The Electronics Industry has grown so quickly over the last 10 years providing a challenge to the Reliability experts in defining the appropriate types of accelerated testing to induce inherent weaknesses in design and manufacture. The ‘Bathtub Curve’ is still accepted within the industry as a means of separating Early Life Reliability from Long Life… Continue Reading
One of most difficult things to do in Electronic Design is finding a method to evaluate Design Quality & Reliability with a simple KPI. There are many software packages to enable component count / stress measurement which act as an indicator towards failure level, but there is rarely any correlation. Reliability Solutions has designed a… Continue Reading
Too many companies ignore the fact that most electronic products will have some form of Early Life failure rate which exceeds the expected average Intrinsic failure rate during the same period. They also do not realise that stimulating the early life defects require different types of stress testing as the defect mechanisms can be completely… Continue Reading
MOD Reliability Improvement programmes are now a major part of the MOD Procurement Programme. The MOD Suppliers now have to realise improvements in their Reliability Assurance activities and are now faced with the need to develop Accelerated Test Solutions that will provide Statistically Relevant Failure Rate Predictions as opposed to paperwork Mil-Std Reliability assessments. Reliability… Continue Reading
Did you know that 80% of Electronic Product Failure Reasons (Components, Process Issues, Design Issues) are found in their Volume Manufacturing Phase, hence using the appropriate model enables Field Fail Rate prediction from Manufacturing Process Yield data. Reliability Solutions can design the model for you that will show good correlation with Real Life Field Fail… Continue Reading
Do you realise LCD TV Failure Rates are much lower that what the average consumer expects and therefore cost the Manufacturer Less Money to service in the field Learn from reliability Solutions how the LCD TV manufacturers develop such strong Reliability Test programmes to detect Design and Component weaknesses during the Design Cycle to provide… Continue Reading
