Global Labor Rates Comparison Shows China is No Longer the Low-cost Labor Market
10/18/2022
The Reshoring Institute has published major research on global labor rates in 12 countries, comparing production workers, machine operators, manufacturing supervisors, and managers. China can no longer be considered a low-cost labor country, as its labor rates have significantly increased. The lowest-cost countries in the study are now India, Mexico, and Vietnam. While there are even lower-cost areas of the world, the Reshoring Institute focused its study on where most manufacturers are moving to now, after leaving China.

The Cost of Production Line Audio Testing
10/13/2022
There are many dimensions to the cost of a test system. There is the direct cost of the test system, but that should be balanced against how quickly products can be tested. A low-cost, but slow test system is obviously not economical. But there are many other unapparent costs:
- The accuracy and repeatability of the measurements
- Ease-of-use
- Support, service, and hardware reliability
- Comparability between R&D and production lines
