How does your product cope in the heat?

2018 appears to be the warmest year in history. But it is not only us people who are affected by the heat. Electronics such as refrigerators and freezers are working overtime and under extreme pressure in the heat.
 
At FORCE Technology, we push electronic products to the limit – every day. This way manufacturers can make sure that their products will function even in extreme situations.

In this edition of Agenda, you can read about accelerated lifetime testing and the advantages of electrical safety testing. We also give you insight into the challenges of LED lighting, and take you behind the scene where the Olympic athletes push their equipment to the limit in our wind tunnel.

Enjoy your reading.

TEAM DANMARK

Team Denmark runs tests in FORCE Technology’s wind tunnel

The Danish national cycling team train hard in their preparations for the 2020 Olympics. To improve their chances of taking home an Olympic medal, they are also testing the aerodynamics of the riders’ equipment. Here more about their tests, and see their video.

PRODUCT RELIABILITY

Accelerated lifetime tests based on the Physics of Failure

Many companies have an increasing need to analyse, verify, and document the lifetime of their newly developed or existing products. They need methods to find out how long their products will last, so that they know what they can guarantee to their customers and what this guarantee will end up costing. An accelerated lifetime test is a way of fast forwarding time so that we do not have to wait 20 years to find out whether a product can actually last 20 years in the real world. 

LEGISLATION AND STANDARDS

New medical device legislation demands increased supervision of software

An increasing number of software products for healthcare professionals and patients, gain a foothold in the healthcare sector. New EU regulation increases checks of high-risk apps and their clinical functionality and makes it harder for software developers to launch products. Learn more about the new rules.

WORKSHOP

Physics of Failure ws with Larry Edson

28 August: Hands-On Physics of Failure workshop. it is time to put all of that ´book learning´ into practice. This one-day workshop will be a hands-on activity with small teams working together to develop realistically accelerated reliability focused test plans for electrical and electro-mechanical products.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

5 good reasons to have your product tested for electrical safety

Electrical safety testing is not just a legal obligation - it also leads to design improvements and good technical documentation. Here are five important reasons to have your electronic product tested for electrical safety before it goes to market.

LED LIGHTING

Benefits and challenges of LED lighting

LED lighting wins on all counts these days with low energy consumption, a long lifetime and better colour quality. However, they do not always perform as well. Here are the key challenges of LED lighting. Want to know more? Then join SPM´s new experience exchange group on LED lighting.

USER EXPERIENCE 

New Behaviour Psychology Field Lab helps you understand users' behaviour

To enhance understanding of user behavior, our Behaviour Psychology Field Lab uses a new approach where known ethnographic methods are being combined with the latest technology in psycho-physiological measurements. This deep insight into user behavior generates valuable input for product developers in the development process. The approach can be used across industries.

SPM FOUNDING MEETING

New SPM Erfa Group Structural simulations of mechanical systems

30 August: We are happy to invite you to the latest initiative from SPM – the founding meeting of a new Erfa Group, which will focus on structural simulations of mechanical systems and their multiphysical aspects.

ATTEND THE MEETING
