Making a product smart and connected opens possibilities but also raises questions: what do our customers really need? What value do we need to offer? How to reduce risks? What technology and expertise are needed? How to establish a successful business?In this workshop we introduce a system engineering based methodology to master the fuzzy front-end of smart product development which we call the New Product Exploration stage. In this stage the stakeholder’s needs and problems and their potential solutions are explored. It addresses key questions like: \n\n\n\n– How can we obtain a validated solution concept efficiently without cost and time budget overruns. \n\n\n\n– What expertise and capabilities do we need to develop\, produce and manage the life-cycle of the smart product solution? After a short introduction to system life-cycle stages and processes\, the New Product Exploration methodology is introduced based on the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and 24784-1 system engineering. We discuss how the problems and needs of stakeholders can be explored and how a solution can be validated.In a second part we focus on the organization developing the system solution. What are the capabilities an organziation needs to have to be able to develop smart products and create a successful business with and/or around a smart product\, and what is the status of these capabilities? What is the status of our product development and its life-cycle management? We will present an organization and product maturity assessment tool. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n13h30A System Engineering Approach to Smart Product Exploration.Geert Willems – imec14h20System Engineering Based Smart Product Exploration.Thomas De Meester – imec15h30Networking and tool demonstration\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n A System Engineering Approach to Smart Product Exploration\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 6.93 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n System Engineering Based Smart Product Exploration\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4.88 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Our approach is based on the System Engineering methodology developed by the INCOSE consortium of system engineering\, that is consolidated in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-1 standards. The goal is to minimize the “fuzziness” in the smart product exploration and validation.In this “Solution Space Exploration and Validation” we address the fuzzy front-end of product development which transforms first ideas of a (smart) product-based solution into a validated concept upon which a Product Requirements Document (PRD) can be based. The PRD forms the basis of the product’s architecture definition\, the first phase of the actual product development.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n A System Engineering Approach to Smart Product Exploration: System Analysis\, Verification and Validation\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 836.34 KB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Solution Space and Concept Validation\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.91 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Bart Vandevelde (imec) will present as project leader a summary of the main results of this project. \n\n\n\nRainer Dudek (Fraunhofer ENAS) will present unique results of a real-life thermal cycling test lasting already for more than eight years. His results allow to benchmark the different acceleration models (such as Norris-Landzberg) to the real test failure data. \n\n\n\nPiet Watté(Signify) will present how Signify\, previously known as Philips Lighting\, deals with engineering models to predict the lifetime for products such as LED drivers. \n\n\n\nWhere reliability is related to the lifetime under normal operating conditions\, the robustness of a product expresses the product’s capability of withstanding product life cycle conditions that go beyond normal\, as-designed conditions. Geert Willems (imec)\, will discuss how to augment the robustness of electronics and will introduce InProVoL’s Design-for-Robustness and Robustness Testing and Qualification guidelines. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00Welcome14h10Reliability by design approach for life time prediction of electronic systems (INPROVOL project summary) Bart Vandevelde – imec14h40Challenging the acceleration factor models by a Long-Term life Testing on a soldered board assemblyRainer Dudek\, Fraunhofer ENAS15h10  Engineering model for the life prediction of LED drivers Piet Watté – Signify15h40Design-for-Robustness for electronicsGeert Willems – imec16h10Q&A\, networking and booth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 32\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 398.86 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Reliability by Design Approach for Life Time Prediction of Electronic Systems\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3.72 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Challenging the Acceleration Factor Models by a Long-Term Life Testing on a Soldered Board Assembly\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.97 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Engineering Model for the Life Prediction of LED Drivers\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.82 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Design-for-Robustness for Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.61 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

