SUMMARY:EDM Workshop 30: Smart NPI
DESCRIPTION:Smart products that build-up the Internet of Things are often highly innovative and mandate a short time-to-market. 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product development approach applying experience based (conservative) design rules and extensive qualification tests is obsolete.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.

SUMMARY:Webinar 2018-9-13: Bending Cycling as Fast Alternative for Thermal Cycling 
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bart Vandevelde (imec) \n\n\n\nIn particular for testing of the board level interconnect reliability of components\, bending cycling can be an interesting alternative for regular thermal cycling. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Flanders Make: Mechatronics 4.0 - Masterclass V
DESCRIPTION:Best practices toward robust sensing & control of your system\n\n\n\nThe Mechatronica 4.0 project aims to help Flemish companies to put the Industry 4.0 philosophy into practice. Sensing and control technology will be a key feature of the next generation of autonomous\, safety and inspection systems\, and it is the focus of our next Mechatronics 4.0 Masterclass. The aim of this masterclass is to inform you about the possibilities of sensing and control systems\, to provide you insights into how to integrate these systems into products or production systems and how to develop them in an effective way. \n\n\n\n\n\nTypical questions that will be addressed during the masterclass: \n\n\n\n\nWhich control technique fits my application?\n\n\n\nWhat can learning control add to my product?\n\n\n\nWhich hardware and toolchain can I use to develop my system?\n\n\n\nHow do I put model-based control design into practise.

SUMMARY:EDM Workshop 29: Flexibel Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Flexible substrates have found their way into a wide range of applications\, even if we are not always aware of it. With the benefits of adaptability to 3D shapes\, multiple bendability\, compact design and weight reduction comes the complexity of the design and manufacturing of flexible electronics. \n\n\n\nThese benefits have led to an increased demand in flex and flex-rigid PCBs. Joachim Verhegge of PCB manufacturer ACB explains the specifics of flex and flex-rigid substrate design and manufacturing. \n\n\n\nFlex substrates provides the advantage of reducing the amount of cables and connectors combined with the integration of electronic components. The presentation of Daniel Thommen of Microdul gives an overview and examples of SMT and Chip-On-Board assembly processes on flexible substrates and its challenges. \n\n\n\nWim Christiaens of Quad will introduce us – among others – to membrane switch technology and innovative printed sensor solutions. He will show promising applications for printed electronics such as smart automotive surfaces and electronic medical patches. \n\n\n\nFrederick Bossuyt of CMST will give an overview of the developments on stretchable electronics. On one hand\, elastically deformable circuits suitable for wearable applications and on the other hand one-time deformable electronic circuits opening new possibilities for user interfaces\, lighting\, etc. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h30IntroductionAdvantages and challenges of flex-rigid PCB TechnologyJoachim Verhegge\, CPO – ACBAssembly Challenges using Flex Substrates.Daniel Thommen\, Head Module Development – Microdul AGChallenges and opportunities in printed electronics manufacturingWim Christiaens\, R&D Director – Quad IndustriesStretchable circuitsFrederick Bossuyt\, teamleader – imec/uGent16h45Visit Demo Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        EDM Workshop 29 program\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  155.52 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                        Advantages and Challenges of Flex-Rigid PCB Technology\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  1.67 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                        Assembly Challenges Using Flex Substrates\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  1.13 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                        Challenges and Opportunities in Printed Electronics Manufacturing\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.82 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                        Stretchable Circuits\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  4.47 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

Therefore\, the availability and operationability of the smart application depends critically on the reliability of the build-in electronics. The smart products are often highly innovative and mandate a short time-to-market. A traditional product development approach applying (conservative) design rules and extensive qualfication tests based on field experience is obsolete. An agile New Product Introduction methodology is required. The basic elements of such an NPI approach – Physics-of-Failure\, science based technology qualification and virtual prototyping – will be presented. \n\n\n\n14:45 – 15:15: Smart productivity: data analytics optimizing machine uptime and maintenance (Sofie Van Hoecke – Ugent & imec)15:15 – 16:00: Smart connectivity: Materials\, machinery and product flow monitoring (Eli De Poorter – Ugent & imec)16:00 Mogelijkheid om de beurs te bezoeken

