Letzte Woche hatte unser Kollege Gunter Mößinger die Gelegenheit, bei der GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research über die bedeutenden Themen #Fehleranalysen, #Obsoleszenzmanagement und #Langzeitlagerung zu sprechen, insbesondere im Kontext von langfristigen Experimenten. Es war eine großartige Möglichkeit, unsere Lösungsansätze von ALTER | HTV zu präsentieren. Vielen Dank an die GSI Helmholtz Centre und alle Teilnehmer für den interessanten Austausch!
Last week of June: Two days, three presentations and lots of networking and tech-talk. Tuesday started with a presentation at GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Wixhausen near Darmstadt about failure analysis in electronics manufacturing with methods such as #XRAY, #CT, #SAM, #microscopy and show insights how we at ALTER | HTV dive into the failures to find the rootcause and help our customers avoiding them in the future. As second topic the #obsolescence and #longtermstorage had been presented, because some complex experiments can take more than a decade from designing, manufacturing, test/experiment perfoming to evaluation of all data. So if something wears down or breaks during this period, spare parts are needed. With fast developing measurement systems, computers and PLCs it is hard and challenging to keep experiments running for such long spans. Afterwards started the travel to VCC | Vogel Convention Center in Würzburg for the "Technologietage Leiterplatte und Baugruppe", where on Wednesday, the audience had the chance to learn the pros and cons of storing single components and chips vs. storing complete PCBAs, modules and assemblies and how the TAB long term storage process addresses aging effects. Pro-tip: Know the obsolescence status of your BOM and shortly think about having to run your exact process for another 10 years without problems (hardware/software/personnel obsolescence) P.S. Gordon Freeman would be proud of GSI, because their experiments are safe and won't open a portal into a different dimension. #HalfLife 😉 Also huge respect for their research and for how their findings improved cancer treatment and saved lots of lives!
