We all know that all you need to work out how many spare parts you need is to put some numbers into a computer, perhaps throw in a ‘confidence’ level as well, and use the number that the computer spits back out at you. Right? [Read more…]
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.

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:
… and so much more!
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!