SUMMARY:Expert Discussion Forum: Can electronics sense its own health?
DESCRIPTION:In the frame of the preparation of an SBO (‘strategisch basisonderzoek’) project proposal\, we would like to invite industrial research and technical experts in the field of electronics design to support us in defining the research objectives and end goal(s) of the project.The project lies in the field of Prognostic Health Monitoring (PHM) for electronic systems. PHM is a key enabling technology where the extent of degradation is monitored in a self-learning electronic system providing early warning of failure and a Remaining Useful Life time estimation. The solution we aim for is based on a hybrid approach. On one side\, we add sensors to the systems that are measuring direct or indirect physical degradation of the system. On the other side\, all relevant electrical and mission profile data is collected over time and leads to self-learning systems able to predict their own health\, or the health of similar systems elsewhere in the field.It is obvious that this is an extremely challenging objective and that the project needs focus to be realistic within the budget and time restrictions. We also aim for project results that are relevant and useful for the local industry at the end of the project\, allowing for implementation in your technologies. Logical next steps for industrial valorisation after the SBO project are O&O (Onderzoek en Ontwikkeling) projects. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\nPresentations introducing the topic:“How the world moves\, step by step\, from Fides/Mil (constant failure rate) towards Physics of Failure based life time predictions for electronic systems” (Geert Willems\, imec) \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Physics-of-Failure Based Reliability Assessment of Electronics\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  1 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download. \n                    \n                \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n“Data-driven system health monitoring” (Elena Tsiporkova\, Sirris) \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Data-driven system health monitoring\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download. \n                    \n                \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n“State of the art on Prognostic Health Monitoring for Electronic Systems” (Bart Vandevelde\, imec) \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        State of the art on Prognostic Health Monitoring for Electronic Systems\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  709 KB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download. \n                    \n                \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n“Towards PHM self-awareness – share some experience from the mechanical world” (Jeroen Firlefijn\, Atlas Copco) \n\n\n\n\nOpen discussion on\n\nCommon electronics reliability challenges\n\n\n\nSense and need for upcoming failure sensing\n\n\n\nExpectation from the industry for a strategic basic research (SBO) project focusing on near-failure sensing of electronics\n\n\n\nValorisation of SBO project results through industrial O&O projects\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion / Next steps\n\n\n\n\nLocatie: Sirris Gent\, Technologiepark 935\, Zwijnaarde

