MD 141 AI-Driven Electrical Waveform Analysis with Simon Jagers of Semiotic Labs

Could there be unique signatures in your AC motor’s voltage and current measurements that could detect potential failures sooner and more reliable than traditional technologies?

In this week’s episode of Technology Innovation, a Maintenance Disrupted Podcast series, we welcome Simon Jagers, Technology enthusiast & founder of Semiotic Labs. The team at Semiotic labs are using MCA and voltage signals combined with AI to detect and uncover those unique failure signatures in your rotating equipment.

If you have been curious about or have been doing MCA for your rotating equipment health, this is a must-listen!

Episode 60: A Conversation with Rockwell Collins’ Dave Hillman about Solder Voiding

Solder voiding has been with us longer than we know. Modern X-ray inspection technology has allowed assemblers to see and quantify voiding. Metallurgical expert Dave Hillman from Rockwell Collins explains the causes and possible remedies for solder voiding. 

Dave Hillman is a Metallurgical Engineer in the Advanced Operations Engineering Department of Collins Aerospace in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He serves as a consultant to manufacturing on material and processing problems. He served as a Subject Matter Expert for the Lead-free Manhattan Project in 2009. He has published numerous technical papers and was presented with the 2008 SMTA International Conference on Soldering & Reliability “Best of Conference” award and was the recipient of the SMTA “Member of Technical Distinction” Award. Dave was awarded the Da Vinci medal as a Rockwell Engineer of the Year. He serves as the Chairman of the IPC JSTD-002 Solderability committee. He’s also a member of the SMTA where he serves on the SMTA Journal and Soldering & Surface Mount Technology Journal Technical Paper Review committees. He’s a member of the American Society for Metals, the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, and IPC.

If you’re in the electronics assembly industry, you’ve probably seen Dave at numerous technical conferences, imparting wisdom with a style unique to Dave.

SOR 620 Rational Assumptions

SOR 620 Rational Assumptions

Rational Assumptions

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss the roles assumption play in reliability. Assumptions can be very useful … or very dangerous. Why? Because assumptions are information. If they are based on nothing, then assumptions become misinformation. Which means you make the wrong decision. Listen to this podcast to learn more!

245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

We’re glad to have Shon Isenhour, a founding partner at Eruditio, back with us. He was heavily involved in maintenance and reliability, industry, consulting and finally started Eruditio. He’ll help us know more about the role of a steering committee in maintenance and reliability implementations. That’s because many companies struggle with getting leadership and the lower levels of the organization on board. A steering committee is there to help with that change and implementation, but it’s often overlooked.

This episode focuses on:

  • What is the Steering Committee?
    Who and which roles should be on the Steering Committee?
    How do we manage competing interests in the Steering Committee?

… and so much more!

SOR 619 Is Testing The Only Way to Confirm Reliability

Is Testing The Only Way to Confirm Reliability

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss how we confirm the reliability of something we are making. Or maintaining. Or managing. This is in response to someone raising a question regarding reliability allocation – based on an Accendo webinar. And the question was all about working out how to test that we are on track to meet goals allocated to subsystems and components. So what do we do? Well listen to this podcast!

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

We can make a guess, some assumptions, or conduct an experiment. In fact, we use engineering judgment, prudent assumptions to create our experiments that lead to understanding time to failure information. Accelerated life testing, ALT, is one of the most complex and important types of experiments we conduct. It involves samples, failure mechanisms, stress, measurements, and statistics. [Read more…]

A Conversation with CMOS Inventor Dr. Eric Fossom

Episode 59: My guest, Eric Fossum is best known for the invention of the CMOS image sensor better known as the “camera-on-a-chip” used in billions of cameras, from smart phones to web cameras to ingestible pill cameras to DSLRs. 

In 2017, Eric was a co-recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, the world’s top engineering prize (and considered by many as equivalent to the Nobel Prize) for the invention of digital imaging sensors. 

Eric was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and is member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is a solid-state image sensor device physicist and engineer, and his career has included academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership of several startups. He is the John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor of Emerging Technologies at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth college.
