CT E12 Making Sense of Sensors in Manufacturing with Fred Schenkelberg
CT E12 Making Sense of Sensors in Manufacturing with Fred Schenkelberg
In this episode I got to interview the amazing Fred Schenkelberg, who is a reliability expert at FMS Reliability and the owner of the super popular reliability and quality engineering professional development online platform, Accendo Reliability (make sure to check it out if you haven’t already!).
The episode centers on using and making sense of sensors in manufacturing. The application of sensors in manufacturing has become quite widespread. The goal is to collect large amounts of data from manufacturing equipment with the goal for those data to become information, knowledge and aid decision making. Potential areas are equipment maintenance/reliability, product performance and reliability, quality, efficiency, traceability, regulatory etc.
Fred shares with us his experience and wisdom on:
– Misapplication of sensors in manufacturing
– How experimentation prior to setting up a sensor is critical for understanding what you need to (and more importantly, what you don’t need to) collect data on
– Merely looking at sensor data doesn’t replace hands-on, in-person interaction with manufacturing equipment
– Strategies for deciding on what is important to collect data on
QDD 063 Product Design from a Data Professional Viewpoint, with Gabor Szabo (A Chat with Cross Functional Experts)
Product Design from a Data Professional Viewpoint, with Gabor Szabo (A Chat with Cross Functional Experts)
“A Chat with Cross Functional Experts” is a Quality during Design interview series. Our focus is speaking with people that are typically part of a cross-functional team for new product development. We discuss their viewpoints and perspectives regarding new products, the values they bring to new product development, and how they’re involved and work with product design engineering teammates.
Today we talk with Gabor Szabo. Gabor is an engineering and data professional with experience in numerous industries, including the medical device and automotive industries. In his current role a Sr. Principal Engineer of Operations Excellence, he works with various cross-functional teams on validating new processes and products, launching new products, helps them diagnose and solve technical problems. He hosts the Critical Talks podcast. He also develops software and builds data products in R.

Basic Mathematical Symbols and Stuff
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
OK … we have all been there. We have all sat in some statistical presentation or read a document containing mathematical symbols and statistical hieroglyphics we don’t understand. And we pretend we do understand so that we don’t embarrass ourselves. The people we don’t want to embarrass ourselves in front of usually also pretend to understand those symbols and hieroglyphics. This webinar is a light (re)introduction to common mathematical symbols used in many engineering scenarios … including reliability. [Read more…]
RM 098: A Conversation with AIM Solder’s Jen Fijalkowski About Advances in Solder Pastes
A Conversation with AIM Solder’s Jen Fijalkowski About Advances in Solder Pastes
Jen Fijalkowski works for Aim Solder. Jen obtained her B.S. from the University of Rhode Island in Chemical Engineering and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Prior to her role as a Technical Marketing Engineer, she interned as a SMT Process Engineer, where she analyzed various reports regarding solder paste printing and co-authored “Comparison of Aperture Designs, Solder Pastes, Nanocoatings and Print/Inspection Systems”, published in Circuits Assembly Magazine.
Jen also produces a video blog titled “Line Down” where she discusses common questions about solder paste best practices and how to avoid solder paste induced line-down situations.
I spoke with Jen about solder paste best practices as well as some of the latest advances in solder pastes such as low temperature, low voiding, and high reliability solder pastes.

Rhys Davies
Multi-capital value reporting frameworks give Asset Managers an opportunity to align their discipline and thinking with wider sustainability and ESG factors. This is to deliver true sustainability over and above solely net-zero thinking.
In this episode of the Maintenance Mavericks Podcast, we have Rhys Davies on the show. Rhys is a Global Consulting Leader for Asset Management & Operations at Atkins. And, he is also the Chair of the ISO Committee that develops the ISO 55000 standards for asset management.
Rhys shares his passion for helping organizations better understand what “value” means for Asset Managers and their stakeholders. And, more importantly, what it means for the decisions they make in investing in the support of their asset base.

QDD 062 How Does Reliability Engineering Affect (Not Just Assess) Design?
How Does Reliability Engineering Affect (Not Just Assess) Design?
Reliability Engineering isn’t just about assessments. It’s about providing information to make decisions. How does reliability engineering affect design?
We answer all the questions from the classical Kipling Method:
- What kind of design inputs can we expect from a Reliability Engineering working relationship?
- Why is their point of view important?
- When should we get them involved in the product development cycle?
- Who can we generally look to for a reliability engineering viewpoint?
- How can we get them involved?
- Where do we find out more information?
