Chicago, IL― April 22, 2021­―Industrial Representatives, Inc., (IRI) announces today the official rollout of its new Digital Rep Platform, a design enablement platform, created exclusively for design engineers who want faster-time-to-market, the ability to eliminate guesswork and streamline the steps of testing, evaluation, and performance early in the product development cycle.


Initially, the Digital Rep Platform offers a pair of breakout boards that enable the quick performance evaluation of the Vishay (market leader in electronic components) VSMB2020 infrared LED and VEMT2023 infrared photo transistor sensors; a breakout board designed to fit either Vishay’s TCRT5000 or VCNT2020 infrared reflective sensors; and, an infrared remote control adaptor featuring the TSOP77438 IR Receiver and VSMB2948 IR Transmitter, which is optimized for media center applications on a Raspberry Pi.


“Frankly, many useful sensors are available in small packages and difficult to quickly evaluate on performance—an overlooked area in the early stages of the product development cycle. With the Digital Rep Platform, we augment the engineer’s toolbox to help design engineers save time, money, and eliminate risk downstream,” says IRI design engineer, Josh Hulbert.


“In our role as technology sales representatives, we deliver tools to our customers built around our principals’ market-leading technologies. Design engineers need more flexibility to identify and modify design challenges early on,” says Matt Mitchell, president of IRI. “Soon, we will expand capability in performance evaluation for ultraviolet LED products, as well.”


About IRIIRI serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) through advanced technology sales and design enablement services, selling across multiple verticals from aerospace, appliances, automotive, consumer, and computing to industrial, IoT, lighting, medical, military, and telecommunications.

One aspect that often gets overlooked with digital evaluation platforms is how much they improve collaboration between hardware, firmware, and test teams during the earliest design stages. When everyone can work from the same validated evaluation setup, design revisions tend to become more consistent and easier to document, which can reduce issues later in production. That also highlights the value of continuous learning through resources that explain professional qualifications examples, since understanding recognised technical standards and competencies helps engineers make better-informed decisions as new development tools become part of everyday workflows.

Digital drafting and technical design skills are useful in many engineering and construction industries today. Some learners explore autocad course options to better understand technical drawing, 2D drafting, and design software tools. Building practical knowledge in these areas may support long-term professional development.
