Client Overview
A US-based leader in designing and developing innovative measurement solutions for a wide range of applications in petrochemical, energy, environmental, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and plastics industries.
Business Challenge
The client had developed a moisture sensor, which was an old design, they again re-designed their existing solution, which was large, and it did not fit into the existing solution form-factor. Moreover, they wanted to simplify the costly assembly process in manufacturing, which is associated with their current device.
VOLANSYS Contribution
- Development of moisture sensor prototype-III that have a new form-factor design which will leverage the Prototype-II electronics and fit into the dimensions of the existing moisture sensor solution
- Mechanical Enclosure:
- IP65 enclosure design with small form-factor than Generation-I devices
- 3D CAD drawing and 2D detailed drawing
- Faceplate label modifications based on the final design
- CNC tooling for mechanical proto development
- IP65 testing
- Improved final assembly sequence steps and saved product assembly time
- Hardware Design and Development
- Schematics entry (OrCAD / Altium)
- Component placement, PCB layout, and routing (Allegro / Altium)
- Gerber release
- Hardware Prototyping and DVT
- PCB fabrication and assembly
- HW board bring-up and preparing test plan
- DVT report
- EDVT Testing and Validation with Capacitance Box
- Basic validation by simulating different level of wetness using capacitance box and calibrate the sensor
- ROHS, CE and Pressurization Compliance
