market, and improve their competitive advantage.
In this second part of our interview, Jens Wiegand, HBK’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Senior Vice President of Electronics & Software share his thoughts on the role technology plays in shortening product development cycles without compromising quality and predicts the next big breakthroughs for the product development team.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are so quiet at low speeds that they can be a danger to pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users. So the challenge for car manufacturers is to create sounds that are detectable but not annoying.
With high customer expectations, relentless competition and time criticality, businesses across the world are under pressure to shorten their product development cycles, while reducing cost and maintaining quality. We asked Jens Wiegand, Chief Technology Officer, at HBK, to elaborate on how global trends in product development are shifting and accelerating.
