Farnell, an Avnet Company and global distributor of electronic components, products and solutions, has today released the second episode in its new global podcast series, The Innovation Experts, featuring test and measurement giants Tektronix and Keithley Instruments.

As Tektronix and Keithley celebrate their 75th anniversary, the brand new podcast episode explores how both companies have helped drive innovation in some of the world’s leading industries. Brad Odhner, Technical Marketing Manager at Keithley Instruments, joins Farnell’s Global Head of Technical Marketing and electrical engineer Cliff Ortmeyer to discuss emerging trends and cutting-edge techniques in test and measurement. Brad explains how engineers can use a broad range of test equipment to overcome present and future challenges to fast-track new product development.

With new episodes released every few weeks, The Innovation Experts podcast will cover topics including how test and measurement equipment enables innovation at tiny start-ups right through to large blue-chip organisations and how cutting-edge test tools support innovative battery design for electric vehicles.
