MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

Scaling of Industrial IoT solutions requires a Unified Namespace, which acts as a centralized repository of data, information, and context where any application or device can consume or publish data needed for a specific action. A place where everything is a node within an ecosystem

Best described as “What one node knows, all nodes know”

If a Unified Namespace is so important, why do most of us not know what the heck it is and how to achieve it?

In this week’s episode, we talk about the concept of a Unified Namespace strategy early in our Digital Transformation journey to ensure the full potential of your investment and that it can scale. I am pleased to welcome David Shultz of G5 Consulting to discuss architecting a digital transformation solution.

MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode

MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode

Brought up in a mining family that had no time for gender stereotypes, Allyson Hawley, our guest on today’s show, was surprised when she began her mechanical engineering degree with hardly any fellow women students. Throughout her career in the male-dominated mining industry, Allyson has received a lot of support but has also experienced a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination based on the fact that she is a woman. As she explains, sometimes it’s difficult to identify discrimination, which is why it is so important to find a community that has your back. Allyson also shares the ways in which men in these fields can contribute to eradicating the issue of gender discrimination. We discuss how Allyson’s company is working towards increasing gender diversity in STEM fields, changes she has seen take place in her industry over the years, her take on the hiring process, and her thoughts about what it takes to create a sustainable future. Emily is joined by Blair Fraser and Charli K. Matthews as co-hosts and the combination of perspectives makes for an eye-opening discussion!

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss how you go about setting a reliability goal. We got asked by someone who was responsible for a ‘complex’ system …

How reliable does our system need to be?

Unfortunately … you need to tell us that! Hopefully this webinar will help you start asking the right question to work it out for yourself.

Fixing the Irrelevance of Reliability in Your Organization: Just ask ‘why’

Fixing the Irrelevance of Reliability in Your Organization: Just ask ‘why’

Fixing the Irrelevance of Reliability in Your Organization: Just ask ‘why’

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

There are so many books on leadership, management, more leadership, reliability, quality, customer first, even more leadership, et cetera. But there remains a common refrain I hear repeatedly from reliability engineers struggling to make a difference: ‘Reliability is just not relevant to my organization.’ There is a common thread to this common refrain – we only hear it from people who work in organizations that don’t have a clear understanding of ‘why’ they are doing what they do.

It might be indirectly but we are all in the customer service industry. For many of us our customers are not end-users, but other departments in our organization like operations. The challenge set out to this week’s guests was “how do we improve the guest experience”

In this week’s episode, we talk about using AI for Predictive Maintenance on the equipment most of us have spent a lot of time and money to use for a few seconds of fun, amusement park rides. I am pleased to welcome the data science and analytics team from Atos to discuss this unique project that generates over 25 million data points per second.

A Conservation with Tim O’Neill and Fred Dimock

Welcome to episode 64 of the Reliability Matters podcast. On this episode, we’ll have a conversation with two industry experts on the subject of solder voiding mitigation and oven profiling, two subjects which influence solder voiding. This will be a two part episode. Today, we’ll dive into void mitigation and how vacuum reflow technology can help reduce or eliminate voiding. Part two, on episode 65 (in two weeks), we’ll discuss profiling best practices.

My guests today, and one the next episode are Tim O’Neill from AIM Solder and Fred Dimock of BTU. Tim will discuss voiding mitigation from a materials standpoint while Fred will bring cover equipment and profiling stragities.

Timothy O’Neill is the Technical Marketing Manager for AIM Solder. Operating out of AIM’s U.S. Headquarters, Tim is responsible for developing and optimizing product and technical information, collaborating with complimentary suppliers and equipment manufacturers and ensuring AIM’s products exceed expectations and meet market requirements.
Tim is also a technical writer and presenter for industry trade publications and events. He has co-authored several papers on PCB assembly subjects.

Tim is also an IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Specialist.

Fred Dimock is the Manager of Process Technology at BTU International and recently started a consulting business, FCD-Global services.

Fred holds an Associate Degree in Mechanical Design from Wentworth in Boston and a Bachelors Degree in Ceramic Engineering from the State University of New York.

Fred has authored numerous articles on lead free solder, process control, and the operation of continuous furnaces. His papers have been published in English, Chinese, and German.

He has taught numerous SMTA solder reflow classes and participated in the 5-45 Subcommittee for the development of IPC-7801 Reflow Oven Process Control Standard.
Additionally, he wrote the chapter on solder reflow for the Handbook of Electronic Assembly and A Guide to SMTA Certification by Dr Lasky and Jim Hall.

He received Distinguished Speaker status at SMTA Guadalajara Mexico and is a key presenter for the SMTA Jump Start program for new engineers.
