cEDM attended the “4th European Expert Workshop on Reliability of Electronics and Smart Systems” in Berlin. About 30 reliability experts from mainly industrial companies attended this workshop which is the annual forum for addressing the concerns of reliability, robustness, and functional safety of new products and technologies in the field of electronics and smart systems. It makes further research requirements on reliability methodology clearly visible, not only to the electronics packaging community but also to the representatives of funding agencies at national and European levels.
The first day of the workshop was dedicated to latest results on reliability research presented by the experts. The second day The second elaborated on the research direction concerning functional safety and system availability, i.e., on new methods for self-diagnostics, predictive and preventive maintenance. Right now, these subjects receive massive attention as they are seen as key enablers of many of the new application scenarios: Autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, Smart grid and other smart infra-structure solutions.
Finally, a roadmap for Prognostic Health Monitoring (PHM) is defined during the meeting which will guide the research in the coming years.
