Automotive

Motor vehicles today incorporate a rapidly increasing range of electronic assemblies, ranging from engine management and safety to comfort control and entertainment systems. These additional features and increased complexity must be achieved without sacrificing the high overall reliability levels demanded by customers.

Automotive manufacturers have always been at the forefront of reliability enhancement techniques, and set very demanding goals for their suppliers. Environmental Test chambers are used extensively to test components and assemblies over the full range of operating environments, and new techniques such as HALT and HASS are now being used to save both cost and time during development and manufacture.
