We can spend a staggering amount of time, typically between 20-30% of our time identifying and retrieving the right spare parts. Platinum’s solution for Enterprise Part Search allows you to find the right part in seconds instead of minutes, right from your existing systems.
In this episode, we invite Philipp Descovich of Partium.io and James Kovacevic of the Rooted in Reliability podcast to discuss what’s wrong with the typical spare parts process and how Partium’s technology enables AI and subject experts to find parts up to 50x faster.

Tombstoning is a reflow issue causing components to stand up, creating opens. FCT Solder’s Tony Lentz discusses the causes and mitigation techniques to illuminate tombstoning.
Tony Lentz has worked in the electronics industry since 1994. He entered the industry as a process engineer at a circuit board manufacturer and worked there for 5 years. Since 1999, Tony has worked for FCT Companies as a chemical laboratory manager, production facility manager, and most recently a field application engineer. Since 2013, Tony has focused on field application and R&D for FCT Assembly solder and stencil products.
Tony has extensive experience in research and development, quality control, and technical service with materials used to manufacture and assemble printed circuit boards. Tony has published and presented many papers at industry events. Tony is a speaker of distinction with SMTA, and participates in IPC J-STD-004 and J-STD-005 standards development task groups.
Tony holds B.S. and M.B.S degree in Chemistry. Tony was my guess way back in episode 32 (56 episodes ago) where he talked about stencil design and void reduction.
