5 electrical trends for the coming years

Designers have set a course for functional minimalism and modern classics: most of the most current interiors are made in subdued colors, intricate decor has given way to laconic design, and technological solutions have come first. And everyone who wants to get a fashionable interior will benefit from this - after all, such techniques will not become outdated for many years.

The same applies to interior details that are not the most noticeable at first glance, but very important - for example, electrics. We tell you how to make switches and sockets not only fit into the decor, but also emphasize it.

Strict forms

The current trend is maximum simplicity and conciseness. All kinds of delights and excessive decor are a thing of the past. Therefore, you should choose sockets and switches of strict shapes, with straight lines - they will always look advantageous and set the “correct” rhythm to the interior.

Lithium-ion batteries

Leading electronics manufacturers have decided to create flexible power supplies. Panasonic has developed 0.55 mm thick lithium-ion batteries designed for wearable devices (tablets, phones, cameras).

They have a special multilayer structure and a special electrode placement design. Copper acts as the anode, and aluminum acts as the cathode. They can be of various shapes, most often cylindrical. Due to their mechanical properties, they can be bent and twisted without loss of power. There are several models, the strength of some of them is a thousand turns and bends.

Experiment with color (but be careful!)

Bet on monochrome. But for an interior in the spirit of the latest trends, instead of traditional white sockets and switches, try fashionable black ones - they look very stylish against the background of both light and dark walls.

Another interesting solution is to play with contrast: for example, take white switches framed by a black frame. Or choose elements in a current, muted, complex shade: for example, it could be anthracite.

It is very convenient when one manufacturer has all these options and you can see them “live” and decide on the final option on the spot. And the Gira brand has gone even further: it has created a convenient mobile application, the Gira Design Configurator, which quickly and easily gives a realistic picture of how the Gira E2 switch series looks in a real environment and whether it suits the individual style of the home.

11.24.15 Innovations in electrical engineering - new solutions in the arrangement of premises, energy saving

The technological boom has led to the widespread use of innovations used in electrical engineering. People order electrical services

for furnishing housing with new electronic devices that can reduce energy consumption, ensure comfort and safety of living.

M-Smart system

When arranging housing, humanity uses electrical advances to create comfort. Elegant sockets, expressive forms of M-Smart switches, complemented by technical capabilities, allow you to create a unified design concept for the premises.

Professional electrical services make it possible to install the following elements into the wall in a vertical or horizontal position, using an open or hidden installation method:

· sockets;

· switches;

· dimmers.

Rich shade, glossy surface of electrical installation products are combined, modern technologies are elements of a “smart home” system, where special attention is paid to intelligence.

To install devices with a grounding contact, low-current sockets, dimmers, competent installation of electrical wiring in the apartment is required. Price

work will depend on the scope of work. The M-Smart Series products expand the choice of mechanisms to provide a single solution in the application of installation products.

Innovative power supply

Intelligent system control devices help reduce energy costs in private homes:

· heating;

· lighting;

· security;

· ventilation;

· energy consumption.

The light controller analyzes the readings of a built-in sensor that measures the presence of natural light inside the house. Based on the processed data, it automatically turns off and turns on the lamps and adjusts their brightness.

Competent electrical services are necessary for the correct installation of automatic power supply equipment in a cottage or country house. Proper connection of the device allows you to save 50% of electricity.

For lighting an internal space of 100 m2, consumers save more than 5,000 rubles annually. Thanks to automatic cottage electrician

eliminates voltage surges.

Smart lighting

The use of special equipment equipped with sensors that respond to human presence and movement helps residents automate the function of turning on the lights in the apartment. The “smart” device monitors changes in the infrared spectrum in the room.

The equipment turns on artificial light in case of insufficient natural light. For installation and connection of an intelligent installation, apartment owners use electrical services, since the nuances of the power supply project must be clearly developed for the system.

Proper operation of the device guarantees energy savings of up to 60% compared to traditional waste.

Intelligent time relay

The use of a time relay allows you to automatically start, delay or turn off electrical circuits at a specified time or perform functions at a specified interval.

The modern market is replete with a variety of time relays for simultaneous control of several objects. There are options with the ability to program weekly cycles of connection and shutdown of such devices:

heating supply;

· lighting distribution;

· audio distribution.

Electrical services will be required to connect the device and its initial setup. Self-connection results in false operation of the device and lack of response. Depending on the area of the room, the scope of work, the cost of electrician services

different.

The craftsmen will competently connect, install electrical appliances, perform electrical installations, and provide consultations. Your “smart” home will be cozy and comfortable.

Interesting texture

Pay attention to textures - in minimalist interiors they occupy an even more important place than color. At the same time, it is better to refuse intricate relief textures - they may look somewhat outdated. But the matte details look unusual and at the same time very stylish.

Where to begin

The first step is to replace the aluminum wire with copper. Since aluminum becomes brittle over time, and the insulation on such conductors is destroyed, these factors lead to a loss of electricity in the apartment or to spontaneous fire in emergency areas. In addition, a copper conductor has lower internal resistance compared to the same one made of aluminum. That is, a copper wire is capable of passing more current through itself, and therefore powering a more powerful load.