SUMMARY:Webinar 2018-3-1: New Solder Joint Compositions: a Literature Review on Reliability
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bart Vandevelde and Riet Labie – imec \n\n\n\nIn the first years after the introduction of the RoHS directive in 2006\, SnAgCu (SAC) with Ag percentage between 3 and 4.5% was the main solder composition used by the industry to replace SnPb solder. However\, in the recent years\, many new lead-free compositions were and are being introduced by the industry. This can be triggered by cost reasons (e.g. lower Ag content)\, a lower process temperature or to improve the reliability.In this webinar\, we will give an overview on the thermal cycling and mechanical shock reliability of these new compositions\, based on studies published in literature. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        New Solder Joint Compositions: a Literature Review on Reliability\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  3.18 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 Solder Joint Compositions: a Literature Review on Reliability – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  15.44 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:EDM Workshop 28: Reliable Electronics for Aerospace
DESCRIPTION:Challenges of segmented supply chains in component qualification for space \n\n\n\nIn the past\, homogeneous Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) were responsible for electrical\, electronic and electromechanical part development and manufacturing. Over the last 20 years things have changed\, many manufacturers only retain their core competence\, and heavily rely on outsourcing. The more this supply chain is segmented the more complex the qualification process becomes. This presentation focusses on the challenges of this segmented supply chain and how to deal with it in the qualification process. \n\n\n\nAutomatization for large solar panels assembly“Industry 4.0” technologies\, are developed to better control the processes to master product quality.Solar panels being a large subsystem they represent the opportunity to identify and address technology building blocks used elsewhere in every satellite while giving enough load to be automated in a facility.The “New Space” trend to cut down costs through a change of culture implies a new approach in our industry\, where both volumes are low and standards are tailored to address one-shot production. \n\n\n\nTechnological concepts for assembly of highly reliable electronic componentsSince 50 years\, FSL has contributed to aerospace programs with electronics where thick-film technology\, chip-and-wire processes and hermetic encapsulation are key technological drivers. Due to this experience\, FSL was certified from the DLR as assembly- and testhouse for power components. Today\, qualified power FET assemblies are available and the qualification for high-voltage diode assemblies is in progress. Currently\, motor-driver electronics for the EnMAP mission are in production. This presentation is highlighting some of the proven technological concepts as used for the assembly of electronics for aerospace applications. \n\n\n\nLight weight Hermetic PackagingLow weight is of crucial importance for anything that goes into space.The aerospace industry uses hermetic Au plated packages for housing ceramic based electronic devices and these packages are traditionally made of either heavy CuMo or CuW\, for matched thermal expansion.CPS Technologies offers a 40-60% lighter alternative in the form of hermetic packages made of AlSiC.Brazed ceramic or glass feedthrus can be used and these packages meet the requirements of Mil-PRF-38534. \n\n\n\nContribution of multiphysics simulation to reliable microsystem packagingFor a growing number of applications having to perform in demanding conditions such as high temperature pressure sensors\, automotive MEMS-micromirror\, vibration based energy harvester\, the need for high dimensional stability\, increased accuracy and predictable performances raises the standards for the design of microsystem devices. Whether in the vibration environment of a machine or the thermo-mechanical solicitations found in Microsystems\, this interdependency translates into a more frequent need of elaborate\, coupled\, Multiphysics analysis capabilities to study the devices’ interactions with their support\, package and environment during their design in order to increase their robustness. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n15h00Challenges of segmented supply chains in component qualification for spacePaavo Heiskanen – ESA15h30Automatization for large solar panels assemblyElie Dawidowicz – Thales Alenia Space16h00Technological concepts for assembly of highly reliable electronic componentsBenjamin Riedmueller – First Sensor17h00Light weight Hermetic PackagingGio Schouten – Semi Dice17h30Contribution of multiphysics simulation to reliable microsystem packagingPascal De Vincenzo\, Open Engineering18h00Networkiing – Clean Room visit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        iMAPS-Benelux Winter Event 2018 program\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  114.23 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                        Challenges of Segmented Supply Chains in Component Qualification for Space\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  3.51 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                        Automation of Space Solar Panels Assembly\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  984.13 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                        Reliable Electronics for Aerospace\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  3.32 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                        Aluminum Silicon Carbide – Description and Applications\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  19.81 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                        Contribution of Multiphysics Simulation to Reliable Microsystem Packaging\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  5.38 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:Webinar 2018-1-11: EMI Risk management
DESCRIPTION:Davy Pissoort – KU Leuven \n\n\n\nEveryone has already been confronted with Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)\, ranging from an annoying buzz in a stereo when receiving a phone call to a computer crashing during a lightning storm. Frustrating\, but not life threatening. However\, two trends warrant appropriate concern: (i) high-tech electronics is being used more and more for safety-related functions\, (ii) electronic devices are increasingly vulnerable to EMI because of a lower intrinsic immunity and an increasingly severe electromagnetic environment. Combined expertise in Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Functional Safety (FS) will gain huge importance in many sectors like automotive\, robotics medical\, railways\, avionics\,… Unfortunately\, EMC and FS have evolved separately and share no concepts nor terminology.EMI Risk Management must go well beyond the current state-of-the-art in classical EMC engineering.This webinar will guide you on how you should deal with EMI risks in your functional safety process for your electronic products. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        EMI Risk Management\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.27 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                        EMI Risk Management – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  37.25 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:EDM Event 2017: Security and Reliability of Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Electronics Everywhere\, Everything Connected\, Internet of Things (IoT)\, City of Things\, Industry 4.0 all imply a distributed network of a large number of electronic devices that must be able to handle confidential\, safety critical or other secured data in a reliable way. With 50 billion active devices by 2020 it is likely that security incidents will increase as well as the failure probability of the network. A high level of network availability throughout the envisaged operational lifetime is essential. Security and reliability of electronics is key for IoT. The relationship between both will be explored in this event. \n\n\n\nWe selected four speakers for you to highlight different security and reliability aspects.Ulrich Seldeslachts\, LSEC\, will explain you how to implement security-thinking into electronics design as well as the importance of the supply of qualified components and reliable electronics.The payment industry is characterized by a high level of security. With the rise of “always connected” devices\, the need for the same type of protection is emerging in a lot of other industries. Peter Timmermans\, ATOS Worldline\, will present the attacks against which we have to protect a payment terminal\, how this can be realized and what are the consequences of this type of precautions.Obviously\, electronic device failures are unwanted. Surprisingly\, the unique features of certain IC transistor failure mechanisms can be exploited to create low cost\, high security solutions. Thomas Kallstenius\, imec\, introduces you into the world of security embedding in Integrated Circuits.Electronics reliability is the main theme in today’s cEDM activities.

