Failure analysis is the scientific process of determining the root cause of a failure. It is often related to equipment breakdown with varying levels of consequence, from loss of production, to ...

Each phase of a project has unique failure signature patterns. Just like the bathtub curve in Figure 2, we see more “failures” in the initial design, development and early production “ramp up” phase.

Two expectations informed end-users have of electric motor service centers are reliable best practice repairs and root cause failure analysis (RCFA) to prevent recurring failures. Service centers ...

Over 50% of frontend ASIC hardware engineering time is spent on debugging and root cause analysis, spent churning through millions of lines of code and terabytes of waveform data. Despite this, there ...

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a profound transformation. What once centered on single-die silicon packaged in QFN or BGA formats has evolved into a landscape of multi-die integration, ...

Nothing is more frustrating for a fleet than bringing a truck back to a shop for a recurring problem. Given the cost of downtime, fleets expect repairs to be made correctly the first time. Yet, there ...

Fire damage on rooftop solar array. Thorough equipment due diligence helps mitigate risks. Image: CEA. The inverter helps prevent fires in solar systems but can also cause them if not properly ...
