Root cause analysis methodology allows us to leverage learnings and problems from the past to drive our industrial products and materials towards innovation. In this article we explain what root cause analysis is, types, examples, advantages and how we can use it to benefit forensic engineering. What is root cause analysis? Root cause analysis of
The minimum viable product or MVP consists of creating the simplest version of a product that can be tested with users to get feedback and learn from their needs, preferences and behaviors. This way, you can iterate and improve the product until you get the right fit between what you offer and what is in
Product development projects cannot move forward without proof that a product is viable. That’s why a proof of concept (POC) is necessary to demonstrate that a business idea, product or project has a solid foundation on which to start working. Regardless of the industry, a proof of concept will help you evaluate whether your concept
If we talk about bread making, the Bill of Materials BOM would include flour, yeast and water, as well as infrastructure, kneading machines, ovens and exact instructions for the production process. Have you ever heard of the BOM concept? This bill of materials serves to reduce costs in warehouse operations and has a direct impact
Failure studies in industrial machines designate those errors or damages that cause the machinery not to work, in a total or partial way. We find different types of failures in industrial maintenance, which can be dangerous not only for the equipment, but also for the workers themselves. Thus, a study of failures in industrial maintenance
According to the RAE, “hardness” is “the quality of being hard”. And “hard” can be understood as “the body that resists being worked, scratched, compressed or disfigured, that does not lend itself to being reshaped or makes it very difficult to reshape”. In other words: hardness is a resistance of a material to physical alterations
Did you know that one of the types of electronic component testing we perform at Infinitia is IP testing? Indeed, a concept widely used in the industry, as it allows to measure the degree of tightness of these components against solids or liquids. Here we explain what IP protection is, its importance and the different
The shelf life of products is the period of time in which it is considered valid, according to its design or specifications, to perform its function in a safe and effective manner. It should be noted that the useful life of a product varies depending on the product, its quality or even its own maintenance.
Material characterization is an essential process for the control of marketed products. Among the most common techniques is gas chromatography. But what is gas chromatography? Do you know the purpose of this laboratory procedure? In this article, we explain what gas chromatography is, what it consists of, its advantages and applications in different industries. Gas
The potential of 3D printing is almost unattainable. In recent years, its use in product manufacturing has increased, specifically by 41% according to the financial audit E&Y. While it is true that this is not a new technology, because 3D printing has been on the market for several decades, its development has been experienced thanks
Rubén Gotor (Calatayud, 1980) specializes in assembly, “whatever the challenge and whatever the situation”. As a senior technician in electromechanical maintenance in INFINITIA’s Materials Department, his main function is to provide that “technical hand” when creating. With his experience and knowledge in the world of assembly, materials and tools, he gives another point of view
Surely you have an idea to develop and market a product. You’ve started, but you’re stuck. You lack the means, or maybe some help. This situation is more common than you think. That’s why, at INFINITIA, we have tried to find a solution. We do it through an industrial technical consulting service. “When we participate