As long as these systems are operating in a human-less environment\, like enclosed surroundings in a factory\, they are readily accepted. However\, people lack trust in autonomous systems if their own safety is dependent on a machine’s correct operation. Whenever someone mentions self-driving cars\, the question of safety is raised immediately. Even though the widespread introduction of autonomous vehicles would almost eliminate the more-than 20.000 deaths on European roads each year\, it will not happen until we can provide the assurance that these systems will be safe and perform as intended\, no matter what.Unfortunately\, existing safety assurance approaches and standards are developed primarily for systems where a human can take over in case of emergency and\, hence\, do not extend to fully autonomous systems. What’s more\, current safety assurance approaches generally assume that once the system is deployed\, it will not learn or evolve by itself. This ignores many of the new safety challenges that come along with autonomous systems: unsafe software behavior\, open-context nature\, functional insufficiencies\, human-machine interaction\, just to name a few.This talk will introduce the latest evolutions in the area of safety assurance of autonomous systems\, including: Safety of the Intended Function\, dynamic safety assurance\, safety monitors\, run-time safety cases\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Safety Assurance of Autonomous Systems \n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4.69 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Safety Assurance of Autonomous Systems – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 33.93 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Electronics is everywhere. This seminar provides basic insight in the technology and production processes of a key part of all electronics: the Printed Circuit Board that connects the electronic components in an electronic assembly. To understand the relationship between cost\, quality and reliability of electronics\, it is mandatory to have a basic understanding of the capabilities and the limitations of the PCB technology as well as the factors that drive cost and quality. This seminar provides a basic step towards this understanding. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nReception13h00 – Start 13h15\n\n\n\nWelcome at ACB by Joachim Verhegge (ACB)A short presentation of ACB.\n\n\n\nPCB technology basics by Joachim Verhegge (ACB)Introduction to PCB manufacturing technology discussing the basic materials and PCB manufacturing processes:lithography\, etching\, lamination\, drilling\, plating\, solder mask deposition\, finishing\, inspection.

Space agencies like ESA prefer flight-proven technologies in their spacecraft and require extensive equipment testing and qualification to guarantee reliability. Adhering to flight-proven technologies has drawbacks. A highly performing\, reliable solution without adaptation to the technological evolution does not remain performant nor reliable in the 21st century’s technological and operational context. This workshop will provide insight in the status of space electronics design and manufacturing for ESA spacecraft and on the steps to take to create better electronics for future ESA space missions. \n\n\n\nJussi Hokka of ESA will discuss the challenges and the impact that imposes the trend towards more complex and densely populated electronic assemblies\, the increasing operating temperature and the lead-ban on space electronics in the coming five to ten years. \n\n\n\nA highly integrated spacecraft control unit is crucial to succeed in the system design of small satellites with high autonomy as Proba-V. Steven De Cuyper of QinetiQ will explain the development and manufacturing of such electronics per ESA procedures and standards. \n\n\n\nCertain well-proven technologies required by these ESA standards put severe limits to the use of modern industrially well-proven technologies in space electronics. Geert Willems of imec will identify these limiting technologies\, their background and the alternatives that allow building lower weight\, better performing\, more reliable and more environmentally friendly space electronics at a lower cost. \n\n\n\nAssessing the environmental impact of space missions is taking a bigger role in mission development for ESA. Electronics is identified as one of the environmental hot spots in spacecrafts. An Vercalsteren of VITO will illustrate this as well as some eco-design alternatives based on the ESA GreenSat study using Proba-V as a reference case. \n\n\n\nMore complex and denser electronic assemblies require the use of PCB substrates that use microvia\, high aspect ratio core vias and small track widths and spacing.  Joachim Verhegge of ACB will discuss this High-Density Interconnect (HDI) demand and the balanced approach between capabilities and reliability required for space electronics \n\n\n\n\n\n\n14h00Welcome14h10ESA’s view on Space Electronics requirements and future needs.Jussi Hokka – ESA14h30 Electronics for earth orbit satellite missions: Proba-V Steven De Cuyper – QinetiQ15h00Improving Space Electronics: a review of opportunitiesGeert Willems – imec15h20Life Cycle Assessment and eco-design of the PROBA-V space mission focus on space electronicsAn Vercalsteren\, VITO15h40High-density Printed Circuit Boards for Space ElectronicsJoachim Verhegge\, ACB16h00Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 31\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 184.59 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Electronics for Earth Orbit Satellite Missions: Proba-V\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 929.80 KB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Improving Space Electronics: A Review of Opportunities\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.07 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Life Cycle Assessment and Eco-design of the PROBA-V Space Mission\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.94 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n High-Density Printed Circuit Boards for Space Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.71 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

