Through the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program’s (NRC IRAP) Digital Technology Adoption Pilot Program (DTAPP), Delta-Q received funding to have several of our engineers receive Design for Failure Mode Effect Analysis (DFMEA) training. DFMEA is a method used by engineers to document and explore ways in which a product design might fail in real-world use. The end result is meant to be a product with a much lower failure rate than would be possible without DFMEA.
The contributions of DFMEA thinking to the design of the IC650 charger is spotlighted in a recent article posted on the NRC IRAP web site.