SUMMARY:Webinar 2017-11-8: Plated Through Hole Via Failure
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bart Vandevelde –  imec \n\n\n\nIn cEDM’s ‘reliability FMEA’ tool\, we listed about 15 different failure mechanisms which over time can lead to electrical malfunctioning of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) itself. One of the most dominant failures which are purely related to the PCB\, is fracturing of the copper plated through hole via’s. These are induced by the thermal expansion mismatch between the plated copper via and the surrounding epoxy/glass material. Due to this CTE mismatch\, the copper is stressed during solder reflow cycles and during operational temperature cycling. Both multiple solder reflows and numerous temperature cycles can lead to cracked via’s.In this webinar\, we will explain the basics of this PTH via failure mechanism\, what are the design and material parameters accelerating this failure and how the life time of your particular PCB with 100-1000 via’s can be calculated. This latter one is needed to finally guarantee that PTH via failures will not occur during the required life time of the PCB. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Plated Through Hole Via Failures: Is This a Risk for My Design?\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.40 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                        Plated Through Hole Via Failures: Is This a Risk for My Design? – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  26.70 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Download

SUMMARY:Flanders Make Second Seminar Day 2017: How do companies tackle technological hurdles?
DESCRIPTION:During this Seminar Day\, engineers\, researchers and R&D managers from the manufacturing industry will come together to learn more about the results of some of our recent projects. In 3 parallel sessions\, project managers and industrial partners will elaborate on their newly acquired knowledge and on concrete cases that help companies to innovate. Each track has its own focus. \n\n\n\n\n\nTrack 1 digs deeper into the re-conception of product development processes and joining technologies for new (multi-)materials.Track 2 develops Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)\, for intelligent development methods allowing interim virtual design validation.Track 3 combines 3 very diverse projects\, providing insights in new production technologies\, learning control and sensor monitoring. At the start of every session\, you can chose which track to follow and you can join as many sessions as you want.  \n\n\n\nEDM contribution \n\n\n\nTitle: PoF qualification: physical & virtual testing of electronic components and systemsAbstract: Before electronic systems can be launched on the market\, they must pass qualification tests according to international standards and customer-specified test programmes. Thermal and mechanical environmental loads are major causes for electronic system failures that also appear during these qualification tests. It is obvious that any failure detected in such tests is very expensive in terms of time and cost. Performing physical & virtual testing allows to find possible weak spots in the system in an early development phase when adaptations are still easy to make. In this seminar\, we will show several examples on how reliability testing and simulation are used to test the electronic components and systems from a thermal and mechanical point of view. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\n09h30 – 10h30 Welcome10h30 – 12h00– Multi-material joining techniques– Multi-physical monitoring for optimal mechatronic system design– Integrating a multi-axial machining centre and laser hardening for prototypes and small complex series12h – 13h Sandwich lunch13h – 15h– Metamaterials to provide lightweight NVH solutions: realization through thermoforming– Model-based conceptual design and synthesis– Learning control15h – 15h30 Coffee brea15h30 – 17h30– Utilising the full lightweight potential of sheet material products– How to design reliable & robust electronic products?– Cost-effective vibro-acoustic monitoring17h30 Networking drink \n\n\n\nParticipation fee:  \n\n\n\n\nFlanders Make member company: 50 € (95 € for the 2 sessions)\n\n\n\nNon-member company: 95 € (195 € for the 2 sessions)\n\n\n\n\nLocation: The Business Faculty\, Sint-Lendriksborre 6\, 1120 Neder-Over-Heembeek

SUMMARY:EDM Workshop 27: How Autonomous and Electric Cars Push the Need for More Reliable Electronics
DESCRIPTION:The automotive industry is facing two major evolutions in the coming years: the move towards autonomous driving and the transformation from combustion to 100% electric cars. It is obvious that these trends push the demand for more electronic components and systems\, but also increase the requirements towards reliability of these components/systems. In this workshop\, several stakeholders of the automotive electronics industry will show their view on how to deal with design for reliability (DfR)\, production\, standardisation and system integration of electronics in automotive products for which reliability is an essential property. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n13h00Welcome13h30Next Generation Approaches for Reliability of Automotive Smart SystemsPrzemyslaw Jakub Gromala – Robert BoschAutomotive electronic components qualification standards and guidelines: update of the current status.