With HALT\, one will stress the product far beyond its operational specifications in order to quickly find and fix the weakest points in the design. As such\, HALT stimulates failures in contrast to conventional\, accelerated environmental tests which are pass/fail tests that try to simulate the normal\, expected environment that the product will encounter (design verification tests). As such\, HALT allows to drastically increase the operational margins of the product and\, hence\, the over-all reliability of the product. In this presentation we will give an overview of how a typical HALT tests is done as well as the main do’s and don’ts. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Highly Accelerated Life Testing\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.98 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Highly Accelerated Life Testing – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 26.54 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

A traditional product development approach applying experience based (conservative) design rules and extensive qualification tests is obsolete. A high level of predictive power regarding manufacturability\, supply chain readiness\, quality and reliability\, cost\, etc. is demanded from an agile New Product Introduction methodology for Smart Products. Geert Willems\, imec\, will present the basic elements of a Predictive NPI approach as well as its practical implementation. \n\n\n\nShort time-to-market for new products and rapid scale-up of production\, keeping product cost low and quality high\, are especially challenging for a startup company. To accomplish this allóra Factory works intensively together with imec’s\, Center of Electronics Design & Manufacturing (cEDM) from imec. Tom De Ryck will present allóra Factory’s NPI process and how they leverage the cEDM offering. \n\n\n\nTo transform a Smart Product idea into a prototype and industrial product rapidly one needs to know the manufacturing capabilities. Involving manufacturing knowledge and experience is imperative. Eurocircuits\, a local prototype Printed Circuit Board supplier\, introduced the philosophy of “The Optimum Design Flow” and offers its online “Smart Menus”\, “DRC-“ and “DFM functionality” for this purpose. Dirk Stans will explain how these tools facilitate the rapid\, low cost production of prototypes “Right First Time” within budget and on time. \n\n\n\nFrom the perspective of an internationally operating OEM company\, Lena Eeckhout\, Barco\, will elaborate further on the challenges of matching electronic product design to the capabilities of multiple manufacturing suppliers. She will explain on how the concept of the “Printed Board Assembly (PBA) passport” opens the doors to an international supply chain. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00Introduction14h05Predictive New Product Introduction for Smart ProductsGeert Willems\, imec14h35New Product Introduction Process in a Startup CompanyTom De Ryck\, allóra Factory15h05 Think before you act\, leads to “right first time”Dirk Stans\, Eurocircuits15h35World Wide NPI: the PBA Passport opens the manufacturing doorsLena Eeckhout\, Barco16h05The Smart Product InitiativeBas Rottier\, Sirris\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n EDM Workshop 30 program\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 223.94 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 30\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 315.78 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Predictive New Product Introduction for Smart Products\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.58 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n New Product Introduction Process in a Startup Company\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3.17 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Think Before You Act\, Leads to “Right First Time”\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 5.02 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n World Wide NPI: the PBA Passport Opens the Manufacturing Doors\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.44 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Smart Product Initiative\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 643.56 KB\n \n \n Login to download.

The main gain lies in the testing time. The four point bending stresses the interconnections in a similar way as in thermal cycling\, but as the test can be performed at constant temperature\, the cycle rate can be easily increased without the issue of heating and cooling the total thermal mass.In this webinar\, we will explain the concept for four-point bending cycling of soldered components and how it can be related to thermal cycling. Also test results for CSP and QFN components will be shown\, which proofs the usefulness of this alternative testing approach.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bending Cycling as Fast Alternative for Thermal Cycling \n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.80 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bending Cycling as Fast Alternative for Thermal Cycling – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 23.82 MB\n \n \n Download URL:https://edmforum.eu/event/webinar-10four-point-bending/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20180621T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20180621T110000 DTSTAMP:20260709T052120 CREATED:20231212T224241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T101208Z UID:1937-1529577000-1529578800@edmforum.eu SUMMARY:Webinar 2018-6-21: Mission Profiles of Electronics DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tania Drissen – Sirris \n\n\n\nProduct reliability is gaining importance because of today’s increasing overall complexity of products. In a product’s design for reliability knowing the actual loads that will act on the product during its lifetime is key. The life cycle profile describes these different loads and their variation over time throughout the entire product life. This lifecycle profile guideline provides a step-by-step approach to identify all relevant life cycle phases\, situations and loads for a physical system. It aims to be a methodology for product designers who want to pursue a design for reliability approach for their current and future products. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mission Profiles of Electronic Products\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3.78 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mission profiles of Electronic Products – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 24.47 MB\n \n \n Login to download.
