What is the Optical Microscope? The optical microscope is an advanced equipment designed for the observation and detailed analysis of samples in various scientific and industrial disciplines. This microscope uses visible light and a high quality optical lens system to magnify structures and details invisible to the human eye, which is essential in the precise
What is the Climatic Chamber? The climatic chamber is an essential piece of equipment in the field of product research and development, used to simulate controlled environmental conditions and reproduce various temperature and humidity scenarios. This tool is key to recreate different temperatures and humidity levels in order to evaluate the behavior and resistance of
What is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)? Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is an analytical technique of vital importance in materials science and industry. It allows the properties of a material to be studied as a function of temperature and is based on measuring the change in mass of a sample when it is heated at a controlled rate
What is the thermal shock chamber? The thermal shock chamber is an essential piece of equipment in product research and development laboratories, designed to simulate sudden temperature changes in materials and components. Its main function is to expose test objects to extreme temperature fluctuations, thus evaluating their resistance and behavior under thermal stress. This tool
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.