SUMMARY:Webinar 2017-9-7: BOM-based Yield & Test Coverage Prediction of PBA
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Wesley Van Meensel – imec \n\n\n\nYour EMS supplier is delivering your requested Printed Board Assembly. But how certain are you about the quality of the PBA? What is the risk that your electronic module will not work after integrating it into your product or at the customer? What can we do during the design phase and how will testing help to reduce these risks?During this seminar we will give you a brief look on how you can quantify your quality or yield\, what the impact is of your production tests on that quality and how Pred-X can help you in improving your quality during the design stage.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        BOM-based Yield and Test Coverage Prediction of PBAs\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  1.46 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                        BOM-based Yield and Test Coverage Prediction of PBAs – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  20.04 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:The Flexible Factory: Industrial Assembly in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:The classical assembly line is coming to a stop. Enter flexible production! The assembly line was introduced in the early 1900s. It skyrocketed the productivity of workers\, for the first time allowing efficient mass production of standard products. The line timed and coordinated the actual production\, dividing the work into standard repetitive actions that required little explanation. But lately\, products have become smarter\, with customized and client-specific features. They no longer fit traditional mass production on a classical assembly line. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we need today are flexible factories\, factories where unique products can be assembled at a cost comparable to mass production. We are seeing the introduction of flexible\, digital factories\, where the status of each product is known at any time\, together with its next production steps. In such a factory\, the production configuration can be modified at any time and depending on product specifications. This flexibility is enabled through e.g. mobile robots and autonomous transport lines. For each product\, the optimal mix is determined between accurate and efficient automation and human intelligence and flexibility.In this seminar we will explore this flexible factory of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\n16h00: Welcome coffee16h30: Welcome (Marc Engels\, Chairman of the programme – COO Flanders Make)16h45: F3A -Free Float Flawless Assembly\, assembly of large components under flow conditions (Christoph Storm\, Research Assistant\, WZL RWTH – Aachen)17h15: Driving the Digital Enterprise (Bart Demaegdt\, Technology Manager Digitalization Siemens)17h45: Smart operators in a smart factory (Peter Verstraeten\, CEO Proceedix)18h15: Coffee break18h45: Combining strengths of humans and robots for better manufacturing (Bram Vanderborght\, Prof. Robotics & Multibody Mechanics research group VUB and member BruBotics)19h15: The Flexible Factory at Atlas Copco (Filip Vandenberghe\, Former President of the Airtec Division and Managing Director of Atlas Copco India)19h35: Q&A20h00: Networking with drinks and snacks \n\n\n\nParticipation fee:  \n\n\n\n\n135 euro (excl.

SUMMARY:EDM Workshop 26: Smart Textile
DESCRIPTION:The ubiquity of electronics has started and is imagined to increase even more. Future electronics are also expected to have a higher level of product integration with the boundaries between electronics and the remaining of the product less clearly defined. Electronics in textiles are a typical example of such integrated electronic devices. An intense collaboration between textile and electronic manufacturers is needed to develop new products with additional functionality and which remain manufacturable and reliable. During this workshop\, Televic and Sioen\, being an electronics oriented and a textile company and covering the two involved industrial areas\, will share their insights and steps into this market of “smart textiles”. Furthermore\, some practical examples and requirements for successful integration of electronics in textiles will be given by Centexbel and Imec\, which are both active in the research field of this new technology. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00The CareWare project: different industries working together on smart textilesPieter Crombez – TelevicSmart WearablesVera De Glas – SioenIntegration of electronincs on textiles by means of coating\, lamination\, adhesives or embeddingBrecht Demedts – CentexbelElectrical interconnections for electronics and textilesRiet Labie – imec16h30Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Intro EDM Workshop 26\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  333.12 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                        The CareWare Project: Different Industries Working Together on Smart Textiles\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.06 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                        Smart Wearables\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  1.64 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                        Integration of Electronincs on Textiles by Means of Coating\, Lamination\, Adhesives or Embedding\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  3.10 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                        Electrical Interconnections for Electronics and Textiles\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.19 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:Webinar 2017-6-1: System engineering
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tania Drissen- Sirris \n\n\n\nSystems engineering (SE) is a complete process with 24 sub-processes to turn an early stage business idea or need of a client into a working product or process that satisfies all expectations throughout its life cycle. In this approach mainly the “technical management” processes are well known and common practice (project planning\, risk management\, configuration management\, …). However\, some other\, often neglected aspects (thorough requirements definition\, verification\, information management\, …) are also indispensable to control budget\, timing and quality.This webinar outlines what systems engineering is and which specific aspects deserve attention.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Systems Engineering\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  5.97 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                        Systems Engineering – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  28.90 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:Electronics & Applications Beurs 2017: Toekomst van elektronicaproductie in de Benelux
DESCRIPTION:Hoe ziet de Benelux markt voor elektronica productie er over 10 jaar uit? Veel productie is vetrokken naar Azië en later naar Oost-Europa. Maar dit was zeker niet altijd succesvol. Reshoring is een nieuwe trend. Maar de vraag van OEM’ers is wel veranderd. Om te kunnen voldoen aan kleine series en snelle levertijden moeten EMS’ers veranderen in een ‘smart factory’. De sprekers geven hun kijk op de toekomst en laten door middel van praktische presentaties zien hoe zij zich voorbereiden op de toekomst. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEDM bijdrage: Donderdag 1 juni \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Competitief Elektronica Ontwerp en Assemblage dicht bij de klant\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download. \n                    \n                \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\nNa een periode van outsourcing van de elektronica assemblage naar het verre Oosten\, zien we meer en meer bedrijven de strategische beslissing nemen om productie dichter bij de (Westerse) klant te brengen. Geert Willems geeft zijn kijk op de redenen voor deze “re- of near-shoring”\, en hoe de kennis van alle processen en methodologieën\, vanaf het ontwerp tot bij de klant\, een belangrijke bijdrage levert tot het succes van deze bedrijven. De rol van Design-for-eXcellence\, modelering\, simulatie en virtuele prototyping wordt toegelicht aan de hand van enkele praktische voorbeelden. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocatie: Jaarbeurs Utrecht\, Jaarbeursplein\, 3521 AL Utrecht