It is worth considering that for lighting you need to take a wire with a smaller cross-section of 1-1.5 mm, for powering sockets you need to choose a 2.5 mm wire, and to connect an electric oven and oven you will have to choose a cross-section of 4-6 mm.

By the way, by combining wires in this way, you can save a lot of money when purchasing material. It is best to take a copper cable for electrical wiring - VVGng, single-core insulation that does not support combustion. If your budget allows, you can use an NYM cable for the electrical network; this conductor is made using German technology and has double insulation that does not support combustion and smoke. Important properties of these cables are that they do not support combustion, which is very important for the safety of modern housing.

Before you begin replacing the wiring, you need to draw up a wiring diagram. It will take into account the nuances and number of sockets, lamps, switches, sensors, and their location in the apartment. Cable TV wire, Internet and telephone cables are also part of the electrical wiring. At the same time, when designing a smart home, it is also necessary to provide communication wires with all possible alarm sensors, in particular their relative position.

Important! A modern wiring diagram is drawn up in a special program, which can be either paid or free. We reviewed the best programs for drawing electrical circuits in a separate publication to which we referred.

For convenience in repairing or maintaining electrical wiring, you need to distribute the lines into groups of consumers and protect each with a separate machine. In simple words, run more than one wire to the entire apartment, as was done before, but extend cables from the switchboard into each room, one for sockets (from 2.5 sq. mm) and one for lighting fixtures. Connect the sockets in the room according to a star pattern. Therefore, in the panel of a modern cottage you can see several automatic devices for lighting, sockets, a separate automatic switch for an electric stove, outbuildings, etc. We talked about how to divide electrical wiring into groups.

Important: If three phases enter the house, you also need to distribute the load among the phases, as evenly as possible.

SMD mounting equipment

Surface mount assembly equipment suppliers are launching new products that can store large amounts of production data. Automation technologies are increasingly used in industry, which means there is increased demand for high-performance equipment for assembling SMD components. Global analysts say that sales of this type of equipment will grow by 6% between 2022 and 2023.

More data in Big Data

Big Data is one of the most popular (together with “Internet of Things” and “cloud computing”) terms in modern technology. Combined with these two technologies, increased cost efficiency and the ease of use of modern analytical algorithms, it also becomes an increasingly useful tool.

Electronic device manufacturers can gain better and faster insight into their business with robust, simplified algorithms that can capture data from multiple sources and analyze it in near real-time. Product development and innovation are enhanced by the free flow of this truly valuable information.

Using the supply chain

The primary way to gain competitive advantage without cutting prices is to leverage and optimize your supply chain. New technologies will help simplify and improve the management of the entire chain, which provides a significant competitive advantage. Optimization of production processes, logistics and distribution networks, as well as methods of stockpiling, will lead to a reduction in the operating costs of the enterprise. This means that you can sell your products at a lower price without losing money.

In addition to optimization, supply chain manufacturers focus on sales and operations planning, business analysis, purchasing and more. This strategy has been growing among manufacturers for several years now. Industrial companies have begun to digitize their supply chains and up to 70% of them will do this by 2020.

Finding employees will become more difficult

Unfortunately, not all trends in this sector are optimistic. The constant development of technologies used in production means that the skills of employees will also have to increase. Qualified employees must have an increasingly broad knowledge of both modern technology systems and electronic marketing.

There are several ways that companies use to attract more qualified employees. Some of them are focused on introducing high-quality training to current workers and strengthening the attachment with the most key ones - programmers, data analysts and so on, as well as the ability to hire these people on a permanent basis.

So if you are a business owner in the electronics industry, these are the points you need to pay attention to in order to make it even more successful in 2022.

Transition from B2B to B2B2C

There has been a big change in the electronic device manufacturing business model. Many companies have moved from a business-to-business (B2B) model to a more complex business-to-business (B2B2C or business-to-business) model.

This allows consumers to benefit from direct sales - one of which is control of the market. By selling products to consumers without third-party intermediaries, they retain full control over their brand and price. Other companies have no room to change or weaken the brand when the product goes directly to the consumer. Moreover, a business can collect additional sales data that will build a better sales and marketing strategy for future use.

And also reduce advertising costs or eliminate them altogether, focusing on the quality and price of the product, rather than wasting up to half of the budget on often completely ineffective advertising campaigns.

Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a huge asset for manufacturers who are eager to use it. The term refers to connected computer devices and circuits such as security systems, cars, lamps, alarm clocks, audio centers and so on. They work by connecting to each other over the Internet to send and receive data. Using this feature increases the efficiency of such systems and reduces their operating costs.

As many analysts believe, with IoT, manufacturing profitability should increase in new products. About 30% of modern devices currently already use this technology. This not only improves their operational efficiency and reduces operating costs, but also leaves plenty of room for innovation in new features and capabilities. It is this direction that will be further emphasized in the publication of materials on Radioskot.ru.

Flexible electrical circuits at 5G speed

All kinds of “smart bracelets” have become very popular recently. They are constantly being upgraded and equipped with new features. Further global changes are coming very soon. America has already developed the world's most flexible electrical circuit. It has an unusual design - two lines intertwined in a chain, forming S-shaped bends. Thanks to this shape, the lines can stretch without loss of performance. In addition, they are well protected from external influences. The transmission of electromagnetic waves occurs in a certain frequency range - up to 40 GHz.