SUMMARY:Webinar 2017-4-6: Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bart Vandevelde – imec \n\n\n\nBefore electronic systems can be brought on the market\, they must fulfill qualification tests according to international standards and customer specified test programs. Thermal and mechanical environmental loadings are major causes for electronic system failures that also appear during these qualification testing. It is obvious that any failure after such a test is very expensive in terms of time and cost. Performing virtual testing in a simulation environment allows to find possible weak spots in the system already in early phase of the development when adaptations can be made easily. In this webinar\, we will show several examples how simulations are used to virtually test the electronic systems from the thermal and mechanical point of view. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n            \n                \n                    \n                        Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  2.20 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                        Virtual Testing of Thermal-Mechanical Reliability of Electronic Systems – video\n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                         1 file(s)  37.00 MB\n                    \n                    \n                        Login to download.

SUMMARY:KULeuven Course: Increasing your products immunity against electromagnetic disturbances: an approachable way.
DESCRIPTION:The research group ReMI (Reliability in Mechatronics and ICT) organizes a course on basic and advanced techniques to increase the immunity of products against electromagnetic disturbances. \n\n\n\n\n\nue to the ever increasing use of electronic systems in almost every possible application\, the generation of possible disturbances has been continuously growing over the last decade with no signs that this trend will be broken. Besides\, one sees that electronic systems are being applied more and more in and for mission or even safety critical functions which require an extremely high resilience against all environmental stresses\, including electromagnetic disturbances\, over the whole foreseen lifetime. As a product developer it is often very difficult to assess the products environment\, let alone foresee the effect of various electromagnetic disturbances on the product itself.In this training course several topics about the immunity of electronic products and their electromagnetic environment are discussed. Low-cost pre-compliance debugging and protection techniques against ESD\, surge transients\, etc. are presented.Key-note speaker of this course is Keith Armstrong (UK). Keith has written many practical papers and books on design for EMC and EMC debugging. Much of his working life involves solving real-life EMC problems in high-technology products\, systems\, and installations\, for a variety of companies and organisations in a wide range of industries. Keith has always aimed to make products easy to design and manufacture\, work properly\, please their users\, and make money for their manufacturers. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\nDay 1: \n\n\n\n\nIntro on EMC & immunity\n\n\n\nResilience to EM disturbances for mission- or safety-critical systems\n\n\n\nAssessing an EM environment\n\n\n\nOverview of basic EMC immunity test methods\n\n\n\nBasic low-cost precompliance immunity testing \n\n\n\n\nDay 2: \n\n\n\n\nAdvanced low-cost precompliance immunity testing\n\n\n\nProtection against ESD\n\n\n\nProtecting against surge\, transients\, etc\n\n\n\nProtecting from AC/DC power quality\n\n\n\n\nParticipation fee:  \n\n\n\n\n€650 (excl. VAT) for both days\n\n\n\n€350 (excl. VAT) for only day 1A 10% discount applies for members of Agoria\, the RELIM project or the INPROVOL project. The participation fee includes course notes\, lunches and coffee breaks.
